Hi guys been looking for a ca engine for a while now and nothings become available so I'm Starting To Think should I go another route i have £700 and was thinking a n/a rb20?? Cheap and withinget budget or would u guys recommended just waiting for a decent ca to pop up ?
Thanks in advance
Wouldn't go na
1998 Nissan 200sx s14a , 2000 std 5 speed with nismo supercoppermix clutch bn6 Sapphire Blue
Why not just SR for simplicity and Amazing noise
FS: HKS SSQV recirc inserts, S14 eccentric rear arm lockout washer kits
It's all budget guys ano sr is best bet but barley get a tall block for 700 these days or should I just keep saving
N/A RB 20's produce about 10HP
I know it's not the best option but been told it's a pretty easy swap hu knows how long I could be waiting for a decent ca yeah could buy a sr for 700 be tall block if that then I'd need all the other bits and pieces just wanting a fast easy fix
An engine swap of any variety will be the opposite of a nice easy solution.
True but u no what I mean easiest as possible

seriously a 1.2 shit box diesel would be faster than your car with an rb20....what's the point?
it's like saying your gonna fit a 1.0 na diesel engine in it..
I already have another car I was only thinking of alternatives from a ca for the money I have if it's going to be s**t then il just wait till a ca pops up

That'd be amazing but would add to way more then sr money
It would. But don't kid yourself that slotting an RB in will be cheap, easy and simple. No swap ever is.

I have been at it since MAY.
It all bolts in and away you go my arse. It does if you just whack it in for a track car.
I would never go through all that again or finish it if i put an NA RB.
See my build thread.
Spend the money rebuilding your own engine that way it will be all fresh. You can buy a 2nd hand lump and it goes pop 6 months later.
dude you have another car.
why the **** would you want to waste several hundred pounds buying a shit engine, then several hundred hours fitting and getting it running properly, to have a car slower than your daily ?
that's like me saying I'm gonna remove the 2.8 outta my beemer and fit a 1.1 because it's cheaper...
That's the thing I have no engine at all in the 13 only reason I was contemplating a rb20de was there available cheap and better then nothing at all otherwise I'd have a ca
If you're going to do a swap, make sure it's something worthwhile. Honestly, it is not an easy or quick job so the end result really has to be worth it.
Cheers pal I think I'm just gunna wait till a decent ca pops up then I have all looms still ran etc anyway il concentrate on exterior in the mean time
Is an rb still in budget with the looms and ecu? Does it then come with gearbox and prop or do you have the ca and does that fit? Do you need front cross member like other rb swaps?
