first off its a KA24 not 20
its actually both american and japanese
the sr20 is the aluminum not the ka the ka is the iron u got it backwards there
its not hard to find a KA motor at all for me
the KA motor is not turbo unless this is considered KA-T versus SR
i would think the KA is pretty popular alot of people i know like it
i think thats it...

But the downfall to the KA(for me) is that all the ones you can find have very high mileage on them plus the KA is mostly made for a truck not for a 240 plus if your planning to go bigger on horsepower the internal are better on the SR than on the KA there is a lot more torque on the KA but the KA doesnt have as much opportunity as the SR(thats the way I feel) BUt they are very good motors I would rather just save up and buy an RB. Also shouldnt this thread be in a "Motor Swaps Topic" it doesnt matter to me just thought i would add my opinions.

Yeah, a little truck engine in a small car. Gotta love it, full of torque. Once you turbo that sucker there's no tomorrow. I'm a KA fan personally. It has quite a bit of bang for a 4-cyclinder. I'll prob save up to turbo it myself.

see wut i mean by the KA being popular?
both motors are popular so u cant really say the KA is unpopular

personally I"d go KA+T, cause for one alots of parts for it to find in junkyards and whatnot, and easier on smog checks and whatnot, plus i like the nice sound of the engine as it picks up speed, and really good torque indeed, definitly for those times you need it on the freeway (Dam LA traffic)
