all i know is that the fastest sr is 7.25 at the quarter mile while the fastest ka is 7.73. i believe the difference is that the sr has the option of vvl and the ka does not.
@Cisco121490 Well, just because one car beat the same car with another engine, it doesn't mean that the engine's superior. There's too many variables to determine which one's better than the other.
@wajalama i go by experience. Every owner that has owned an SR has of coursed owned a KA. Ask an owner to which engine they would prefer and imo the reason the SR is better is reliability. easy to figure out whats wrong and easy to fix. The ka24de, i won't even start. It had a mind of its own and run good somedays and be bogging bad other days and god damn did i hate the timing chain rattle it had. Plus the fastest engine between the two is the SR with a time of 7.05. (kakos SR)
@wajalama they don't come with cam lift but mazworx sells a setup so you can put the head off of a sr20ve so the option is available. Its just hard to find an sr20ve head.
screw Nissan mannn. 5 liter V12 runnin 4 turbos with 20:1 compression all the way mann. ( rolling eyes ) Any engines fast with money :P Built what YOUU feel is the best. Not because someone else said its better or because the majority use it *cough* sr *cough*.
I can get an SR to my door step from my supplier for about $1928.00 guaranteed to have only about 40k miles on it. I can buy a t3-04 hybrid and manifold waste-gate and bov for another grand and tune it for 300 so about 3200 dollars and i can have a 340hp SR. That's where i would go with out putting money in the fuel system, I can put pull the ka and rebuild it not reinforce just rebuild the motor for about $270 bucks put $1200 into a turbo kit $400 for an aem piggy back $300 for a tune 340hp
sr puts out more power end of story. you have to spend more to make a ka as or more powerful then sr. and this video does nothing but show that the ka owner spent more money
@twistaj32 really....? lets say you spend 1500 on a KA, for a turbo kit and tune. Lets say you spend 1500 on an Sr, to TRY to replace the turbo for a bigger and/or better one... and tune. would the SR have more power...? HP? or Torque? PLUS an SR is about 2500 by itself... so already.. youve spent 4000 on the SR... all you need is about 2500 to make the KA rape an SR... all in all, their BOTH Nissan engines.. brothers dude.. not rivals... we should be talking shit to B16's or something...:)
@twistaj32 the Sr DOES NOT put out more hp.... the ka24 is an iron block, so it is inherently stronger then then iron sr20. since the ka is already in the car all you have to do is spend $2500 and u have 350rwhp. you have to first buy an sr20 and the parts to swap it in the car making it more expensive then the ka24de.
you know if the KA24 is "TOO HEAVY" u could could always REMOVE A/C, invest in LIGHTWEIGHT PULLEYS....... ALUMINUM HEADERS and a LIGHTWEIGHT FLYWHEEL, ya know LIGHTWEIGHT PISTONS AND RODS, i mean people...come on now.
The SR20 is to me the better motor, but the KA24 is the stronger one. There's a reason KA24 is second in line to the 4G63 as world's fastest four-cylinder. It can take the boost like a champ.
What video are you watching. He walked him the entire time. I watched it over to make sure, that SR wasn't catching up anytime soon. Blame it on the truck lol.
@Lycanthrobby uh no you are an idiot, this is simple science, 155hp car vs 205hp car and they weigh the same pretty much give or take 200 pounds depending on the drivers fatass...that makes no sense and I don't believe this video keep hating cause you don't have an SR faggot
Not only did you not watch the video (KA clearly won) but you didn't even read the title. It says KA24DET, T as in turbo charged. Naturally aspirated KA24de's are rated at 155 crank hp. You know what an N/A SR makes?? About 140 at the crank. I don't even have to resort to name calling to make you look like the fool that you are.
@behzad101 by the way I don't want an SR I have a KA24det, why would I want a less powerful motor?? And just because you refuse to believe the video doesn't make it a non-reality. You sound like a butthurt fanboi. It's a fairly common thing just search KA24det vs SR20det on this site look at the results and tell me what wins more often. I'll be waiting.
@Lycanthrobby ok my bad sorry , did not realize it was kat, I came back to this video at like 5 am, sorry. The SR can handle more than 400 hp on stock internals, I'd like to see KA do that. just saying its a shittier engine compared to the SR, it might have more power at its beginning state but it has far less potential.
@behzad101 a KA holds the 240sx quarter mile time record. It's second only to the 4g63t for 4 bangers for quickest quarter time. And actually there have been KA's holding over 500whp @30psi on stock internals the video is on youtube. I'd like to see an SR do that
KAs,SRs,RBs their all nissan...its all comes down to what your going to do with the car ...if you go Ka-T you might want to drag race due to the Torque it has, if you go SR then you might want to be a weekend warrior due its mild behavior on the street but also the abillty to kick ass when it needs to, if you go RB you have alot of money lol and you want to got REALLY fast with a powerful engine in a light weight car ethier way its ALL NISSAN AND NISSAN IS GOOOOOOOOD :D
Good luck finding a RB26 and when you do good luck finding parts. Plus after all of that is done, the install is a bitch, nothing fits right, the harness has something wrong with it. With all of the time and money you invest trying to be a skyline, you could have built a stroker ka, making it a 2.8 liter and looking at 500-700hp easily.The KA is the best bang for your $. Iron block, bridged mains, cheap parts, good power to torque ratio. KA all the way!
