sr20det or ka24de

KA24DET's suck balls, you REALLY dont want one.

This must be by far the stupidest post I ever read. Not because of what he said but if you check out his cardomain site, the last page he wrote that he is rebuilding the KA24 Engine. Can you say :withstup

[SeVa-S13]

Yes, I can. :withstup

Hey, im going with the KA24DE and I will be running the turbo in it. Like tonynalli said it cant handle that much boost. The only way to fix that is is the put forged pisotns and rods and more forged stuff so you can turn up the booooost. I would go with the KA, I haver heard of it being a lot easier to maka a KA with 600hp than an SR with 500hp

Who says the KA's can't handle boost? Usually its just shoddy tuning that blows them up. Predetonation is the real killer. SEARCH and you will see some high hp STOCK BLOCK KA's. Kthx.

No, but I can say that he doesn't want people jumping on the KA-T bandwagon. Nor do I.

[240SXedUp]

Seriously. Someone delete this thread.

[s13inutah]

So what is it that makes the SR20 capable of more boost than the ka24; dose it come forged internals stock, or something?

[240Knightrider]

Just let us have our nice debat. Why would you not like people jumping on the the KA-T bandwagon. I just want to make sure I fully understand what you are saying with that because it can be taken two ways.

[s13inutah]

well i wanna know how to build a ka24 so it can boost as high as an SR20

[240Knightrider]

I gotta work on my spelling. I dont know as much about the sr20's as I do about the KA24, but I just know the built the sr20s to handle the boost of a turbo. Im just trying to prove that the KA24 engine is just as good as the SR, just takes a little more effort at first to equal horsepower.

[240Knightrider]

im going to be working on mine starting in may hopefully. just buy as much forged stuff for the KA24 as you can and go from there. Update the fuel system and the other obviouse stuff.

[SeVa-S13]

Well if you guys are seriously interested in learning more, check out the engines' respective forums and do some extensive searching and reading. No one can really say that engine A is better than engine B, it's pretty much personal circumstance and preference.

Good luck.

[s13inutah]

right now i'm dealing with the same debate for my 240 i want the big bore of the ka24 with the boost handling capabilities of the SR20. a huge all moter car will really scream if you add some forced induction but I don't want to severly dement someting if the isn't built to take all that boost

[240Knightrider]

wow. Its amazing how a debate like this can make people agree on at least 1 thing. I agree you cant say engine A is better than B. They both have good points and bad points. They need to combine those engines somehow. (just a thought)Before I run the turbo, I will defiantly have to run better internals in the KA24DE, which does suck. The sr20 already coming with it makes it a lot easier.

And those are just a few. Have fun

[240Knightrider]

we knew about those, thanks for the post though. (just in case we didnt)

[Dattebayo]

great. just what we need, ANOTHER sr vs. ka thread. sheesh...

[240Knightrider]

So what, why do you care

[BoyWonder]

[quote=" Nathan[sarcasm]KA24DET's suck balls, you REALLY dont want one.[/sarcasm][/quote] The fact he is rebuilding one didn't give this away?

Just get an SR. You know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it, so it must be the cool thing to do, right?

On a more serious note, an SR would most likely take a little less time and cost a little less to get to the same point on a KA-T setup. As was mentioned before, a KA can handle boost, but only so much for so long. Also, as mentioned before as well, many are higher mileage and abused, so a rebuild to some extent is required. So you have to factor in the rebuild cost, as well as the turbo kit cost.On the other hand, SRs aren't always in the best of condition when they get here, either. There is no one holy grail of engines that is an end-all-arguments choice. Let's just accept this fact, research, and move on to picking whatever it is we find to be best suited to what we want.

Oh, and the RB is better

Please, dont try to prove something you really dont know anything about. It just adds to the confusion.

You should know that your not getting much for valuable information in this thread, so assume everyone is just talking out of their *** and likely being very sarcastic. Your not going to find much info because those who know anything about it, know that it takes some time and effort to do either, and you obviously dont have time or effort to put into a search, therefor your likely not going to go through it anyhow.

Stick around for a few months and get some 'liter'ature from your local library to speed things up.

[Silent Drifter]

delete this thread please...

Its not meant in a bad way (towards you).

[StrangeLove]

It seems like an SR20 would cost an assload more compared to a KA-T...

Anyway delete this thread

+1

[SeVa-S13]

Yes. Infact, delete all threads containing any and all useful information and/or helpful, truthful debates. You see, I too am an elitist, hypocritical prick. kthx.

[Dattebayo]

I agree, and yes i do care because there are at least 15 threads with a similar title and subject matter all across the boards. Be original and think of using the damn search button instead of cluttering this space up with useless atagonism and pointless debate.

[NV_JSmith]

Plain and simple, an SR will outshine a KA stock block vs. stock block. It's just been proven. Sure that 4/10 of a liter is nice but so is being able to run 15+ psi without having to fork out "mad cash" for forged internals. The KA's cams are definitely not ideal for turbo-- they choke the high end, bad. There goes more money. Sure, a $10,000 budget Turbo KA will own a relatively stock SR, but how many people here just have that kind of disposable income just lying around.

Are you just plain retareded? SR20DE - only like wut 130 maybe 140 stock hp? The KA-T u could drop 4k in and have a 300+whp beast...

[NV_JSmith]

I forgot to add, how many of you even think about the different versions of the SR20, if your droppin the VE, hell yeh but your spending out the ***... SR20VE or SR20VET that would rip a hole in the either one of the DET's stock VE's are like 180whp, just image full turbo kit

[SeVa-S13]

Are you just plain retareded?

Man, you people just make it too easy...

[SeVa-S13]

Are you just plain retareded? SR20DE - only like wut 130 maybe 140 stock hp? The KA-T u could drop 4k in and have a 300+whp beast...

Ok, I'll try to not get too angry at this one...

SON, WHAT THE FUKK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?

Where on earth are you getting this SR20DE BS? This just dumbfounds me! Nowhere, NOWHERE in this thread was anyone thinking about swapping an NA SR into their 240. It's about the SR20DET and the KA24DET. Jesus people, read!

Edit: Oh, and there is no VE/T in RWD. Feel free to play again though.

[NV_JSmith]

Plain and simple, an SR will outshine a KA stock block vs. stock block.

crackhead its not stated T on either... and thats what YOU said...
