RB25 240 "The Budget Build" GAPS Supercars Then Gets Challenged by FAST DOMESTIC!

On this episode we feature Ramiro's rowdy RB25 Swapped Nissan S14 240sx "The Budget Build". He bought the 240 bone stock and spent the next 6 years building his perfect S-Chassis 240! Even though Ramiro told us the car was built on a budget utilizing an old school Apexi power fc for tuning, stock head, self taught fabrication, maxed out injectors, etc... the car runs HARD! We put it up against a handful of badass cars on the street to see how his build matches up, enjoy!

A 240 that isn't a drift missile, what a time to be alive! Proper street car

[@HellaNorCal916]

Indeed!!! Only took us 20 years to get here. 🤣

[@xjchase]

These are the builds I live for, street car builds, not camber gang drift missiles. I appreciate them and love drifting but this shit is clean. Wheels not staggered, meat on the tires 🤤

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

Mine does NOT drift, strictly straight away. Ka24de-t 482 whp and 460 wtq 🙂 21 yrs and counting ...

[@FYRARMS]

"I love how clean the interior is", says the dude sitting in an interior full of stickers and a dash mat. LOL! Seriously, though, the car is badass. Love that Ramiro built it himself!

[@elmatador4759]

You must be one of those idiots whose only owned one or two cars but yet knows it all. You must not understand how mint and rare those door panels are alone, not to mention the dash and all other plastics in mint condition. The Dash Mat is needed in climates like Florida to provent cracking. The stickers were only on the moonroof. Now link us to your ride and your KZbin channel so we can critique you

[@BrianCrofoot]

Love a good RB build. Mine makes 600+ wheel and when she hooks, it MOVES! Edit: man I want my car featured on this channel SO BAD

[@YaseenAli-zn9ej]

Sick! Which chassis u have it in? I got an s14 with a 25 neo bolt ons. Planning on going forged soon.

[@BrianCrofoot]

@@YaseenAli-zn9ej R33! Check out a few of my short videos. Just got the fully forged engine broken in and dyno tuned on 50% E. I did my entire build. Everything but the machine work and the final tune. I assembled the engine, did all the fab, welding, wiring, and wrote the base map! It was an amazing process!!! I wish I documented it all. I started to, and I lost an SD card to corruption, and decided just to finish the car for myself

Super nice build I am about to buy a cefiro with a RB25DET and I have had a 180SX for 21yrs. I love it how everything is a 240 in the states when in Japan and Australia it's a S14 200SX same as S15 is a 200SX either way its a insane car.

Thank god he put a Nissan power plant in it. So tired seeing people put 2J’s and LS motors in these.

[@FamilyCTSV]

That’s because the RB cost a lot more

People want to actually go fast 🤷‍♂️ nothing wrong with a 2j or ls when you can go faster cheaper and don't have to worry about breaking the bank with parts that are hard to find

[@petrolhead8851]

I agree with you 100% Tired of seeing crossover swaps

[@BrianCrofoot]

@@Adonis513 it’s not a waste if you do it right. RB’s are one of the best sounding engines in my opinion. They may cost more, and are much lesser known in the US, but a well built RB will never be a waste of money. My RB RIPS!!

Pretty cool to see a properly done S14. Makes me miss the RB25 S14 and the SR20 S13 i had. The S13 had a Mazworx Racing built bottom end, solid lifter conversion, and 67mm top mount turbo making 550whp @ 20psi and 93 octane. I never got around to doing a race gas tune and turning the boost up before selling it back in 2011.