@supra9355 love the ka...but the 2jz and rb fit perfect in the 240s' My friends s14 has a 2jz wits nice and low and back against the firewall. Just depends on the install kit, my supplier in canada has an rb25 for 1500 and a 2jz for few more. I miss my ka though, i'm running a blacktop sr right it's ok I guess
@supra9355 dude its not hard to find 1 its the fact of spending $2000+ do get a whole 1 its just that most people do the twin turbo u can technically make a ka24dett but it wouldnt really be worth it its just the manifold really
@supra9355 thats why you do an RB25...also the RB26 is mainly mounted to an AWD tranny, more issues. The RB25 fits very easily, with some minor modification to the firewall.
Ca18det,ka24det,sr20det,rb20det,rb25det,rb26dett, vg30dett,VQ35. All good motors Really comes down to how much money you have, Amount of effort you want to put in, high end power or low end torque. If you want to Drift nothing wrong with stock KA24de. all 130hp of it. Fast for cheap.. I would go rotary + it coo.
i don't hear a bov on either of these cars, if they're "turbo'd" i'd hear something right? like the spooling of the turbo? someone point it out if i'm wrong and tell me where to hear it, bc my sr20 is really loud when it spools, and bov can be heard from other car....
kadet built and tuned right willnot blow. you need to forged the full bottom end , arp bolts commectic gaskets . build a k 2.7 stroker boost it. the sr just cheap way to have stock 200hp motor then plan another 2k in upgrades to get 300hp. so a swap is 2k jdm sr, 600 fmu, anothe 1000 turbo upgrade. 250 wiring. 200
a stock sr? haha get ready to rebuild your KA soon. but props to you for running a KA. its true, you dnt see many KA's out there anymore. but the SR is the best swap, for price anyway. so i can see everyones point. but not everyone has the same mind frame with their cars. so everything is different.
sr and ka. both motors are great! ka has an irn block which is great for boost! but the rods are weak.and the sr has an aluminum block, lighter but weaker... KA-T ted to blow. very easy. SR is better all around. stronger engine, produces more hp. KA-T sits at 235.. SR turbo sits at around 270. SR is better all around. reason why everyone swaps to SR.
I think people do the swap just so they can be JDM fan boys. It cooler for some reason to say I have an sr. I would never put a SR in a 240 either build the KA right for boost or RB/2J swap I dont beleive in taking out a bigger motor for a smaller one just so I can say I did a motor swap wich what alot of people do.
though the sr is smaller is has alot more power and can prouce and hold alot more power then a KA. its a good swap and people dnt do it just to say they swapped a motor. KA internals are weak. if you build and turbo the motor will blow eventually. waaaaaaaaaaay to much money to re-do all internal. ive seen waaaay to many turbo KA's blow. so its highly not recomended!
i think on my opinion sr20det is a bettter motor can do a lot more and yu can beat the dog piss out of them. i havent seen a ka t stay together to long even it has decent power.sorry tu say sr power
gripe all you want i just saw a rb26dett on ebay for 2200 bucks. trans included. thatll put any sr or ka in the dirt. and youll spend about that on an sr or turbo`n a ka. maybe not the ka turbo but come on....dett my nigga lol. im saving to put one in my hardbody right now lol
your kidding right ?? ive got an sr s14 with 250rwhp (at the moment) and a mate has a gtr32 with the rb26dett completely standard bar a 3" cat back and from a 100kph roll he almost blasts me off the side of the road and after he ups the boost to x3 and gets a tune i dont think i wan2 go near it on the highway LOL ;)
i would think a 1jz-2jz would cost more..i have a 72 celice with a 1jz..the car cost me 900 and i got the motor, ecu..for 1500..then i got a sc300 tranny...150..after the shop installed it i was only n 7,500..so do u really think a rb would cost more then a 1jz-2jz...????
he means with all the extra parts. The drive shaft doesn't fit and thats gonna be like another 400-600 dollors... then you gotta buy an intercooler and all the extra turbo parts you need with is another 400-600 dollors... you might wanna get a larger brake booster... blah blah blah... bottom line is the rb26 is too powerful for the rest of the 240sx so you'd have to spend money on making sure the motor doesn't kill the car itself. No it's not gonna be like 10k but it'll be up there.
everyone does the SR20det so go ahead be like everyone else BLAHH
be dif build a KA24DET and enjoy it for under the money a SR20DET cost to buy and install and no matter what somebody gonna be faster so have fun dont be a hater!
ck ebay for 3grand you can buy the whole front cap off a skyline from front seats to front bumper amlost everything to install 1
not that dang expensive the motor and trans and all to swap it is around 2thou now go play some more Xbox and leave the motor stuff to the ones who know
i have 2 S13's one coup and one hatch coup is a built KA hatch is awaiting a RB or ls1 as sson as money is saved enough
powicito 1st off wow every post you made seemed you got madder and madder LMAO!!!!
your buddy's SR20 must be a good one due to everybody knows above 10psi they melt stock pistons and i was comparing money vs money buy the SR,2.5G install it,1G now u have spent 3.5 thou why not be different and use that 3thou in the KA with new pistons they handle alot and yes their not a HI REV motor but have much more torque that will make up difference so wow get pissed and cuss everyone out again why dont ya
haha u sure did get that powicito riled up. lol. and he even goes to say ka cant handle 400hp mark without the help of forged internals which is not entirely true. ka CAN handle 400 hp on stock internals, but anything over that is when u may want to upgrade.
Ok I'm tired of reading this stupid ass argument about which engine's better. Lets begin with any fucking car (engine) when modified can beat anyone. So this is pointless you guys are comparing one stock freaking engine (SR) vs a modified engine (KA-T)
