As I read the article on "The race to 750" it hit me. The japanese cars are built differently in comparison to the american car. American cars typically get built for naturally aspirated power. Some end up using forced induction to get even more power. Japanese also look for power BUT go straight for forced induction, then weight reduction. I just realized this reading the article, and further backed by a co-worker pointing out "that he had thought just like me why not the the truck engine KA24 over the sr20." The KA is more beefy bottom end than the sr. 2.4 vs 2.0??? Come on if it were just 2 american engines to biuld 2.4 right? The KA has to be treated as a Domestic!!! There are hardly any parts for it because we need small blocks that cant get bored out too much cause there ISNT any room. I have been debating this for a long time and made my decision. My speech: After months of deliberating with myself aswell as input from other sources, I have decided that the block that will be the basis of my project...wil be.....................THE KA4DE!!!! First and foremost I would like to thank mary jane. You have helped me through many a night trying to figure this out. Second I would like to say that I will do what it takes to build the bottom end to the point that it and the hulk will thier "Hulk Vs. KA24de" comic. And last I would like to tell you all that I will try my best to post up pictures as the project goes. Thank you....Thank you all!!!

350Z & 370Z both have engines that are built for N/A power. The entire Honda community is built for N/A power.

The usual rule of thumb (but not always) for imports is Cast Iron block means Boost and Aluminum Block is N/A power.

Example #1 - SR20's with aluminum blocks

This whole thread is series of massive generalizations that make very little sense once you start dissecting them.

Don't smoke and post.

Right, what I said wasn't definite but like I said, it was a rule of thumb.SRs and 4G engines are the excepting but I can't name another one that doesn't apply to this rule.
