So what made you choose CA/SR/RB/LS/JZ/ETC.

[KAT-PWR]

KA-T
Because I like AC
And easily swapping a motor if it blows

EDIT: chose over sr because
More displacement
Iron block
Better head design IMO (where's my rocker?)
Availability of motors
Factory harness
Plug and play AC
More power with same set up
Faster spool
Pop a motor can swap overnight and be running the next day

Good points! I will not be enjoying A/C.

Pretty much sums up why I initially went KA-T back in 06. My A/C to this day blows cold as ice.

I was contemplating doing the s14 kouki SR swap, but back then were an upwards of 4-5k for a measly 200hp.

Interesting so far. You people with KA-T's and cold a/c make me jealous lol. My a/c barlely works and it's stock.

And yes pics are fine.

Is your engine built or stock? Edit I saw you said semi built. Rods and Pistons?
Ga shoutout.

stock rods at 400whp?!

KA didnt have the power I wanted. Sr20 was fun, but I dont have access to a good tuner to tune an engine to a reliable level for the power levels I wanted.

Swapped in a 1UZ for about 3grand, which is about what it costs for a SR20 swapped in. I was able to learn a lot while doing it and at 250hp/260tq I don't have to worry about upgrading turbos and what not. Helps that if I do want to add boost, the motors have been run at mid 500hp with just headstuds and a headgasket.