who you thought was going to win?
Besides both engines are nissan. Just built the one you like the most and kick some honda ass ; )
and the SR20det has a problem melting pistons when boosted over 10psi
so spend money importing the SR then building it alot of mula why not be different build the KA24DET basically just need lower comp forged pistons and a turbo kit and prob save mula over SR and have more torque for less mula hmmmm
You're way wrong my friend. SR with 30 psi on stock s15 pistons = 434whp with a borgwarner. I've seen it. SR20s don't need internals to safely make the 400whp mark. You can read it in almost every magazine an sr appears, try a ka stock internals with that much whp and it will spit a piston right in the dyno.
lets see LS1 is 180lbs LIGHTER than a KA24DE and the RB25det is 80or more than a KA24DE
the RB25 stock puts out 250hp and the LS1 stock puts out 320hp so hmm you do the math!! dont get me wrong we are saving up mula to buy a RB but when we put it in fer sure wont be stock
reps to the LS1 stock or built best choice for power!!!
oh and Th3LegendKiller said alot of fab work to install a RB in a 240sx BS its buy jim wolf's motor mounts for a total of under 4grand
and thats just the basics not upgrading your exhaust or even clutch, i dont personally see anything wrong with a fmu thats what i used on my car, just a standalone really is the way to go for tunibility and longevitivity. so realistically it is worth it to just drive your car and save a extra 2 grand... a ls1 can be had pretty cheap nowadays with 6 speed ws6 tranny wire harness and ecu for aroun 1500-2000, thn sts rear mount turbo...lol... that would be sick tho
to javis sr20- z06 doesnt have a ls1 c5 gen had a ls6 and c6 has a ls7. ls1 is in the camaro ss a very good engine also.. not trying to be a dick just stopping any misinformation
to th3legendkiller- how much do you think a good running turbo set up is? manifold+turbo=500-800, wastegate=100,bov=80, piping=200, intercooler=150, (cheap fmu + injectors=400, still cheap piggyback+injectors=5-600, best standalone= 1000+), plus fuel pump=100, oil and coolant lines and fittings=60, downpipe=150
Yea ur right about every thing u said i was just joking lol. but what im doing is hooking up my ka24 then putting in a sr20. but b4 i do that i need to do body work.
Wow you guys are idiots you think ppl just have money to buy a rb25/26 like that. Ok you can get the engine for 3 grand then what? drop it in like that?? Hell no, you have to fabricate your which will costs thousands im sure just to make it fit. plus some ppl ( like me ) don't hve that type of money. i say go sr & fast. Ka's are cool too
Fuck the KA24T fuck the SR20DET Fuck The CA18DET Fuck The RB20DET Fuck The RB25DET. Ether go with a RB26DET Z06 LS1 or 300z Ether way its going to cost u :3
its all bout what u want , u got a cast iron block w/main girdel on a ka, or alum. block sleeved on sr witch is turbo factory so yeah its gonna beat a ka factory, but i personaly like me some tq so im a ka fan and less money put the money u use in a sr swap in a ka bigger tubo upgrade internals and some managment, u got somethin a lil quicker that a sr
if you want to stick with nissan motors, go RB25DET for only $2,000. no nissan motor? go LS1 or similar. stock, reliable, powerful, both of them. plus they both sound much better than the 4 cylinders.
They are both Nissan motors. Any true nissan fan wouldn't give a fuck, but if you kids want to keep finding dumb shit to argue about, then go for it :D
The SR20 is just full of fail. Why the fuck would you swap in a smaller displacement motor in the first place? That just shows how incompetent people with SR's are.
Not everyone is rich: tires, clutch, brakes, body damage depending on driver, all adds up. Don't get me wrong I think drifting is fun, but it's not a sport for the budget racers.
talk about rich? lol i started on a 89 240sx coupe saved up some money and dropped a twin cam non turbo that i bought from the JUNKYARD for 300$, so i get my clutches and pads whenever i want bcuz i have lifetime warranty and i buy 20$ tires that i use on my steel rims.
Well actually no, the bigger engine does not make more top end power they tend to make more low end power but usually there is more power on tap for it to pull away in the top end as well.
Ka24det should always beat the sr20det due to the increased displacement of the engine. If the same modifications were done to each car honestly the one with the bigger engine will win. Great job with that ka I am going to be building one for my 1900 lb 1973 toyota celica race car. I know I know nissan in a toyota but power is power so yeah. Get that camera straight and horizontal though.
Yeah, but what are the odds that they will have an SR20 from them? I don't think many people will be too happy swapping in a N/A SR20. But correct me if im wrong lol.
well some of you have a good point and some who have shitty ones. let me settle it. ka's stock are 2.4l so obviously there is more torque. and the ka has an iron block (gay) but that does not meen it can hold more power. in the end it is the rods that hold the vast majority of it. the reason everyone loves sr's are they are easily modded all aluminum and people who have their cars on a diet like them because they are light. plus the fact they were only sold in japan :)
KA-T motors make more hp and tq than an SR almost always.because for the $3,000(Min.) for the SR you can build a KA to be better. I went on google shopping and found KA 9-1CR pistons for like $600, T25/T28 off an SR for cheap. cat back like $600, downpipe like $300. A no-name intercooler like $150, a shop or friend with a welder can make you charge pipe for $300 tops. A BOV $250(new) and that ends up to $2200 all the other pieces that I didn't think of can come out of the other $800 you have.
