Default RB25DET in S12/S13 Silvia/200sx/240sx

I just found out that you can swap an RB25DET into my car as well as the second most powerfull and economical VG30ET.....I allready had the VG30ET idea and I've allready got the VG30ET....Should I try to put the RB25 in instead? Its gonna be difficult but it would be hot as hell to have.......Whats the opinions?

$$$$$$$$$$$$ To do that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Just go with SR20 with a GREDDY T78 Turbo, once that ins put in it equals almost to the Skyline swap.
GREDDY T78 power!

Allready have the SR20 Not worried about what it cost.......The sr20 is ok but in Nissans case Bigger is allways better......And the cost isnt that much, I did the homework I can get a front halfg for 1000 bucks more than what i payed to get my S13SR so cost isnt a big deal........

Edit: As for the SR20 Thats a overboosted SR20 Vs. a stock RB25DET And as far as the SR is concerned the VG30ET will make way more torq and speed than the SR will ever make....And its a SOHC .......Minds made up to go big just need reinforcement on how big to go.....lol

I say do it... if you have the money to do sick swaps in this hobby, then by all means. I'd be doing the same thing if I could afford it. I have a list of dream swaps I'm gonna do when I hit the lotto. And trust me, I'm going to be the first person to win the lottery without playing

LOL @ The lotto....The swap is really not that expensive...You guys are thinking in terms of the expensive RB26DETT, I'm talking RB25DET...Its still a beast but its not really a heavily used motor....The hardest part will be the labor end.....I can prolly get a front half imported by "Makoto" for cheap.....I dont know I just want performance opinions...I'll make up my mind in the cost......The main thing is it will cost me more to build the VG30ET than it will to just buy an RB25DET...Only thing i'm gonna have a problem with is the transmission and drive shaft.....(Custom driveshaft)
