i would say the RB25 is because there is more bang for ur buck there when it comes to modding!! although it will take some time and extra cash to fix it when it breaks, if u take care of it, it shouldnt break so there should be no problems! if i had the money its what i would be doing!!

What site? If it has RB25s listed cheaper then SR(S13 and S14, S15 SR is more expensive) there is something REALLY fishy.

BTW, RB25>SR(even though the RB25 costs more then most SRs and take some more money to fit properly.)

There's some automatics out there pretty cheap, I've sold A/T RB25 clips for $2000 before. If it's a 5sp then Hyjynx is probably right I'd be cautious.

Now it makes sense....You would need to but the ECU and Wiring harness, and maybe even more parts(Sensors and etc.)

BTW, is that 2050 Canadian or US $?

where are you at in Canada? We're real close to the BC Border doesn't get much better than being able to check out the swap in person. We'll have more in about 3 weeks, currently sold out.

I checked and J-Spec Auto Sports isn't on the Better Business Bureau list like they said they are on their website.

Osakajdmmotors.com sells the rb25 swap for 2000. I'm not sure about their nissan motors, but I have seen 3 different Honda motors come from them, and they were all in good condition. The only thing was, their customer service sucked pretty bad. But if you can deal with that, their motors should be alright IMO.

I heard the only way to get a good engine from osaka is to pick it your self so I'd stay away from them.
