Hi,

I have a 91 hb and am very happy with the reliability of the engine. In more than a year I didn't have ANY problems.

I have a question related to the SR20DET engine. I hear everybody talking about it and comparing it to turbo-ing the KA. I am not gonna go there. My question relates to the reliability of the SR in its stock form. Say, I buy the engine from some trusted vendor and correctly put it in the car. If I don;t do anything stupid, how reliable is the engine?

The second question is related to the first. If anything breaks, where will I find a replacement? How expensive? How long does it take?

I am just looking for some opinions from guys who experienced the SR first hand or have reliable information.

If this was discussed before, please direct me to the thread. I searched and couldn't find.

thanks
