your question is broad and I am going to take it as a real inquiry. Putting a RB25 in a S13 all depends on how you wish to go about it.
For instance if you want it as low and as far back as you can get it, then you should use the R33 crossmember. Yes I will recommend the Syko Performance kit based on the fact that Syko has designed the nicest engine mount I have seen to date(that does position the engine lower and farther back than their competition). Yes in the course of developing a install kit for the Higher HP RB26 Syko improved on there already excellent mount design. In this case they migrated that mount design to the 25 install kit.
Now you have a choice of trying to do the install on the cheap using stock mounts that will leave the engine sitting higher. Also trying to fashion a elbow/downpipe that would clear your steering, again Syko addressed this issue and no other install kit has. A lot of people notch there elbow, again a on the cheap way that actually reduces flow and affects HP.
Its up to you. There are people that have posted in the thread how to do it on the cheap. I chose to go about it the right way and use a kit that was engineered to do it right and lock as stock as possible. I do sell the Syko kit but I am not Syko take that for what its worth. I believe in their product because its proven to be the best out there in my opinion.