well anyway ka24de-T is better than sr20det. ka has more torque than an sr which is better. sr less torque and can rev to 7500 only 500 more than ka big deal.ka block is an iron block and can take more abuse than sr anyway.
i've seen and been in KA-T's and for the most part I learned 2 things: they're unstable, and they can pull pretty hard
SR20's are just an easier platform, more parts accessible, and you can put out the same kind of numbers. it depends on what kind of car you want to build, but SR20's are THE original turbo motor from Nissan. Before SE-R's and Pulsar's had them.
Torque = useless when you're already at 70MPH and your car is as light as a Lotus.
sr20det are better than a ka24de, i respect the ka24de but i dont think it shits on sr20det by any means, all i hear is no replacement for displacement, if thats the case why not install a v8 they have alot of displacement, they have more than a rb26dett would you rather install a v8 or rb26dett.
your stupid. for one a v8 weighs a shit ton. the ka24de has more dislpacement than the sr20det but the sr20 is faster because it is turbod. if you put a turbo on the ka24de. the ka will obviously win because its has more displacement. thats like commen sense man.
im stupid? first off ive heard that a v8 an ka24de weigh the same, also you said because it has more displacement it will win a race, so the redline of an engine has no play in a race, yes it has plenty,im not hating on a ka but i prefer sr20det anyday, if you want to race hit me ill show you what sr20 high reving engine does.
Displacement matters. KA-T's will win in a straight line with less boost. The Iron block offers high horsepower advantages, but
a custom built sr24det (same displacement to make it even) will smoke a KA-T with the same setup because it is a better revving and better flowing design. But both engines have their place and they both are better than anything you can put in a civic or a teg.
ever heard of high reving SOHC ka's? well their r! k lol what if u bore out the ka???? maybe a 2.7L 4bangr haha, whats next? KA27det vs rb26dett? lol, SIZE wise the ka is bigger per bore even compair it to a rb, that has 6 cyl. 2.6 ??
wtf? they both have a turbo, what are you talking about? technically nothing. he won. there is nothing technical about it. the car that is in front wins. (unless its the camera car...)
dude, read description, ka24 **DET*** vs sr20... he was pretty particular with the ka24 engine specs so i'm assuming he did the same with the sr20, and, in-case you don't know anything about nissan engines, unless its an sr20de****T***** ie SR20DET, it is NOT turbo, which makes a HUGE difference, and could have easily won the race with a gap that small.
im not sure who that was directed at but, if it was towards me then you read my post wrong. i know they are both turbo. im not fucking stupid. and if anyone puts ann sr20de in their car, they are just fucking retarded. why waste the money to put a smaller displacement N.A motor in your car....IF that was an sr20de, then it would have lost much worse to that ka-t. i own a ka-t, i know how fast it is.
dude, the 180sx (which it looks like he's dragging, if its an s13 silvia then same goes too) came with the sr20de engine.. he might not have put an engine in at all. if you do ANY research at all, you'll actually find that the sr20 was a much better engine than the ka24, whether or not you own it. even try googling sr20 vs ka24... an sr20det will destroy a ka24det any day. and sr20's accept mods a lot more happily. learn ur stuff buddy.
you are so fucking stupid, its unbelievable. they are in the UNITED STATES!!!! s13 silvias and 180sxs don't exist in the states! so from the factory both cars have ka24de engines. On top of that, the 180sx does NOT come with a sr20de, it comes with a ca18det. AND the s13 silvia comes with the sr20det. thats great that you think you know so much, but you are the one that needs to do your homework. i deal with these cars on a daily basis, i highly doubt you know more than i do.
oh fail. do you not understand the idea of imports? ooh you deal with cars on a daily basis. sorry dude, but driving doesn't make you a car pro. just so happen's i've been in the market for a silvia for the last 6 months and have done about as much research as you can as to which is better, ka or sr, and almost all sources have said the same thing... sr shits on ka. .4 extra liters means more torque, but the engine dies at 5500. sr goes to 7500
wow. you know nothing. for one, im a nissan tech. second, just because a sr has higher rpm range, doesn't mean its faster. if that was the case then an s2000 would be the fastest car on the street cause it revvs to 9k. your a dumbass. and the redline on a ka24 is 6500rpm. wow, your sr has 1000 more rpm up top. are you retarded, you say all your research says a sr shits on a ka. LOOK AT THIS FUCKING VIDEO! if a ka beating an sr! you are truly ignorant.
wrong Mr. tech. 180sx's got sr20s in 91 and had them up through 1998. Silvia's have been imported to the states in hordes since the mid 90's (not legally) Also, its foolish to argue which car is faster in this video when you don't know their setups.
if YOU do ANY research you would see that the sr20 vs ka24 argument is HUGE. there is no solid proof that a sr20 is "better" than a ka24. What makes it better? What is "better"? KA24's have more displacement, and greater torque than an sr20. Therefore, ka's have a lot more torque than a sr20. And sr20s don't accept mods "better" than a ka24. its all in how you tune the car, and what you put on it as far as mods go. Learn your shit before you try and tell me i'm wrong faggot.
people people an sr20det would scoop and ka24det but an sr20de wouldnt stand a chance against a ka24 becauce it has more valves (24) vs (20)sr20 so there u go.
nice race even tho im a sr owner and fan...ka24de-t is still nice if build for serious boost 15psi+

