    Echonova if you knew how much power comes out of doing that swap then you wouldnt say anything. gay???? far from it. it would be the best built swap that you could do, that is if you can find the block. look into it and you will understand. have a nice day.

    It's not the power, it's useable power and reliability....then the ease of getting parts when you need them.

    You can get tons of power from any engine if it's built properly: 900 hp from a b-series honda 4 cylinder and you can get parts everywhere, you can get 1,000+ from a 2jz and you can get parts everywhere - but with an RB where do suppose you'll find even the simpliest part for it? If you've ever been around the VG30de/det's then you know what kind of pain they can be and they were even sold in the US for 6+ years so imagine how difficult an RB is. Parts don't break when you aren't using or don't need the car, first you'll have to find the part then wait 1 to 3 weeks for shipping...how do you suppose that works out when you break something at the track or an event? All the money spent for the weekend is wasted bc you can't continue to drive the car. Unless you have a surplus of parts and spares it's not exactly the wisest setup for this side of the pond.
