ka24det vs sr20det for drifting???

[j u ice]

o.k. whitch is bettr suted and colde handal hi revs beter.

[gaehrings13]

Both are pretty good, I think you should search a little more. Ive seen nice video's with the ka.

[partymonster 975]

There both good but I'd pick the SR. Thats just me.

[adrianfromthecastle]

not another ka vs. sr thread

you need to do some research... theyre both great motors, neither one will help you drift better (unless its an n/a vs f/i)... get a ca... they rev higher

[boznuttz]

How high an engine can rev doesn't have too much to deal with in how better you might be able to drift.

With an SR T25 on a KA, you can break the rear end loose and hardly get on throttle.

Roflmao @ this thread.

[adrianfromthecastle]

in all honesty, you want a high revving motor, get a ca18 or f22.. both can go over 8k easily... one of them has a turbo, the other with vtak

I'vd done research but i cant get the info i want I would like to know which engine can handle drifitng better the KAT or the SR20?? As for the revs i heard that the higher ones can help u drift longer but the KAT engines arent commonly used in drifting.. is it cuz they have lower rev's then the SR20? Im not trying to find out which engine can give you the most horse power or which one is most popular im just asking drifiting wise.

why not use both? one in the front and one in back. i would use the ka in the back because of the better torque so you can have the sr for the top end in the front. or you could do a side by side to be as much like a v8 as possible.

Drifting longer/shorter depends on the driver's skills.

and the diff, tire size, wheel size, suspension set-up, and amount of rwhp

[idrum2loud]

Why do you need revs?

I choose you KA-T cuz it has awesome tourqe, and tourqe is what you need for drifting. SR and CA feel lame until u get in the uper RPM's, CA is even worse, its like a 4AG with a turbo on it, and they make no power till like 5000k

KA ftw, its what was in the car from factory, all the parts u could want, it has tourqe, sounds awesome, and the ladies love the KA as well.

[Florida240sx]

Up in Nopi the ka-t had no problem drifting. The sr20's didn't have trouble either but were bouncing off the limiter nonstop. All about your stlye and feel

[j u ice]

so the kat can handal drifting o.k. and i know all that suspntion sh@!# so howe did thay rank at nope ..

Please search on this topic. Only reason why I haven't locked this thread yet is cause everyone is very civilized and no flaming has been going on.

This is a thread dedicated to peoples KA-T experiences with different set ups.

We are nice people most of the time!

Theres one issue thats been overlooked, and thats weight distribution. The SR weighs less than the KA and that puts your car closer to 50/50 which is what the pros go for when drifting. However if your not a pro, you probably wouldnt notice this at all. I can tell you i have a SR powerd s13 and drifting is still tricky ^^.

However, these guys are right about the SR and the CA having no low end to speak of. Also, they simply cant produce the torque that a KA can. When you drift you really need to focus on your steering/counter steer, and not so much on the rev's. I would think that low end torque would be really nice when your trying to put your car into a slide, and keep it in one.

Also, the KA-T guys/forum are a cut above

moral of the story... get an LSx swap

[scotttak]

be original. swap in a geo metro engine.

So i guess It's about 50/50 balance... more than torque? if so, then rx-8 would be kickin ***... but thats neither here... nor there hahahah

Anyways, i choose kat

[S13FX]

Way to resurrect this thread hehe,

Either way if you chose KA-T where are the PICS?

You have 10 Minutes for me to see a thread by you stating.

PICS OF MY KA-T

[Young_240_Guht]

Mine is in the works

I edited the post, the pic was to big and effected the flow of the entire thread. Please resize then repost thanks, WD

Mmm..... virgin......

[S3t0_S13]

holy dead thread

[WDRacing]

I don't drift, but I know the principles involved. Rpms aren't required for drifting, long or short. There are guys using diesels on the circuit now. They don't rev past 4000...

What you need is a car with the proper suspension geometry matched to the SR or KA since they both way different amounts. Enough power to break the tires lose and keeping the motor inside the power band all comes with skill.

The answer is simple, there is no better motor because both require basically the same modifications to reach 8000 rpm. So if high rpms are what you desire, then do valve train work to either motor and you'll attain your goal.

[adrianfromthecastle]

one word.

Brake Check.

or is that two?

LOL... it only takes a break check in tandem to knock a person out of boost range...

moral of the story... LS1 swap

my wife will agree! she has drove my pos in n/a sohc and dohc and turbo piggy style, she didnt even hit 1psi of boost before she , she now has a slight clue as to why....

anyways op lcuky I'm busy

You should start with a 30cc weed eater engine, than move up to the 5 hp Briggs & Stratton.
