Quoted again for the same reason.

I dont know, some people do piss me off easily, but you ... you make it so obvious that it does not. What are you ? Kingtal0n boyfriend ? You sure have a similar writing style. Anyway, your post was again flagged as innapropriate, insulting and off topic. Grow up man.

I had planned on leaving this lsx - ca18 - rb argument alone but so you know why I am getting on your ass I will explain.

(1) No one cares about your CA18.
(2) This was a discussion about the differences between the different model year RB25 motors. Not CA, NOT LSx. Not your grand pappies SBC..
(3) You are from France. Please explain to me what you know about the value of our currency, our import tax laws, and standard market prices. I picked up my rb25 neo motorset for 1800 cash. From a legit importer.
(4) Your thoughts about Americans wanting "exotic" JDM motors is completely off the wall. Glad you threw that in there. Most of those type bought SR20s. No need to further explain that one..
(5) RB motors are no less reliable than your CA.. or an LS motor. Its all about how you build and take care of them.. Trust me, Ive seen more blown up LS motors than I have RB..

I'm glad you gave your opinions. Most of which should have never made it to this thread. If you didnt have anything to say about the original topic you should have kept your mouth shut. Do you see what happened after your post? MORE idiots come in talking about 4G63s and RB34s... You turned a good thread into forum garbage. You killed the discussion the moment you brought up a different motor. I'm not just a punk on here. I've been on here for a long time. I do contribute to this forum as much as I can and have never had a problem with any of the mods. The moment you treat them like mommy and daddy and run to them for everything before fighting your own battles, is the moment you look like a 12 year old boy with sand in his vagina. So.. I will be more than willing to have a conversation with any of the mods about this. So far I haven't seen anything. They should however close this thread since its officially dead..

You dont give a dime about opinions, you just wanted to insult people, which you did one more time. Not only did you insult me, but you also insulted other posters with that one.

Considering it is the 4th time i make a call to mods and you still go unpunished, i wonder who you are sleeping with to be allowed to do this, really.

BTW the time you have been on here has nothing to do with being a punk - and you said it yourself, dont put the blame on me again.

Are you talking about Jdm engine Depot and JDM engine zone? I've thought about going to them but looking at reviews it looks like a lot of people get screwed by Jdm Engine Depot.

The honda guys love JDM engine ZONE

But I would just research what to look for in a Junkyard motor (that is what it really is) and check each place out in person. They are only like 1 hour away from each other I think.

Jesus christ a full rb26 for 2200 is a pretty sweet deal.






As far as swaps op

Rb20- my opinion is that there seems to be not as much aftermarket for these guys. Any GOOD parts place will be able to get you stuff but I think the intake manis were very expensive compared to other rb series.
I would suggest this one if you know what you would be using as far as parts and you know what the hell you are doing (meaning you know where to get parts and how to build motors and tune them)

25- this is the pretty standard choice for most people

S1 and S2 is what most people get. Just read up on each and see what deals you can find. The neo6 is good to, you can't really go wrong with either just shop around for deals I guess

rb26 if you have money to spend on a baller ass swap


1j and 2jz is good too. It's a little easier to find people to tune the jz motors around the tri state area (my opinion)

supra forums is a good place to find parts (like a us spec head etc)

Even the 1uz is good if you can find some sc400 whatever in junkyards (i did find some) people buy those long blocks for under 1,000 so thats a plus. You can use the ka trans on that. a couple people get them running for under 2 grand if they kno what they are doing.



Just make some spreadsheets on the motor swaps you like and price everything out. Keep 1000-1500 on the side for an "Oh shit" fund

Your the only one crying about it.

if a mod had to "punish" every user that insulted someone on here, they would never stop working.. Ive insulted my own friends worse that calling them an idiot.. if the word idiot is that bad then i really am sorry your that sensitive. i dont come here to insult people.. there are much worse trolls on this board for that. wheres ixifxi when you need him.. if you want to keep going at this you can PM. arguing with you is like arguing with my 4 year old nephew.. thats not an insult. thats a fact.. go on. "call" the mods.

This is not a question to do a quality swap or not, this is a question of HP/L and how stressed an engine can be to stay reliable. Name it what you want, a tuned 2L turbo engine outputting 300/400HP will always be less reliable than an NA 3/4/5L V8 outputting the same.

BTW I have run a ca18det for some years already. Why ? Because that is the engine that comes with the car here. It gets a check / rebuild every 20.000 miles for a mere ~300WHP output, i have already been through 2 gearboxes (3rd one is on its way out too - btw rb20 gearboxes are the same, rb25 are a bit stronger), and i think even an LSx eats less fuel.

Your choices though ... my thought is you guys just want exotic "JDM" engine in your cars. That is not a problem in itself ... just say it. But from a performance / price / reliability point of view, they cant win against the engines that are already available in the US.
LSx swap isnt exactly cheap. LS1 motorsets still go for more than what you can get an RB25. It's the same amount of work (roughly) to swap them both in. Had a buddy track everything he spent on his LS swap, and he came up to a tad bit over $9k, while he did most of the job himself.
