Definately RB26DETT because it is just the sickest swap ever done for the nissan 240. Yeah the others are possible with lots of fab and money but I built my rb26dett s13 for less than 8k including the car.

Cant beat that with a stick.

I'm going to have to vote for the SR20DET. Why? Well, it being my stock motor is half the reason. But it's more than adequate for me. It's tame when I want it to be, and not-so-tame when I don't. Plus it's a solid building block for mods.

Did someone say 732bhp?

Unommon and expensive. That particular cars got something like $20,000 (AUD) worth of suspension gear alone! And sucks 4 litres per minute of $7.50/L race fuel. I have no use for that much power though. My aim is 300bhp tops, which is more than what I need.

I agree, S15's look amazing. Which is why I'll be trading my S14 in for one in a few years

I voted SR20DET only because that is what I wanna do for my senior project.

If it wasn't for that I would slap on a turbo on to my SOHC KA.Yea that's right bee-atches!!KA24ET!!!

Who's the buster that didnt add SOHC KA's to the choices?

Afterall,the SOHC does have plenty of potential since afterall it was used in 24 hour endurance races in the early nineties.

id go with the sr, cause its balanced with decent power, and it fits without mods.