I can get an SR to my door step from my supplier for about $1928.00 guaranteed to have only about 40k miles on it. I can buy a t3-04 hybrid and manifold waste-gate and bov for another grand and tune it for 300 so about 3200 dollars and i can have a 340hp SR. That's where i would go with out putting money in the fuel system, I can put pull the ka and rebuild it not reinforce just rebuild the motor for about $270 bucks put $1200 into a turbo kit $400 for an aem piggy back $300 for a tune 340hp

sr puts out more power end of story. you have to spend more to make a ka as or more powerful then sr. and this video does nothing but show that the ka owner spent more money
twistaj32 1 year ago
@twistaj32 really....? lets say you spend 1500 on a KA, for a turbo kit and tune. Lets say you spend 1500 on an Sr, to TRY to replace the turbo for a bigger and/or better one... and tune. would the SR have more power...? HP? or Torque? PLUS an SR is about 2500 by itself... so already.. youve spent 4000 on the SR... all you need is about 2500 to make the KA rape an SR... all in all, their BOTH Nissan engines.. brothers dude.. not rivals... we should be talking shit to B16's or something...:)

twistaj32 1 year ago
@twistaj32 the Sr DOES NOT put out more hp.... the ka24 is an iron block, so it is inherently stronger then then iron sr20. since the ka is already in the car all you have to do is spend $2500 and u have 350rwhp. you have to first buy an sr20 and the parts to swap it in the car making it more expensive then the ka24de.

