ive said it before and ill say it again...

Why in gods name would you put an RB20 into a silvia/180/sil80???

The power has the same as an SR20 and it is heavier, i dont really like nissans but the silvia/180/sil80 is fairly well balanced for drifting and the RB20 ruins all that...

end of rant

Have fun with it tho, as with some mods it should have a fair it of power...

the RB engines are a lot cheaper to come by, they came out in quite a few of the older cars in the nissan family, from the r32 skylines to the 4 door cefiros, the power u can get from an rb is different to the power from an sr, ie the same 150 rwkw in an sr is different to 150rwkw in an RB.... different powerbands/torque curves, bottom end vs top end etc... also if the previous owner purchased a front cut for the conversion then they would have got the box, RB gearboxes are pretty much indestructable.... they can hack one hell of a pounding.... also the brakes from an rb car would be bigger than those of an SR so u get to upgrade the brakes too...

sorry for the long rant, i currently drive a black sr20det 180sx (as in my signature), but im selling it to join the toyota family.... im getting a import turbo mr2 this week, i cant wait..

theres no denying bang for ur buck value when u compare $ to kw on a nissan, but something about the mr2 makes me want it...

but im sure u will love the drive of the nissan and the RB should give it an awesome note.... one thing though is the turbo on the RB depending on which car it came from i heard aint that good, theres plenty of places that u can get relatively cheap upgrades, PM me and ill send the sites if u want...

as for the computer id also recomend power FC, most tuners here know how to tune them for RB motors like the backs of their hands... get some quotes and post up how much uve been quoted for a power FC and ill see if can find one cheaper for u...

also if ur thinking about getting a kit, ie vertex like mine then getting an angled muffler doesnt help... also an angled muffler means another bend, i know it doesnt make a lot of a difference but the less restriction the better and mandrel bends arent cheap either....

the air flow meter on an RB is pretty damn big, but prolly getting the z32 one isnt a bad option as it goes hand in hand with the power fc..

put up a list of the goodies it has so we can see what else she has...

awesome ride....
