As the OP was asking about stock motors, I would say there are a couple of major reasons the S14/S15 motorsets are better than S13 motor sets:
- Better flowing head and intake manifold - Sure you can build a S13 for the same numbers as a S14/S15 motor but at what cost? Why not start out with something that is great rather than something that is 'OK'
- Better lubrication system - Nissan revised almost the entire lubrication system on the notchtop, there's a reason why they updated it on their more powerful motorsets.
- Age - Even at the latest production dates the S15 motorset is 5 years NEWER than a 1998 S13 blacktop, if you're keeping it stock inside why wouldnt you want a newer motor?
What it all boils down to is cost, people seem to think we'll they are both SR20s and they can both make 400whp on stock internals so I'll just go with the cheaper motorset. How and when they make that 400whp is very different from eachother, save pennies just to spend a dollar.
It's common to see people just shooting for peak power these days with little care for how everything plays together to create a nice graph on a dyno, I guess it's just too complicated for some.
