Would you.. turbo KA or SR20?

[SR240DET]

ok first.. dont get one or the other because its bandwagon bullshit.... its about personal preference, knowledge, and best bang for the buck depending on your goal....

for example... i chose the ka turbo because one... parts are cheaper for me... i know my away around the ka better than the sr (tear it apart and put it back together withouth looking at the FSM)

my goal with this engine is just a autocross/dail driver... t28 is a perfect match for what i do....

the engines are both similar as far as performance... in the end... your going to have to decide what route will better suit your needs...

check out this forum and ka-t.org.... so you can figure out

wow and here i was thinking i wouldnt agree with anyone in this thread but you hit the nail on the head. its not about the bandwagon garbage its about what your familiar or comfortable with. i went SR in my 240 for the simple fact my SOHC KA was blown and hunting down a good KA was a waste of time. also the price of parts and custom doing everything adds up and cost almost more time then money. i wasnt ready to shell out crackhead amounts for used parts to peice together a turbo kit nor was i ready for months of downtime. then have to pay to get it tuned. so SR was right up my ally. Direct bolt in swap with aftermarket that IMO is far superior then the KA which parts are proven to work. another key reason is the overall weight difference. SR swapped 240's have a very close weight distrubtion from front to back. somewhere around 51/49 which is important in most types of racing i/e road racing which i plan on doing. and finally the biggest reason was that i wanted a motor i could put down 300-350whp daily without having to open the block and worrying if my rods are having a bad day and decide to take out a cylinder wall
