R32gtst

So I've decided to buy a r32! I'm pre approved for a loan but only have 2 weeks to use it. I have the option of about 3 cars. 2 of them have rb25det but run RB20 transmissions. And 1 has the standard rb20 

The 2 rb25det are around the $10-12k and the other is $6k 

I have a budget of around $15k 

Question is am I better of buying the 25 swapped ones and spending a few thousand on mods. Trying to reach the 250kw -280kw with a budget of around $5k 

Or buying the rb20det one and having around $9k to spend and doing a 25/26swap ? 

The car will be only used as a weekender and maybe a track day once a year. 

And whatever one I get will be upgraded over the next few years.

$5K will not bring a stock RB25DET up to 250KW and upgrade to a big box transmission. Do not have your choices dictated to by financiers. If you are good for a loan take your time finding the right car and use another lender if necessary.

The 2 rb25det have a few mods already done. Fmic 

Exhaust 

Upgraded coil packs 

And greedy forward facing plemium and throttle body. What else do u think it would need?

Obviously bigger injectors,afm,turbo boost control and ecu ?

3-5k to bring a stock RB25 to 250-280kw is a joke right? Injectors, turbo, ecu, RB25 gearbox, clutch, tail shaft, tune plus all the other small things your looking at $10k minimum. If you want to be able to make stop, turn and go you are going to need a 1.5 way LSD, decent pads and rotors, briaded brake lines, tyres, new suspension and new bushes, that's another $10k there.

My personal opinion is don't get a bank loan for your toys, if you can't pay for them straight up wait until you can.

How much HP will 5k get me?

how long is a piece of string...

 

parts, labor, tuning...?

 

sounds like you barely have enough mechanical knowledge or skill to change a flat tyre.
