SR20DET VS KA24DET which is better and why?

[RL...]

Like the title says which is better and why? Pros and cons?

[NaNissan]

I take it this is going in a 240 correct and the sr20det is stock.
1 sr20vet is best of all
2 ka24det is better because it came in the car boost it until it blows power comes on quick if you build it then you can have a monster.
3 sr20det is a waste of time until you open it up and then your better off going with a VE T setup. My allmotor Ve will walk away from this thing.

Sorry didnt answer your ?
1 The head design on the VE is far superior to the DE it outflows it in every way and it has valve timing you will see a 50 to 75hp power difference on the same amount of boost pressure.
2 Why spend 1200 on a whatever top red or black when you can just turbo the ka stock for stock the ka-t is going to be faster the power comes on early with way more tq than the sr.
3 I just explained why.
Hope it helps

True, but I heard a couple of SR's will pull a premium a week before import face off.

KA

Pros:
Displacement
Better designed head
400whp on stock rods, crank
Offer nistune, safc, cheaper motor, lots of torque.
Cons:
Shitty stock head gasket
shitty pistons
shitty intake manifold
not factory turbo'd


SR20det-
Pros:
Factory Turbo
Decent Power
Cheap tuning Safc, or nistune,power fc etc
Cost around same as KA-T
Make 350 whp with minor mods (turbo,hg,headstuds,rockers,tuning etc)

Cons:
Shitty head design (rockers shoot out)
VERY abused usually
Shitty Headgasket
Shitty design oil pan (minor dent and its a wrap)
Parts can be harder to get ahold of

These are off the top of my head, and from experience.

[Ninjaboi]

depends on where you start, and purpose of the car.
If you start with a shell doesn't matter which motor
If you start with a ka de and its a cost issue turboing the ka is chea
