rb25 in a vs

rb25 stock turbo = 100% epa friendly
rb30 non turbo converted to turbo = 0% epa friendly.

I reckon the laws are bendy enough to allow a turbo on a NA RB30 to be legal if everythings stock, since it's a factory option, same deal as bigger wheels and bigger brakes really, factory cams and manifold options are legal

It would be easier and cheaper to turbo the N/A high compression RB30 motor. I think you have to upgrade the brakes to VL turbo or better for it too be road worthy.

just wack a turbo on

I'd go with the RB25.

here we install the RB on everything, (Camaro, Laural, Supra, Cefiro ... etc)

if you want it as a daily driver, get the RB25DE (non turbo) very strong, never breaks down ...

why would you stick a RB25 in a supra :P thats the biggest downgrade ever

stick a 2jz in it :P

once you turbo your RB30E you will be 2 kebabs away from hektic!

Rb25/30.

Do it!

Otherwise I'd just convert the 30, you won't destroy it if you're smart about things.

the Supra engine 2jz-gte is good and strong ... but not reliable

they never sustain the heat,

the RB25 is a beast!, rarely break down, doesn't need much care (oil,coolant..)

and if you upgrade a few internal components, you will be able to stick a bigger turbo ....
