Go to heavythrottle.com then jdm engine faq

And do a search before posting.

all depends on which blacktop you're talking about... all of the SR's have the same basic bottom end. red and blacktop S13 engines are basically the same other than what you mentioned. S14/15 blacktops got a variable timing setup, slightly different head design, and of course the larger turbos.

but i am going to have to agree with your original statement... the "i only know hondas" line is the biggest load of crap on earth. people could rattle on for weeks about which swaps you can do and how you can do them, which are better for which reasons, argue back and forth SR vs. RB vs. KA-T vs. 350 and you'd still not know what the hell you're doing. ALWAYS do your research first, then ask specific questions. otherwise you can't complain about being treated like a noob, because it's obvious you are one .
