RB20? Few factors let to it, there was a time crunch, did the build in a little over 3 weeks so the car could make a drift event, and I found the motor/tranny/wiring/ecu in a town a couple hours away for $1200. Its an awesome match to the car, instant spool/torque, loves to rev in a light car, skidzz with ease :noel:

Plans for it are, tuning, Rebuilt rb25 turbo, injectors and clutch as of now, it already sounds soooo good

I'd say it puts down some pretty good powe, 235 @ the wheels with stock ECU/turbo. Once the Raw brokerage RB25 turbo goes on it'll be around 350whp with ease, also currently the car weights 2500lbs with a driver in it

Title: Re: Presenting the RBmw
Post by: flat_black on March 30, 2015, 10:15:09 PM: nobody doubts the RB25, mine is over 700whp

However the RB20 can belt out 350whp without much fuss
