I know its off topic but if you wanna fly for 20 bucks, contact this man and buy one of 88 jetpacks.

I dunno if its bullshit or not, but it don't look safe. Also he seems to have his weight load a little off, first he says 200lbs, then 250lbs.

Loren · 07-13-2002, 04:56 PM

i think its 20$ for plans + 5$ shipping and handling

oh yeah, airplanes constantly have maintenance to keep them in tip top shape, and after a certain amount of hours, no matter the condition of an engine, it is removed. all this fuss is because if an engine breaks down in flight.. well the results aren't good.. whos governing maintenance and quality control over that?

Im pretty sure im too weak to hold that up. It also looks a little frosty to be trying that out... i would be scared things would freeze up.

Why would you ask Nissan NA about an engine that is not sold in America, they will be rooting for the one in NA. Also the swap is illegal so thats another reason they will say that the KA is better. Its all an opinion on which is better. If I was looking for a 300HP for s certain price, I am sure one might be better than the other, but if  I wanted 300HP with a smaller turbo maybe the other would be a better choice. Everyoen is entitled to thier own opinion.

KiDyNomiTe, I'm sure that you realise that it was photoshopped, but some of these other characters I'm not so sure about! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

Loren · 07-13-2002, 07:34 PM

there are gonna be some things the SR has better than the KA and some things the KA has better than the SR. The KA has more displacement, point for KA. The SR makes more power from the factory, point SR (of course I mean the SR20DET)... do you see what I mean? Nissan NA couldn't be biased about the questions I was trying to obtain, because they are hard facts. Like what size valves, combustion chambers, intake and exhaust runner size and flow, etc. Too see which engine had the better head.. other things that would make the SR or KA better, would be how much money it takes to get to Xhp, it might be cheaper to do it with a KA-T sometimes, it might be cheaper with a SR in other cases. My personal GUESS is that the SR has a better head than the KA because chris may made 200hp at 7psi on a non intercooled "turbo" yes its not intercooled, and it doesn't specify the turbo, my GUESS is a T25 like a S13 SR, anyways, it looks like its close, but my GUESS would be that the SR has a better head, thats based mostly on speculation. But a non intercooled KA with .4 more liters made the same power as a SR with intercooler makes stock.. either way its probably close

Indeed it is a horrible photoshop job, that's why I almost didn't post anything on it, but I didn't really sense any sarcasm in the tone of what people wrote.
