A friend of mine has a RB26; I think I'll have to pull our cars up for a side by side picture and take some measurements for shits and giggles.

I would pull it, take it apart, see what is damaged, then order up the parts, then take it to someone to put it back together correctly depending on what is damaged. No way am I trusting any of the local machine shops / engine builders.

Build my own motor.

Pull out the motor and electronics, put a custom mattress in the cabin and i'll have a rockin bunk bed.

oh, buy another FRS.

since the car will be that much lighter, i may just remove the floor and drive it around like the Flintstone's car

I'm surprised I don't see more people considering a RB swap.

RB30 bottom ends are cheap over here, but I've always been an SR20 man and seriously considered putting my old motor (built SR with 35r) before selling her in this car but couldn't justify it... Would love to see it done though with the VE head

Good thing Im making use of my fa20 and selling it to fund my 2j swap

why spend all the money to rebuild just to trade it in for half the value?

Hindi · 06-30-2013, 12:29 PM

Well how blown is the engine in question? Rebuild would be cheaper than a new engine.
Half the value? How do you figure?

I'd rather have a frs with the original non rebuilt engine.

Because racecar.

I've said the same thing! Either a 4g63-t or a 6g75m turbocharged.
