Upgrade KA without turbo or get SR20 with turbo

[silvia tunner]

I've been trying to see what im gona do with my car i want to get the turbo but i've heard the mantanance on it is a stress full. I;ve also been thinking on just leaving the engine i have but not putting the turbo and just upgradeing the sh*t out of the engine with the money that i would have for the SR20? Let me know what u guys think!

IMO forced induction> naturally aspirated

Seriously, a built up n/a KA will cost more, and make less power than a stock SR20det.

definately SR20

i just got mine and i'd trade it for absolutely nothing

[silvia tunner]

But what i don't want is to have problems with the turbo breaking or the transmission fuc*ing up because of the turbo. if i get the turbo i want nothing to go wrong in the future with it

[silvia tunner]

how much did it cost?

[silvia tunner]

and how long have u had it for? any problems?

silvia tunner- there's absolutely no guarantee with anything especially if you start messing around with things. Actually, 1 guarantee. A HEADACHE!!!

First of all, if its your primary transportation, figure out a secondary before messing with things. The head ache is not so bad if you always have plan b.

Second, a built-up KA, SR, even stock will break things. My trannys synchros are bad and I have a stock KA. So bolting on a turbo will not necessarily break things. It breaks because of wear/tear. Just depends on how you abuse or take care of things.

Anything that produces heat will break down sometime (author unknown). Take mainevent's advise, do your research and make sure you don't do a half-fast job.

Sorry, I don't mean to preach.

I have seen plenty of daily driven CA's!! I won't say which engine is best due to the risk of offending someone.............
