Rb/ka/Sr 180sx balance - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

trixxxr4_kids · 03-12-2005, 12:04 AM

i`m throwing this out because i`m stuck on a big decision , i bought a 180sx rolling chassy its needs a motor and tranny and i`m stuck . Im not gonna throw in a KA in a RHD too gay , so i want to do and SR swap or and RB26 swap with an RB25 trans . Now my question is whats the balance of the 180sx with an SR 20 is it like 60/40 35/35 is it near 50/50 i dont know the cars balance i want to do an RB for power but i hear it makes the car front heavy and drastically distorts the cars grip ability . Any help would be much appreciated

it all depend on what u planning to used the car for. track everyday? daily? rb swap are for hardcore drag. dont just read a bunch of post about rb and fell into the hype, it is easy to fall in, once u fall in you dont know you in it. rb26? u need 10g sitting in the bank. even though it is a great it not for everyone. put a ka in there used it strictly for daily. stick an rb in there strickly track.

did you pick up a japanese chassis? whats soo gay about the KA? if you say cause its a "truck engine" dont say no more.. ill know what kinda person you are.....

When he says 180sx I am thinking its a japanese chassis.

If it's going to be built from the ground up and he needs to go through an engine installation...I guess I can see an advantage towards RB/SR

Although...you could buy a KA for much cheaper and since it's out of the car and you need to drop it in anyways, ...you can build the crap out of it =P

just put in a SR

maybe he just wants to know the balance of the car , and if its worth tossing in an RB without affecting the cars balance, for drag do and RB for grip and drift go with an SR
