the only advantage of going would an N/A sr20DE would be if you found a good engine out of a s14Q's. these engines are variable valve timing and put out about the same peak HP as a red top SR20DET. only problem is, finding one of these ngines, it'll cost just as much or more than that red top sr20det, make less torque, and tuning isnt as simple, as with the red top sr20det its just a matter of turning up the boost until you need a new turbo and intercooler. taking an SR20DE into the 300hp range without going to turbo would be extremely difficult, let alone trying to keep it streetable. really any ways you look at it, if you're going to swap go with the SR, or even the CA, before you get an N/A sr20DE. having an N/A sr20DE would just be like having a torquier honda VTEC motor, which is just...not as cool as having a nissan turbo monster.