The SR20 is to me the better motor, but the KA24 is the stronger one. There's a reason KA24 is second in line to the 4G63 as world's fastest four-cylinder. It can take the boost like a champ.

@MassiveLemon but if u turbo the ka to about 7-8 lbs its the same hp really
guccamain 1 year ago
@guccamain
Depends on many factors, especially since turbos are about the flow, not the PSI, plus the KA24 has the torque and stronger internals as well.

ka's are undersquare engines. meaning larger stroke then cylinder bore=torque
sr are square, cylinder bore = stroke.... higher rev

@Lycanthrobby uh no you are an idiot, this is simple science, 155hp car vs 205hp car and they weigh the same pretty much give or take 200 pounds depending on the drivers fatass...that makes no sense and I don't believe this video keep hating cause you don't have an SR faggot
behzad101 1 year ago
@behzad101
Not only did you not watch the video (KA clearly won) but you didn't even read the title. It says KA24DET, T as in turbo charged. Naturally aspirated KA24de's are rated at 155 crank hp. You know what an N/A SR makes?? About 140 at the crank. I don't even have to resort to name calling to make you look like the fool that you are.
Lycanthrobby 1 year ago
@behzad101 by the way I don't want an SR I have a KA24det, why would I want a less powerful motor?? And just because you refuse to believe the video doesn't make it a non-reality. You sound like a butthurt fanboi. It's a fairly common thing just search KA24det vs SR20det on this site look at the results and tell me what wins more often. I'll be waiting.
Lycanthrobby 1 year ago
@Lycanthrobby ok my bad sorry , did not realize it was kat, I came back to this video at like 5 am, sorry. The SR can handle more than 400 hp on stock internals, I'd like to see KA do that. just saying its a shittier engine compared to the SR, it might have more power at its beginning state but it has far less potential.
behzad101 1 year ago
@behzad101 a KA holds the 240sx quarter mile time record. It's second only to the 4g63t for 4 bangers for quickest quarter time. And actually there have been KA's holding over 500whp @30psi on stock internals the video is on youtube. I'd like to see an SR do that

Good luck finding a RB26 and when you do good luck finding parts. Plus after all of that is done, the install is a bitch, nothing fits right, the harness has something wrong with it. With all of the time and money you invest trying to be a skyline, you could have built a stroker ka, making it a 2.8 liter and looking at 500-700hp easily.The KA is the best bang for your $. Iron block, bridged mains, cheap parts, good power to torque ratio. KA all the way!

@supra9355 love the ka...but the 2jz and rb fit perfect in the 240s' My friends s14 has a 2jz wits nice and low and back against the firewall.

Ca18det,ka24det,sr20det,rb20det,rb25det,rb26dett, vg30dett,VQ35. All good motors Really comes down to how much money you have, Amount of effort you want to put in, high end power or low end torque. If you want to Drift nothing wrong with stock KA24de. all 130hp of it. Fast for cheap.. I would go rotary + it coo.

