I really just wanted to see what a poll was so please don't be annoyed by probably the most asked question on here.

There's a whole section for this man.
Expect the flames to be coming shortly from others.

I said the SR, but Im really starting to wish I had a dohc low mileage KA to start workin on in the garage (assuming I had room and extra money). Although I do love the CA

240sxtreme · 07-12-2002, 06:18 PM

eh...I think as long as it doesn't become a SR vs. KA vs. CA thread...if everyone just states what they would rather have and why...without just stating "cause it's better!"...I don't see why this would turn into a flame war.

for me...I said KA-T...but I'll probably just stay NA and create a high compression (well, streetable high compression) NA. I'm pretty much there, just need cams, cam gears, piston and rods.

Sorry my choice isn't up there, but i choose RB20DET b/c i don't have the most steady foot, and the RB is such a smooth accelerator, it won't jerk like the KA does for me!  It can easily be fixed w/ lots of practice but i still want the RB!

Ka+T...

Only becuz u already got the engine, and dont need a swap, and higher potential.

Careful what you say now, dont want to start a war.... I say they all have equal potential with the right amount of money  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

voted KAt
1) the ka is epa tested (though in some areas the aftermarket turbo would make it illegal anyway)
2) there truly is no "replacement for displacement"
3) everybody and his mom has an sr20
4) a well built kat tends to show the owner's / tuner's skills (or $&#036<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> rather than nissan's which already relatively proven
5) a blown KA is dirt cheap and a great place to start
