there are gonna be some things the SR has better than the KA and some things the KA has better than the SR. The KA has more displacement, point for KA. The SR makes more power from the factory, point SR (of course I mean the SR20DET)... do you see what I mean? Nissan NA couldn't be biased about the questions I was trying to obtain, because they are hard facts. Like what size valves, combustion chambers, intake and exhaust runner size and flow, etc. Too see which engine had the better head.. other things that would make the SR or KA better, would be how much money it takes to get to Xhp, it might be cheaper to do it with a KA-T sometimes, it might be cheaper with a SR in other cases. My personal GUESS is that the SR has a better head than the KA because chris may made 200hp at 7psi on a non intercooled "turbo" yes its not intercooled, and it doesn't specify the turbo, my GUESS is a T25 like a S13 SR, anyways, it looks like its close, but my GUESS would be that the SR has a better head, thats based mostly on speculation. But a non intercooled KA with .4 more liters made the same power as a SR with intercooler makes stock.. either way its probably close
