maybe you missed something, putting an rb20 into anything besides an s12 or maybe a z31 is a complete waste of a good car. you know what even putting an rb20 into an s12 would be wrong, since a redtop botls straight in and makes more power.

actually your wrong, you can make 300whp on an rb25 with a ball valve and a fmic. its not a good idea but you could do it. in fact there was an rb25 making like 700whp and the guy hadnt even touched the motor yet. as for the 26 how dare you say such things. the guts of that bad boy are good to like 600+whp, the turbos arent but everything else is.
