No, thank you. If you have a horsepower fetish, just upgrade an SR20DET. Don't go about screwing up the balance of the S13 just to be different.

As for the Rb, its an excellent swap idea. However its costly, and adds weight to the car, you need to know what your doing to install it (dispite what the guys who sell the motors will tell you) And it takes some skill to tune it all to handle right. Your not just going to be slapping one into a stock S13 for example and go drifting.
However it can be very potent do alot of reading and talk to the guys who have done it. Plus nothing looks sexier under the hood of a S13 then a Rb25.

Near or over 100 lbs. However alot of the Extra weight is in the transmission which is much beefier then the SR and KA transmissions. Which puts alot of the weight in a good area.. And with the motor back as far as possible it keeps the weight tucked in pretty good. However you understand the RB is a physically much larger engine. So nothing you do will make it lighter nor are you ever going to be able to make the distribution better then you can make a sr or ka.
I think the real trick with chassis tunning.. asumming you have the good mounts and stuff, is handling the extra weight. Extra weight on the suspension, brakes everything.

My brothers site and he makes the mounts for the RB swap. RB's are great and they are actually cheaper to get than the SR's if you look cause it's not as popular.
I'd do it.
