Post by **scruffy63** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

As we all know the sr20det is better than the ka24de unless you go ka24de-t. thats when the battle really starts. but what if there was a sr20de. who would be faster.

SR20DE(non turbo) vs. KA24de both stock.

Post by **scruffy63** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

anybody have an answer????

Post by **GEO** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

I got with the KA.

Post by **scruffy63** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

any real reason why

Post by **Kaioshin1982** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

torque

Post by **scruffy63** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

so basically all around the ka is a better engine?

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

The SR can hold boost better and is higher revving and has a more stable top end...N/A the KA is the better engine though.

Post by **SeVa-S13** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

Built KA will pwn SR. :pface But then again, you won't be cool without a ph4t SR, y0. :rolleyes

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

We're talkin stock for stock here son.

And have the VABeach pricks been buggin you about the SR again;)

Post by **Rockenreno** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

stock vs. stock the KA24DE is much better than the SR20DE.

Post by **prigo** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

^ I think I wanna build up my KA, but im torn between the two

Post by **shane bigler** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

If you can....do it!

Post by **shane bigler** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

I just wanna say that Va Beach sucks ***. No offense but I lived there and people really have their heads up their asses there. Thats why they hate on the SR20. Va beach is a place where you can get a ticket for cursing. A place where you can get a public intoxication ticket if you are drunk in your house and someone sees you b/c your curtains are open.

Why I liked the SR idea better?

My car had 200,000 miles on it. Parts were getting very old. For my 2200, my SR came with all accessories and the transmission. With 30-60K on them.

What does my 2200 get me if I go KA-T? Nothing, unless I build it myself. What does my 3000 plus get me if I go KA-T? An engine/transmission/accessories with at least 100K (200 in my case), and a turbo that can put out over 300HP but I will only get to use 7-10 pounds of it.

Yeah, I think I like the SR idea better.

Post by **dr!ft** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

Well, with no turbo, the SR only has 2.0l of displacement whereas the KA has 2.4l. Hence the SR*20*DE and KA*24*DE...

Post by **shane bigler** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

I agree with Buudweizurr. My sr20 and transmission only has 42000 miles on it. My KA has 136000. If I had the resources and the garage I could see building the KA. But it would have to be totally rebuilt, including the transmission.

Post by **drifter_for_life06** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

SR all the way, but if i ahd the money i wouldnt rebuild either of them, id get an RB26! : )

Post by **auto180sx** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

the sr20de came in the b13 sentra. a friend of mine and i raced eachother, in his sr20de b13, and he didnt whore me or anything... just got me by about a car length. but his cars also lighter and had a manual were as i have a auto. and this was stock vs stock

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

ahh yes the B13 is lighter than our cars...and FF meaning less drivetrain loss, but less traction off the line.

Post by **Altiman94** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

I would love to have an n/a sr in my 240. I personally think that the sr20de should have been the engine put in the 240. It is a much higher revving engine and just feels much stronger than my ka24e in my 89 hatch. I drove a 92 NX2000 and that car was damn quick for being stock. I would rather have a higher revving engine in a small car like the 240sx. Just my $.02

Post by **jdmfreak** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

I never thought of that.

Post by **WingsNThangs** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

I'd like to try out an SR20DE engine in manual. My sister has a 99 G20 auto and that thing is quite sluggish in acceleration. If I control the gears, it would probably feel pretty beefy. It also gets better gas mileage, but then again its FF and 9 years younger than my 240.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

I've driven a 95 200sx se-r 5 speed and although it was a good car I like my ka24e better as far as power goes. The 200sx had 82k miles on it.

Post by **drifter_for_life06** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

i just flat out dont like the 200sx.

Post by **240marcuSX** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

last time i checked the sentra Spec-V has a SR20DE with 175 hp at the crank. while the KA24DE has 155. seeing as how the sentra is FWD, it probably has less drivetrain loss putting more power to the ground. stock for stock, the SRDE is "faster". while "better" is in the eye of the beholder;)

KA all the way though <--- big fan

Post by **drifter_for_life06** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

that is very true, but still i jsut dont like the sentra

Post by **Cyberkreig** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

Stanza > Sentra

Post by **drifter_for_life06** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

agreed

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:40 am

Last I checked the sentra Spec V has a 2.5 liter engine that made 175 hp. 2.5>2.0 so how is that an sr20? The old sr20 powered cars were 140hp and 133lbs./ft torque. The best they got was the 2001 sentra se w/145hp and 136 lbs./ft torque. :batman

Here's some info....SpecV uses QR25DE.1999 G20 uses the 140hp SR, 2000-02 G20 uses the 145hp SR
