just got my car????

try november of 05

but thanks for talkin out your ass

and i have to turbo the KA to get the same amount as an SR, are you shitting me??

I could build a NA KA that make the same amount as the SR

guess what your SR's are barely 200 hp at the wheels

[Benefit]

whatever man just turbo your ka...and see what happens

CA18ET > KA24DE-T

And no that's not a typo.

My S12 > any KA. It's gangsta2daSkull.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Awesome. A KA with exhaust puts down about 130whp. So where is that 70whp going to come from? You will spend WAY more to get a KA to 200whp NA than you would spend just swapping in an SR.

I'm not saying the SR is the best engine. I'm just saying it's the easiest. They're cheap, they're light, they're easy to install, and there is a fucking ginormous aftermarket for them.

I agree, Id rather spend 3 grand on a reliable SR. All i need is enough to get me sideways, honestly. I know that sounds gay, but why fix what isnt broken?

BTW, a stock KA with a stock SR T25 will push as much as a S15 SR20. Its been dyno proven. Lots more torque too. All i know is, you better get some updated rods and bearings, believe me, when they say KA-T is timebomb, they mean it. My motor only had 90k on it too...

Just like TheSnail said...that's at the CRANK. On a dyno, a stock KA will put down 130whp if it's healthy. Take in mind I saw a S14 with a catback and intake make 130whp. I've seen a SOHC KA put down 99whp.

Yea you can but it would cost you a shit load...

The reason why people say they make more power on a KA-T isn't because it is a better motor but because they put bigger turbos on it, no one puts a t25 on there KA to turbo it. Put a t25 on a KA and I guarentee my SR will last longer then it.

bottom line, KA24POS. SR20DET.....alot better motor. KA24DE=155hp? out of a 2.4L motor? SR20DET makes 205hp from the s13 motor. 2.0L 205hp. KA is a klunky truck motor. all torque, no power. SR is alo higher rev, alot more reliable. save your money and buy the SR. and the RB's come out alot more expensive anyways. RB has to have exrememly expensive mounts, SR uses stock motor mounts. if money were not a concern, i'd have gone with an rb25. but anything is better than the KA, i mean even honda motors....they're better than a KA. go throw your $3000 into that KA, have a heavy ass block, make your 250 HP and call it a day, or buy the SR, do the swap, spend like $2000. that leaves you with $1000 to spend on a build up, you make alot more that 250hp. but keep your mouth shut until you have something good to say.

You should probably do some more research. KA's were in more types of car than truck. not that I dont agree with you though.
