Well i have an '89 a rolling chassis

so i was wondering if you guys can give me the best set up for an rb20

injectors and all that

im planning to have whp between 300-450 i really dont want anymore than that

if u guys got the final price for the whole setup that would be awesome..

i want a dd with a lil more power to the wheel

not really too concerned about dirfiting for now so :)

Try posting this in the RB section you'll get more of a response...First Question what kind of driving will you be doing...Something that you want response from like drifting or dragging?

Get the car running properly first without any errors. There are so many failures out there because they change everything at once and pay so much money to get it fixed. So its one problem after another. Once its running appreciate it for what it is and have fun while you drive it. The car / engine in stock form is more then enough for most people to keep them satisfied. Once you think the bugs been worked out do as you please. Just drive it stock for a bit and learn to love it at that stage.

That should just buff right out :thumbsup

ha. but on a serious note, what all have you priced out for the rb?
fuel system, ecm, and stuff like that.
Did you say you already picked up the RB or it's in the future?
(because if you have it now then I demand pics!)

Smart choice on shopping around before you geit and see what they go for. People jump on the bandwagon way too fast and get scammed or end up with a POS motor for a cheap price. Then they wonder why they received a crappy motor.

Its also good to pay a bit more for a company everyone knows. Like our sponsors, they tend to be tad high, but they are also the ones that show you a running motor before you get it, compression test it, leak down test, and a healthy running motor :). So you actually see the motor you are getting with results.

yeah i mean whats the point of getting something reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal cheap if your just gonna have to replace it or modify it to work and in the end sometimes u pay double the price

haha i'd rather spend that lil extra and be confident i bought something reliable

rather be safe than sorry

especially with something like this

sounds like you've got this build going in the right direction.
I personally am going to go with a Jhot rb. They really stand behind their products and give you all the information they can on it so you can make an educated decision.
