The truth about SR's

[ilovesideways]

This thread fails....however KA-T is awesome and I used to despise the SR but lately after helping my friends works on their's I have become quite fond of the SR....I see an SR swap in my near future

i was exactly like you man. i help my friend swap in a sr into a hatch and i love those little motors.. but now that i have an rb i wont ever get rid of it..

the truth about this thread- it needs to be locked..

that is all

[jessetang]

lol why are u on a nissan enthusiast site then? go buy a civic and go chill on their site bashin w/e u want... if u dont like SR's thats your opinion, and im pretty sure quite a few people would disagree with u on that. IMO there an awesome weight to power ratio engine and very reliable if u kno how to build them right.

on a side note: FYI B16's are not half the engine 2jz's are... and will NEVER have the torque or power that they are capable of.

You fail at life since you cannot tell the difference between a joke and the truth. Maybe if you actually read what I wrote, you can see it is a joke from the first sentence.

And stop compare a 2JZ to a B16. It is just not fair. B16 did as good as an engine 2JZ did.

If i am not mistaken i would say he was using sarcasm. Reread it with a little bit of sarcasm and "Live and let Die"

SR's give stupid people a stupid question to ask you about your car

... whats so bad about rotaries

[mattblancarte]

rotaries aren't too bad, if you know what you're doing. if anyone is interested in building one, read the following article. edjumacate yourself, if you will.

i think they are just too complicated for most.seems like alot of them i see for sell are selling because its broke and they have no idea whats the problem

yeah but people in general are stupid when it comes to rotaries. they just can't be treated like a piston engine. I learned working on rotaries first then went to piston engines. they're easy to work on if you learn some things before tearing in there.

ghast- i'm running my blacktop sr with an ssqv non recirced and it sounds good and idles solid. i odn't have any problems at all with it. sounds great at high boost, low boost can almost sound like a faint whistling.

this thread fails, all the engine options mentioned can be justified and are good in their own right. i thought about going ca or kat when i had my first s13, but for teh cost of building the ka to handle serious boost, you could pick up an sr for cheaper that is intended to handle boost already. it's pointless for the most part, most people aren't going to change their opinions through debating online.

My 89 is getting an SR swap now. If I listened to all of folks out there talking this and that, I would have an incomplete project and be forced to cut my losses like a lot of folks out there. But that's not gonna happen. Personally, I loved my CA. Yeah, CA. Too bad I couldn't bring it back to the states with me, but I'm gong with something different this time. Good look RICO with the CA love.

You would think that we would start the new year with something more productive than a thread like this....................

Thank You ^^ I am thinking i am going to go with the SSQV

I used to be into rotaries and had three different fc's. One day I realized that rotaries are garbage and got rid of my cars. They're too high maintenance and too problem stricken. Wrongmotor.com says it all. The beauty of the rx-7 is the handling though and when I had my cars aftermarket parts were few and hard to come by.

[White Comet]

theres plenty of parts for teh fc out there, and pbm makes fc parts as well. if you don't like the rotary that's fine, but they're far from garbage, they just take a different kind of attention and maitanance. stock for stock though, an NA fc will out perform a 240sx

I dont know why everyone hates on the SR. There is a reason everyone has one. Normally when something is widely used and popular thats because it's good(I understand this is not always true). The SR is a brilliant engine, light, high revving, fits in the 240's with correct weight distribution(ls1 guys take note), and can be built at any level. If you want ultimate weight distribution, revving capability, and power do this.

actually from those words, the CA is a far superior engine than the SR is. CA is lighter, has higher revving, and fits with correct weigth dist. as well. hehe. the SR is just more expensive and has about 20 more hp, something that can easily achived with the difference

SR is a good engine though. I want one later on lol. take care of it and it'll be just fine

[titanoh]

How torquey are CA's? I know that SR's lack some compared to KA's, so it seems like a .6 liter drop would be significant. Im not going to argue on about KA's, but some people seem to be misinformed.The only reason this thread keeps going on is because people keep rambling on about engines...but hey, Im OK with that.

[White Comet]

i've never been in a ca powered car, but i'd imagine it has less torque then an sr

Here's my rant. Isn't it obvious. A 2.0 is going to have less torque than a 2.6, 2.5, or 2.4. Therefore a 1.8 CA is going to have less torque than a 2.0 SR. There's also a stronger aftermarket support for the SR too.

[titanoh]

Haha, I kinda figured that out. I was just wondering if you can "feel" the torque or if its like non-existant.
