RB swaps in small cars are ****ing stupid. Hi, I'm going to throw a huge chunk of cast iron in the front of what was previously a balanced car, introduce myself to all sorts of sensor nightmares (talk to a GTR owner sometime), all so I can burn the rear tires off in a straight line because the car now understeers like a pig and tries to twist itself into a pretzel when I boot it. That, or I'm not making the 800+hp that would justify an RB over a lesser motor, and it's a waste anyways.

You want stupid power in a small car, at least just do a LS1/2; all aluminum, so it usually weighs the same or less than what it replaces, and it doesn't completely upset the whole point of the car in the first place.

Unless you're trying to build a drag car, in which case you're gayer than a bag of dicks anyways

There is one exception to the RB ricockulousness, and that's RB into a Z car. It had a fat iron motor anyway.

Ah. I didn't realise there was a big difference in motors overall other than power potential. I have been schooled

Beat me, after reading your first part I was going to recommend an LS1/2 or better yet a 7, since they are actually pretty ****ing light... but you already won the debate DO WORK SON!