kadet built and tuned right willnot blow. you need to forged the full bottom end , arp bolts commectic gaskets . build a k 2.7 stroker boost it. the sr just cheap way to have stock 200hp motor then plan another 2k in upgrades to get 300hp. so a swap is 2k jdm sr, 600 fmu, anothe 1000 turbo upgrade. 250 wiring. 200

a stock sr? haha get ready to rebuild your KA soon. but props to you for running a KA. its true, you dnt see many KA's out there anymore. but the SR is the best swap, for price anyway. so i can see everyones point. but not everyone has the same mind frame with their cars. so everything is different.
onyx240 2 years ago
sr and ka. both motors are great! ka has an irn block which is great for boost! but the rods are weak.and the sr has an aluminum block, lighter but weaker... KA-T ted to blow. very easy. SR is better all around. stronger engine, produces more hp. KA-T sits at 235.. SR turbo sits at around 270. SR is better all around. reason why everyone swaps to SR.
onyx240 2 years ago
I think people do the swap just so they can be JDM fan boys. It cooler for some reason to say I have an sr. I would never put a SR in a 240 either build the KA right for boost or RB/2J swap I dont beleive in taking out a bigger motor for a smaller one just so I can say I did a motor swap wich what alot of people do.
DVcustomZ 2 years ago
though the sr is smaller is has alot more power and can prouce and hold alot more power then a KA. its a good swap and people dnt do it just to say they swapped a motor. KA internals are weak. if you build and turbo the motor will blow eventually. waaaaaaaaaaay to much money to re-do all internal. ive seen waaaay to many turbo KA's blow. so its highly not recomended!

No it's not gonna be like 10k but it'll be up there.

DRZman007 2 years ago
haha u sure did get that powicito riled up. lol. and he even goes to say ka cant handle 400hp mark without the help of forged internals which is not entirely true. ka CAN handle 400 hp on stock internals, but anything over that is when u may want to upgrade.
dre1507 2 years ago
Ok I'm tired of reading this stupid ass argument about which engine's better. Lets begin with any fucking car (engine) when modified can beat anyone. So this is pointless you guys are comparing one stock freaking engine (SR) vs a modified engine (KA-T)
who you thought was going to win?
Besides both engines are nissan. Just built the one you like the most and kick some honda ass ; )
powicito 2 years ago 2
and the SR20det has a problem melting pistons when boosted over 10psi
so spend money importing the SR then building it alot of mula why not be different build the KA24DET basically just need lower comp forged pistons and a turbo kit and prob save mula over SR and have more torque for less mula hmmmm
DRZman007 2 years ago
You're way wrong my friend. SR with 30 psi on stock s15 pistons = 434whp with a borgwarner. I've seen it. SR20s don't need internals to safely make the 400whp mark. You can read it in almost every magazine an sr appears, try a ka stock internals with that much whp and it will spit a piston right in the dyno.
powicito 2 years ago
lets see LS1 is 180lbs LIGHTER than a KA24DE and the RB25det is 80or more than a KA24DE
the RB25 stock puts out 250hp and the LS1 stock puts out 320hp so hmm you do the math!! dont get me wrong we are saving up mula to buy a RB but when we put it in fer sure wont be stock
reps to the LS1 stock or built best choice for power!!!
oh and Th3LegendKiller said alot of fab work to install a RB in a 240sx BS its buy jim wolf's motor mounts for a total of under 4grand
DRZman007 2 years ago
and thats just the basics not upgrading your exhaust or even clutch, i dont personally see anything wrong with a fmu thats what i used on my car, just a standalone really is the way to go for tunibility and longevitivity. so realistically it is worth it to just drive your car and save a extra 2 grand... a ls1 can be had pretty cheap nowadays with 6 speed ws6 tranny wire harness and ecu for aroun 1500-2000, thn sts rear mount turbo...lol... that would be sick tho

Ka24det should always beat the sr20det due to the increased displacement of the engine. If the same modifications were done to each car honestly the one with the bigger engine will win.

well some of you have a good point and some who have shitty ones. let me settle it. ka's stock are 2.4l so obviously there is more torque. and the ka has an iron block (gay) but that does not meen it can hold more power. in the end it is the rods that hold the vast majority of it. the reason everyone loves sr's are they are easily modded all aluminum and people who have their cars on a diet like them because they are light. plus the fact they were only sold in japan :)
krty6 3 years ago
KA-T motors make more hp and tq than an SR almost always.because for the $3,000(Min.) for the SR you can build a KA to be better. I went on google shopping and found KA 9-1CR pistons for like $600, T25/T28 off an SR for cheap. cat back like $600, downpipe like $300. A no-name intercooler like $150, a shop or friend with a welder can make you charge pipe for $300 tops. A BOV $250(new) and that ends up to $2200 all the other pieces that I didn't think of can come out of the other $800 you have.

