i would say the ka because of bigger displacement but alot of people just dump ka's and get the ca just because they like em. if your looking for more power i would just say boost the ka. but if your just looking for a dd moter and want to have something different go with the ca i guess.

well ka's can only hold like 250 hp on stock internals and the tranny cant hold more than like 250 either. but you could get the stock sidemount and piping from the sr and the t25 and run like 7 pounds until you can afford to get internals so you can rebuild and run more boost and a bigger turbo. oh yea and youve got to rebuild the tranny too. the ka is pretty expensive if you want to start making real power cause you have to rebuild first.
