Stop forcing your Mazda nonsense on us! We like pistons, damnit!

yea but its easier to rebuild the piston engine
fuck rebuilding,just pop a new one in
yeah cause were all ballin like that
a 13BT is only like $1k
Simple power equation. more valve area = more power.
Well said.
If you truly are after the most power potential/parts availability/price, the LS1 is the way to go. Capable of 450 REAR wheel hp with just a cam swap, rev to 7k safely stock (arp rod bolts are suggested past that), weighs less than all other 240 swaps except the SR, can get over 30 mpg, and will hold up to 700hp on the stock bottom. Its also one of the easiest swaps I have ever performed. You can even upgrade or even stroke the bottom end for less than $2k.
Then theres the power under the curve (torque), which is always great. Imagine what you could do with a boosted one?
Nowhere near it. And take that from someone who has done both.
yeah but its american FUCK THAT
For around the same you could have 400hp, 30+ mpg, working dash, working AC, working PS, stock reliabilty, and an 11 second capable car.
I have close to $10k in this project, including the 95' S14. And thats also including $2500 in engine mods, Kaaz 2 way, aluminum driveshaft, and much more that I didnt need to include.
Not bashing on the SR (it is a great swap), just pointing out some things about the LS1 swap.
Whats that got to do with anything? Arent you also?
I agree the LS1 has it's merits. I just don't trust GM's reliability as far as I could throw it.
BTW, I autoX'd my car yesterday. The trip was awesome because I now have working A/C ($140 cutom line made by Auto Cool in Smyrna). I had never raced a RWD car, nor had I REALLY pushed my 240 like that....so I learned a lot. But the car kicked serious ass. It was SOOOOO fun to fly around those cones, and be able to steer it with the gas pedal. I had ZERO problems all day...even flying around an autocross in 98degree weather in first gear close to redline.
I <3 my SR.
Why do you not trust thier reliability? GM's engine reliability has been proven over and over and easily tops most others, especially when it comes to V8's. Of course they like all manufacturers have had their bad apples, but overall they are one of the top for reliability. The small block chevy has been the longest running design over ALL other engines, and it was designed in the early 50's. Granted nowhere near the most efficient motor, but to say they arent reliable is just not true. No offense, but it sounds as though you just dont know much about them.
How many 300K mile SR's, KA's, B16's, 2JZ's, RB's, 1JZ's, etc. have you seen that are still running? I have personally seen (and owned quite a few) a lot more GM motors still going at 300K than any other, by a long shot. Of course I did have a GM 2.8 v6 turd once, now that was a shitty motor.
Great now I feel like a GM fanboy.
I <3 my SR too!

20B
LMFAO!! +1
lmao @ the toad
ya laugh now,but just wait....and yall gonna shit when u see the C4 vette with a 26B i got planned
lol
sr20 is the shit!
lol,yall better hope i dont get rich.....or ill rip your 240s a new one....and stick my wankel in
SR gonna pull a premuim. WTF does that mean?
Ok lets look at this yes you TURBO a KA you get same HP as a SR. UMMM SR is ALREADY turboed so take off the turbo and what does a sr get? Also its a truck motor. OMFG so they put that motor is a truck big whoop. My ridgeline has a 3.5 in it so does a 350z.My fucking 94 KA altima was runnin in the 13;s and omg its a altima, FWD and a ka24de, well yea and it was still realiable
um my ka when it was stock was 155hp
Thats at the crank though. If you want to talk crank hp my na sr has 200-210
ok fuck it whatever , im throwing my sr in the trash and putting a ka-t in it OK
even bitches know
b e n e f i t x (12:51:45 AM): SR20DET.
b e n e f i t x (12:51:49 AM): What is it?
SwEeTaZsUgR69 (12:51:41 AM): Nissan Sr Engine
b e n e f i t x (12:52:02 AM): you googled it
SwEeTaZsUgR69 (12:53:17 AM): no
b e n e f i t x (12:53:49 AM): do you know what a kat is

Reason #1 why I don't trust GM shit: DEXCOOLWhy do you not trust thier reliability?

info
Sure the SBC has been around forever. It's a fundamentally sound design. I just have a few friends with LS1s that have had a lot of minor issues sprout up on low-mileage cars....things that just should not be happening to "new" cars. Like power steering pumps going out before 40,000mi. Random A/C parts starting to leak refrigerant. Glass windows separating from convertible tops. I know these things aren't really related to the LS1 itself...but it all just makes me want to stay the hell away from anything GM.
Now, if someone offered me an FD powered by either a 13B or a LS1...I'd probably take the LS1! But that's another story entirely.
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.
then i would have to take that Fd off your hands
The reason Dex-cool has ever been an issue was because when you mix standard coolant and dex-cool, it won't cause any issues. If you pay attention and use dex-cool and only dex-cool, I have never seen any issues. I worked at a kauffman tire for 2 years, and and oil change plce for another 2, always doing coolant flushes, never seeing any issues. Thats just a small group of people who had an issue, maybe .001$ of all GM's sold, and found someting to blame it on, thats why GM will never come out and say there was ever an issue. Mixing is the problem, not Dex-cool alone.

Ok if ka24de CAME turboed from the factory like a sr I wonder what the hp was. See sr has a turbo and made for a turbo, ka arnt turbo and arnt made for turboing. So like I said I wonder if it came turboed and made for it what it would put down.
enough with the IF questions.
If your aunt had balls would she be your uncle?

If you let Dex-Cool get low at all (ie air in the system) it will also cause it to turn to mud.
I can see that being a legitimate issue. Kind of like how you have to use ATF in Nissan power steering pumps. But if some dumbass put regular power steering fluid in it years ago, all you gotta do is replace a pump. If someone mixes coolant types in a GM (according to your explanation)....the damage can be much more significant.
some one told me 12As are good
