I'll go one better: the decision involved in putting an SR into what didn't' come with one.
Japanese and European buyers purchase a Silvia, 180sx, or 200SX with an SR installed by Nissan.
A 240 owner in the United States is buying a used 240SX and spending money to put an SR in.
Given that the choices for a Japanese/European buyer are either to buy an S-chassis with an SR(turbo or not) in it or no S-chassis at all, you can see why THEY do it (And some yank the SR, too).
Here, however, you buy the chassis, THEN decide which engine you want. To buy an SR is to NOT spend the money else where (especially, as mentioned, on used components likely to break down anyways).
Even in engine alone, there are options such as built KA, RB, V8, VQ, VG (why?), etc. This is not to say SR is necessarily better or worse, but given that you have much more pressing needs...I interpret the choice to buy an SR as the choice to give into hype or showmanship or false "cred".
If you can't read: SR first is stupid and impractical. You aren't going any faster except in your head.
All of which isn't to say you can't do it- just be honest with yourself about what your choices are.
