what is the diff between sr20det and kat????

I wasn't trying to start an argument. I just get tired of ppl always boasting torque torque torque because its a KA KA KA. What are we comparing a KA to a Honda motor here? Either motor rocks, I'm just tired of the nonsense. If one more ignorant person calls the KA just a "truck" motor there gonna get it too. Sometimes I just get irritated.

hyjnx, you're a jerk.
Most Nissan motors are great, RB SR or KA. People say ka's a truck engine, I say that means she's got a plethera or torque, and an iron block, so chew on that.
I own a CRX and so far I like my si 1.6L engine, although she's already blown a head gasket. Honda engine's are generally pretty damn good as well. Much like 240's, they got the badass engine's in Japon!

lol, sil, now you're being a jerk.
just like all religions are now considered all equal paths to god, Nissan engines are all equal paths to success, sr or KA
if you're on a tight budget look into a CA! I think I said that ealier, but it's cheaper, and a good little engine, better gas mileage as well than your KA

I won't get pissed at you sil for that whole truck motor thing. You seem pretty cool. Santiago on the other hand is not.
Hahahahahaaaa............J/P kiddd.
And I wasn't debating whether or not the KA was a truck motor, because I know obviously what models Nissan put the KA into. But I was saying that ppl who right away dismiss it as crap because it was in a truck, are a bunch of chooches.

btw, something that's really funny to me is that i've seen a few people putting SR's into Hardbody pickups, too. guess that makes them truck motors as well...

BOTH make great power
BOTH are great engines
BOTH have their advantages and disadvantages
but if you are shooting for just 220...i would say KA.

if your gona go junkyard style you should look into the buick gsx or somthing like that I dont actually know what the car was called but if you can find one of those in a junk yard they used a garret turbo and had a fatty front mount intercooler those would be good scrap parts if your on a budget

I researched this question extensively. It'll end up costing more to get a KA ready for that kind of power than to get a SR. It also requires a ton moretime and skill to rebuild an engine piece by piece than to buy a complete engine a put it in your car. The time it takes you to find all the pieces you need for the KA, you could save a few bucks and by the SR.

sorry to jump in but the ka was in a truck yes, but it was also in a 240sx was it not, which means its also a 240sx moter so who cares i have the ka but hell ya if i had the money i would get the sr so fast but come on who would pick a ka over an sr???????
