Ok, but remember the SR engine is 10+ years old here vs a brand spankin new engine! what kinda performance degregation should I be expecting... Like is it really gonna put much close to that original 205 hp and torque still <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Well.  I'd imagine so, if the shop (unstable-hybrids) dyno tests and compression tests and then gives a warranty on the engine (they promis it works well, or they get u a diff engine.)  Besides, from what I hear, over in Japan, the street-worthy tests are so grueling that the car owners just toss the cars and buy an new one in a couple years.  So... this leads to 90% of imported engines with less than 40k miles.
Finally, you cant put a "stock" sr motor into a 240sx.  You NEED a larger exhaust, a bigger fuel pump, ect.
Therefore, if you get the 203hp, then when it gets in your car, won't it be like 210 at LEAST?!?
