s13 sr20 vs s15 sr20
What would yall recommend to go into a sohc 240sx. the s13 or s15. I know the s15 has a bigger turbo and a 6 speed rather than a 5. Is the bigger turbo the only thing that gives its extra hp. I was wonder about the gearing difference also between the 6 speed and 5 speed. Which would be more ideal for racing and why? Also is does the black top have more power than the red top motor?

To find out the numbers, search.
As for the other questions, the gearing in the 6 speed is much shorter then the 5 spd...but I'm used to short gears(Miata has some short gears). Also, the 6 speed doesnt take as much power as the 5 spd because the weaker internals(from what I know)
As for which one is better...that is a argument that can go on for weeks. Some people say the S13, some people say the S15. I would go with the S13 and with the money saved...mod the hell out of it.
