lets compare scenarios:
Build A:
build the sr20 bottom end. spend a few weeks getting machine work done. ordering parts. praying that everything is done right. not knowing or having knowledge of what is actually inside your engine or what the machine shop guys actually did to it or didnt do to it. All you know is they hand you a bill and you pay it and there is no warranty.
Build B:
Stick an OEM engine in the car with a reasonable turbo and a real fuel system and be driving a 500 horsepower car within a week, knowing full well that the factory assembled it and everything is as tight and clearanced the way it should be.
hmmmm tough choice!!!!
Oh god, the most important part. You are also driving an OEM engine with an extra 1 Liter of displacement, so naturally that improves everything about the response of the engine. You can throw all the fancy parts you want at an SR20- but you cant get an extra 1 liter out of it. there is no replacement for... well you know.
oh, but im crazy. everything i say is pure bull$#!T.
