I dunno. . like he said, not interested in having a turbo and a bunch of power.. so with that being said, I think the SR20DE is an awesome choice. . I much prefer the drivability of that engine compared to the KA... I don't have fun with my engine over 5k RPM. . Also, if you want to turbo it later... you can slap the turbo parts on it from a Silvia... a friend did this for his Sentra (parts were from a U13 Bluebird) and made his stock SR20DE a DET. . However, it's not truly an SR20DET... but for around 1000 - 2000 bucks, you can have turbo...

First if your only revving up to 5k rpm's then the KA is btter because it has a lower more usable powerband. Now like most n/a engines with a turbo version the n/a sr20de has higher compression pistons then it's turbo counter part, not to mention other &quot;little things&quot; that i'm sure i'm missing so it's not as simple as &quot;adding&quot; a turbo. As for your friend with the sentra, he might have added the turbo parts but he can't boost as high as a regular sr20det because he has the n/a high compression pistons.
