I was wondering if it was a good idea to replace the RB30E motor with the SR20DE motor and start the mods on the SR20DE motor.

True..... Just was asking. Because I think the VL commodore weights the same as a S13 Silvia. I could be wrong.... But thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats not very nice carcrazy :mrgreen: :P Idiot - A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years (maybe exchaser ) and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive. no where does it say an idiot is someone who was bribed to say "no" hehehe Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Why not? The conversion wouldn't be too bad if you went mental on a quad throttle n/a SR20DE... but; A SR20DET (turbo) would be better, and would get the car moving. VL weighs a bit more than a S14 or S15. If you worked the SR to 160rwkw or so (which is relatively easy with all the S13 development) and changed diff ratios to 4.11 or higher it would make your car interesting. Just make sure to put in the 5 speed box too Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If i remember right, some of the VB commodore's were 4 cylinder. Propelled the car to the end of the quarter in 22 sec. That was obviously a **** motor but... Mick Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
