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

your dreaming mate, i have both and still rate a 20 over 25 anyday

HONDA S2000 forced fed of some sort Bec =)

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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
