SR's are nice, but once u drive a RB, the 4 cyl just doesnt do it anymore.

.. but you probably knew i would 😛

I have driven them all, but not a 500hp SR (NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING THEM 😕 ) But take nothing away from SR's, make good power, a lot lighter, and in a SX probably better as a track or race car engine. But Driftz, if u are in CTN again, take my S14 for a drive, and just maybe u like it 😉 😂

R50k for how my car goes and sounds now=bargain 😉 😛 😈

Wow - That is a freakin bargain! 😮

How does the clutch feel? Easy to drive? Heavy pedal? Any shudder?

hey, clutch takes a little getting use to (still get a rough take of every now n then 😳 ) pedal quite firm, but not too bad, just in traffic it gets a little tiresome, but otherwise quite smooth no shudder, feels good all in all.

mabe need to "gym" my left leg abit 😉

whats happening with you and the sx scene at the moment if you dont mind me asking?

Nothing much, but Ive got something in the pipeline. Will let everybody know as soon as its confirmed! 😈

will be waiting to see what you come up with 😉 good luck

Ooh awesome! thanx dude

*Starts saving

If u can sell the old engine, box and other bits, it still works out less.

So we basically know now that it will cost between R45-R50K to do a 'Stock' RB swop ,I say 'stock' as Nirvash has upgraded a few things like clutch,intake ebc etc ,You then can still sell your Existing motor and gearbox to make up some money 😉

From here you can upgrade turbo,w/g,injectors,FPR,exh mani,water meth ,clutch(6 puk), to get to 350kw reliably 8) ,Depends on what you buy thats another R30K easily

So its roughly R80K easily for 350kw RB25 SX .

I think its a good idea to make a sticky thread out of this so it is known what is needed and the costs involved in a RB swop so this question is not covered over and over again.

Moderators 😉

dont for get suspension R8500
and brakes min 3k for full round setup

i think these are a must for a rb swop as you now heavier and going alot faster

True 😉
So should we make it R95K with coilovers and brakes to be safe ? Did i miss anything else ?

insurance

medical aid

tyres

rollcage hahahaha

no think you got it all fpr a basic 2cyld upgrade

Both a good idea even if u upgrade your SR / CA.
