    rb25 is kinda of a waste of time and money, either go rb26 or rb20. rb20 in a s14 is weird tho so go sr or ka-t.

    anybody that has ever modded cars can tell u that u will never get the money u invest in a car back when u sell it. so the most cost efficient way is to buy a s14 which has already been swapped. this is very risky though because u never know if the swap was done properly, how many miles are really on the motor, etc... if you are going to do the swap yourself, then you might not want to take that risk and just do the whole swap yourself, its up to you. but if you are going to pay a shop to do all the work, i would just get a car that already has been swapped.

    as for which motor to get, it doesnt really matter. sr20s and ka-ts can both be very reliable or very unreliable, it all depends if it was done right, and they have about the same hp potential. i would personally go ka-t since the parts are cheaper and easier to get. if u only have 7gs to spend then i would not go rb.
