Why do I want a 25?

Sorry my bad i forgot that it was Rev's that accelerate a car not Torque :ninja: . That is the reason why you want a 25 and it's also why an SR is a better 2 litre (that and aftermarket part support). A 25 will go rev for rev with a 20 it's just that they don't need to to make torque.

SR's are sh!t.

compared to an rb25, yes.

compared to an rb20... no.

the only thing the rb20 has going for it over the sr is the ability to sit on limiter all day*... but thats really only because you practically have to drive them on limiter.

sr you can just sit in the thick of the midrange and tear away happily.

*granted, the rb also sounds somewhat less shit.

Thanks for all your responses guys (well most of you :D)... I am definitely selling the GTR (boo I know) to get something cheaper so I can save/buy a house etc. I can always get another GTR down the line :)

Oh, spotter's fee to anyone who finds someone to buy it too :)

But yeah, Evo probably at the top of the list right now... I'm still trying to convince myself that I NEED another car ha ha ha

fun cars but hope

enjoy broken balancer shafts.. it destroys the block when they go...lol mine did it at about 2000 rpm , leaving the driveway in normal fashion on a stock motor. not thrashed one either. good engine without shafts if you dont mind the extra vibrations, I didnt put any back in my second motor from japan..

so much shit talk.. and i havnt even posted yet!

evo's are fantastic cars. and what trumps them over a STI or GTR is the invisibility to cops.

my vr4 (not an evo, but an awd twin turbo 4 door mitsubishi) is on its guts and i drive past cops regularly and never get a 2nd look. loving it.

evo's are good cars but still not my type of car! i drive them and i can see why they're fast but they still don't tickle my fancy. i like to stick to rear wheel driven cars with a bit of grunt. but corolla sportivos aren't bad cars, that would be my choice anyway

I am not doing it to get out of doing it cheaply at all but I think the RB20 is fantastic for hovering around 7,000rpm for extended periods of time.

SR's are sh!t.

amen that

There's something wrong with your rating system then. I'd prefer a 265 HEMI to an RB20.

Easy, buy an EVO X....no balance shaft

I have both aswell, maybe your 25 needs a tune up lol

Maybe he's comparing his RB20 to the vehicle in his profile. As for 20 vs 25 thats an absolute no brainer the 25 hands down, in fact the SR20 is a torquier engine than the 20 been proven time and time again.......6 Pack hemi is the only NA i'd consider in a six for performance, absolute torque kings.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
