ease? more capable than a ka in stock trim? Iono I'm not defending it, I own an rb20, I lost displacement over my ka, but its more fun and unique. Try pushing 325+ on a stock block ka and a stock block sr. see which lasts longer.

Is there a point to this thread? Or just ranting over the SR? Who cares, do your thing and let others do theres. dont bash because you're losing size, that just makes you seem ignorant.

its 400cc's btw.

can i get an IBTL?

Edit: Oh, I see you're new. That makes more sense....

dude... leave the kid alone ignorance is bliss. by his logic the rb25 isnt even worth it. so it has two extra cylinders so wht its the same size as a ka lol

Well shyt the OP will need at least an rb30 or vg30 if he ever wants to be happy.

Given that the OP drives a 350, he'll need something bigger than what Nissan offered in the '90s if we go by his logic.

Locking this down for obvious reasons.

BTW, the point of going with an SR is ease of aftermarket support. Also, the KA has its own limitations as well. Just like any other motor. We all drive nissans, so there's no reason to step up and start blasting a motor just because you felt the need to go a different route.
