Why does this sound like a 7M vs 1JZ discussion :)

The SR would be a better engine to put into the car, but would it be a better engine to put into the car for him? A turbo RWD car in the hands of a 16 year old may not be the best idea. I would suggest you leave the KA in there until he's learned to handle the thing, then if he wants more power, you can teach him how to swap an engine.
i agree i had 4 240s and they are pretty peppy with the ka but that sr is alot to handle being 16 ........they are monsters

a stock sr turbo is hardly a monster

Heh, I have a friend of a friend that just finished swapping the SR20 into his 240, and the thing is slower then it was with the KA. Although, the two of them that put it in aren't the smartest mechanics in the world, I'm sure something's screwed up.


Anyways, to the OP, you said that the SR20 you got wasn't turbocharged either? I wonder if it would be worth putting into the 240. If it's anything like the 2JZ-GE vs -GTE, the SR20 N/A may not be that strong of an engine to turbocharge. If that were the case, you my be better off putting the KA back in there and selling the SR.

Does anybody know if NA SR blocks are as strong as Turbo ones?

They can put out some very good power... But standard arent that impressive.
my mate has one in his drift car, forged internals, mild cams, gt2871r etc, hes making around 260kw@w on fairly low boost and with a low revlimit.
