Mounts and wiring harness are the biggest, then downpipe etc, which was easy cause my friend welds. Helped said friend do an rb20 swap a few weeks ago, nothing will kick you in the dick faster than mounts that wont line up or a screwy harness

Key points are buy a RB25 or 26. If you are wanting a 2.0 go buy a SR20, don't waste your time with a RB20.

I feel like this is a bait thread to see if OV ever came back.
