Which is better a VR38DETT or RB26DETT?

Q: WELL MY BUDDY AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FAMOUS RB26 FOR HIS 240 SX, BUT I THOUGHT THE NEW NISSAN SKYLINES WERE RUNNING A RB26. SO WHICH MOTOR IS BETTER

A: WELL A VR38DETT DISPLACES MORE 3.8 LITERS AS OPPOSED TO 2.6. IT MAKES ABOUT 200 MORE HORSEPOWER FROM THE FACTORY. I DOUBT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND A VR38DETT SINCE THE NEW GTR HAS ONLY BEEN OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT AND ISN'T A COMMON CAR WITH A COMMON ENGINE. THE RB26DETT WAS ONLY USED IN R31 TO R34 GTRS. THE LAST SKYLINES IN JAPAN WERE POWERED BY A VQ35DE. FOR A 240SX YOU WOULD BEST OFF TURBOING THE KA24DE. ITS NOT THE MOST POPULAR OPTION BUT THE KA IS CAST IRON JUST LIKE THE RB AND VG ENGINES. THEY CAN MAKE 1000HP WHICH IS PRETTY AMAZING FOR A FOUR CYLINDER. A CA18DET OR SR20DET ISN'T A BAD OPTION EITHER IF YOU ARE INTO SMALLER ENGINES. EDIT: AS ATSUN SAID NOBODY HAS DONE MUCH WORK WITH THE GT-R THE BIGGEST NEWS I'VE HEARD WAS AN EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS RELEASED THAT GIVES 20HP. I DOUBT MUCH MORE WILL BE DONE THOUGH. NOT MANY COMPANIES WOULD WANT TO TEST PARTS ON A $70,000 CAR ESPECIALLY IF IT ALREADY HAS A REPUTATION FOR BEING HARD TO TUNE THANKS TO ALL THE ELECTRONIC ASPECTS OF THE NEW GT-R. WITH JDM USED ENGINES IF A COMPANY DESTROYS AN ENGINE TESTING PARTS IT'S ONLY $3000 OR LESS TO REPLACE RB26DETT INCLUDED AND IF YOU CAN SELL THE PARTS YOU MAKE YOU CAN EASILY MAKE IT BACK. BRAND NEW VR38DETTS AREN'T CHEAP ENOUGH OR COMMON ENOUGH TO MAKE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT WORTH THE RISKS OF TAMPERING WITH THEM.
