[QUOTE="MKMD428, post: 1064234726, member: 16924"] choose SR if u want a bit low maintenance. 4 potters. less engine oil. timing chain. RB is a bit high due to it is belt driven, and 4 liters of engine oil ain't enough. both engine should be ok on your engine bay (provided that your body is in very good condition since E30s are very2 prone to rust.) both engine are quite good for modification, but i reckon the SR has more. more here is being defined as the easiness to sought perf. parts locally. (off course there's an abundance of parts overseas though) good luck for finding RB26 halfcut. and if u find one, u gonna search for a GB also. RB gb aint cheap once u broke it. and if I'm not mistaken..RB gb is not that tough. (except the 4w RB26 gb) SR's oil pump is not that good. prone to be weak.(except for the S15 and distributor type SR...the FF one) just have to be sure that it works well. so all in all i recommend u to opt for SR. get an S14 since it uses T28 ball bearing AR60 compressor housing and has the VTC. if u can get the S15..why not, but the price is not cheap. S13 also okla...but the stock turbo for me is not enough, its a T25 journal bearing with AR80 compressor housing [/QUOTE]
