Of course mate, a good workshop will make what ever you want fit into whatever. Whether it's cost effective or the end result is worth it over hotting up the SR20DET I disagree, keep the SR20 they are a good engine.

The main reason people fit rb20's to s13's is because their s13's came with the CA18 and a SR20 is twice as much as a RB20.

Yep comes down to cost, not the fact that they are better. Also the 2 extra cylinders handing over suspension plays hakoc with the balance/handling.

Go the rb26dett in the S15, that would be the ultimate. If money was no isue of course. Someone will do it here soon no doubt, probably already been done.Seen pics of some from Japan. PSI

Been done in Japan a silvia with RB26TT with 800HP! Considering silvia's don't weigh that much!...

yeah, you get people putting SR20s into skylines for better weight dist. and handling, I wouldn't pull an SR20 out to put an RB in. Unless you just wanted to go in a straight line. Then it'd be damn cool y0
