RB20 = POS
SR20 = "B16"
RB26 FTW!
SR20 = "B16"
RB26 FTW!

I think Levi summed it up about correct.
But IMO RB20 is kind pointless its 2.0 litre which is the same displacement as a SR but it weights more. It might be stronger internally than a SR(?)but if you're gonna build the motor FTW
SR20>RB20

this is the age old argument but the bottom line is: its you're car do what the fu ck you want to it. If you got the loot do a whacky engine swap if you dont w/e and likewise if you wanna turbo or build your KA go for it.
CA KA SR RB LS1 whatever
CA KA SR RB LS1 whatever

SR20 is cheaper and there are a few more parts.
KA is whatever.
