    Haha, we are getting him soo frustrated.

    You are the one who is talking about how you have extra cyl, so obviously its a better motor...right.

    Also, upgrade your injectors and a rb20 still won't make shit power on that stock turbo.

    You have a bigger turbo and injectors and still don't make the power my stock turbo'd sr makes.

    Sorry to hear that.

    Frustrated...I hardly think so. Maybe at your irrelevancy regarding this thread perhaps. Secondly, I have not made it a point at all during this discussion to point out the fact RBs have 2 extra cylinders did I? I never made the statement that RB's are better motors than SRs, so do not put words in my mouth.

    As far as the RB20's not making power on the stock turbo, you may be correct. I have seen some pushing 240-250whp, which IMO is not bad. However the RB20's are limited by the capability of the stock turbo, which is not the fault of anyone doing the swap, but that's just how Nissan built the motor.

    You're right, I don't have the power your magical SR makes...wait a tick, I don't even know what hp you are putting down unless you post it. And please, if you're arguments are going to follow the format you've been using on the rest of the thread (note...trash-talking), then please stop until you bring some substantial information. Not a bunch of kindergarden comments...grow up...please. Adults can actually have a conversation without using profanity and hurling insults, I know it's hard but give it a shot...you might feel a bit better about yourself.

    Man, honestly, it is nice to see that you are bringing facts and relevance into this thread instead of lame ass Skillzilla's posts. You obviously have a good head on your shoulders, unlike him.

    Look, it's okay to admit you have the bastard child of Nissan engines. It's what you like, and that's cool. I will be the first to admit that I have the bastard child of Honda motors in my CRX. I don't care. It's what I like. I am not out to make the fastest thing in the world. If I was it wouldn't be a Honda. If we all had the same tastes, then everyone would be driving the same shit. That would be boring.

    I will admit, though, that I know the factory RB20 turbo is a pile of garbage. I know that more power can be had with a turbo worth a shit. BUT, the comparison that you keep making is your RB20 240 to a KA 240. This is not the comparison that WE are making. WE are talking about an SR 240 vs. an RB20 240. Yes, you are making good points, but they are not relevent to this discussion.

    But Halfbaked's SR20DET Sentra still > all. I was there when it made those numbers, and frankly I was suprised it did. But the fact remains that it did, which proves both the superiority of the SR20DET and the fact that he is a badass. Ford fleet van white paint and all.

    I'm not even getting into the dyno debate, but the "accuracy" of any chassis dyno is nothing but opinion. Nothing has ever been proven as fact.
