The RB-series motors are a little older than the SR-series motors. The reason why people choose the SR-series, would probably relate to the aluminum block and cheaper parts availability. Not to mention it's a smaller engine, which is easier to swap in a car, and cheaper than it's Skyline bretheren.

 

Yeah, the SR is much easier. The RB is just to tight in my opinion. I think the biggest reason people are using the RB is that they are cheap and then they can say they have a SKyline engine. I have another guy that just bought a Skyline gt and is about to bring it to me to swap in all of the gtr engine, drivetrain, suspension and brakes.

 

1jz/2jz fit better in LHD 240sx chassis.

supra shifter comes through stock location. engine mounts are directly above the x-member, and the exhaust is on the right so it clears the steering shaft.

Where are you seeing RB's for cheap? I've always seen SR's cheaper than RB's.

 

Sure the sr's are cheaper, but the sr prices have came down. You can get the rb's for what the sr's used to cost. Usually around $2000.

THe rb does pretty much the same thing. The shifter goes through the stock location, you can buy mounts that bolt up, and the exhaust clears pretty much just like an SR. Three inch pipe is no problem.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the "fad" value of the RB. Thank you for the "discovery channel" answer however.

The exhaust does not correctly clear the steering shaft, but what do i care. I'm never building one, I've just watched 4+ rb swaps and a 1jz swap take place with my own eyes.
