Turbo kit, SR, all the same effect. Both the KA-T and the SR20DET (Unless you are talking RB20DET) are essentially the same as regards capability but they have very distinct characteristics which can't be discerned by just how much HP or torque each puts down. I'd ride in a car that is KA-T and then one that is SR (in that order) and decide what you want from there. No doubt some people are going to come in an praise the KA's torque over the SR and that's fine but realize you'll never be making any real torque with a 4 cylinder motor. Welcome to NICO. Screw the WRX. 240's are way funner, cheaper, and lots easier to work on.Borntohula330 wrote:

So fun it deserves its own word!redtop91 wrote: 240's are way funner, cheaper, and lots easier to work on.
I actually disagree with that, I spend as much, if not more time working on Subarus than Nissans, I enjoy working on them because they are very well thought out, most things are meant to be removed quickly and easily to facilitate easier service between stages at rally events. Them guys were thinking when they put those cars together. Nissans and Hondas are a close second though.redtop91 wrote:Screw the WRX. 240's are lots easier to work on.
