Same. Guy that helped me do mine that has an SR said they are damn near identical swaps. Tooks us ~20 hours and she fired on the first crank thank you very much:)

I think the RB20 has its benefits if you're gonna do a swap.. much cheaper than SR, more cylinders/displacement than CA. However, the KA-T is simpler becuase there's no swap involved, and with good tuning they can make tons of power on stock internals (a la the sound performance s13 KA-T)

i say do the ka-t and if the engine blows then you have another as a back up.

but the ca and the rb both have advantages as well. but for now since you have the ka motor why no use it.

you can also test how much and how long the amount of horse power the ka-t can handle on stock internals. the do a review on you experence.

Forget those "common" engines, get a FJ20DET :DThe early one with the 7 something compression. Then you can go around to all the other guys with swaps and say "My engine is your engine's daddy! Unf Unf biatch!"(I'm joking btw)