i've seen and been in KA-T's and for the most part I learned 2 things: they're unstable, and they can pull pretty hard
SR20's are just an easier platform, more parts accessible, and you can put out the same kind of numbers. it depends on what kind of car you want to build, but SR20's are THE original turbo motor from Nissan. Before SE-R's and Pulsar's had them.
Torque = useless when you're already at 70MPH and your car is as light as a Lotus.

sr20det are better than a ka24de, i respect the ka24de but i dont think it shits on sr20det by any means, all i hear is no replacement for displacement, if thats the case why not install a v8 they have alot of displacement, they have more than a rb26dett would you rather install a v8 or rb26dett.
mart182003 3 years ago
your stupid. for one a v8 weighs a shit ton. the ka24de has more dislpacement than the sr20det but the sr20 is faster because it is turbod. if you put a turbo on the ka24de. the ka will obviously win because its has more displacement. thats like commen sense man.
Kitric 3 years ago
im stupid? first off ive heard that a v8 an ka24de weigh the same, also you said because it has more displacement it will win a race, so the redline of an engine has no play in a race, yes it has plenty,im not hating on a ka but i prefer sr20det anyday, if you want to race hit me ill show you what sr20 high reving engine does.
mart182003 3 years ago
1st off a LS1 weighs only 40lbs less than a KA24de, 2nd KA-t still shittin on a sr,lol
240trooper 3 years ago
Displacement matters. KA-T's will win in a straight line with less boost. The Iron block offers high horsepower advantages, but
a custom built sr24det (same displacement to make it even) will smoke a KA-T with the same setup because it is a better revving and better flowing design. But both engines have their place and they both are better than anything you can put in a civic or a teg.

dude, read description, ka24 **DET*** vs sr20... he was pretty particular with the ka24 engine specs so i'm assuming he did the same with the sr20, and, in-case you don't know anything about nissan engines, unless its an sr20de****T***** ie SR20DET, it is NOT turbo, which makes a HUGE difference, and could have easily won the race with a gap that small.

im not sure who that was directed at but, if it was towards me then you read my post wrong. i know they are both turbo. im not fucking stupid. and if anyone puts ann sr20de in their car, they are just fucking retarded. why waste the money to put a smaller displacement N.A motor in your car....IF that was an sr20de, then it would have lost much worse to that ka-t. i own a ka-t, i know how fast it is.

dude, the 180sx (which it looks like he's dragging, if its an s13 silvia then same goes too) came with the sr20de engine.. he might not have put an engine in at all. if you do ANY research at all, you'll actually find that the sr20 was a much better engine than the ka24, whether or not you own it. even try googling sr20 vs ka24... an sr20det will destroy a ka24det any day. and sr20's accept mods a lot more happily. learn ur stuff buddy.

you are so fucking stupid, its unbelievable. they are in the UNITED STATES!!!! s13 silvias and 180sxs don't exist in the states! so from the factory both cars have ka24de engines. On top of that, the 180sx does NOT come with a sr20de, it comes with a ca18det. AND the s13 silvia comes with the sr20det. thats great that you think you know so much, but you are the one that needs to do your homework. i deal with these cars on a daily basis, i highly doubt you know more than i do.

oh fail. do you not understand the idea of imports? ooh you deal with cars on a daily basis. sorry dude, but driving doesn't make you a car pro. just so happen's i've been in the market for a silvia for the last 6 months and have done about as much research as you can as to which is better, ka or sr, and almost all sources have said the same thing... sr shits on ka. .4 extra liters means more torque, but the engine dies at 5500. sr goes to 7500
natman48 3 years ago
wow. you know nothing. for one, im a nissan tech. second, just because a sr has higher rpm range, doesn't mean its faster. if that was the case then an s2000 would be the fastest car on the street cause it revvs to 9k. your a dumbass. and the redline on a ka24 is 6500rpm. wow, your sr has 1000 more rpm up top. are you retarded, you say all your research says a sr shits on a ka. LOOK AT THIS FUCKING VIDEO! if a ka beating an sr! you are truly ignorant.

I know I'm putting my neck on the line but is true. Kas from FACTORY can't rev that high!

wrong Mr. tech. 180sx's got sr20s in 91 and had them up through 1998. Silvia's have been imported to the states in hordes since the mid 90's (not legally) Also, its foolish to argue which car is faster in this video when you don't know their setups.

if YOU do ANY research you would see that the sr20 vs ka24 argument is HUGE. there is no solid proof that a sr20 is "better" than a ka24. What makes it better? What is "better"? KA24's have more displacement, and greater torque than an sr20. Therefore, ka's have a lot more torque than a sr20. And sr20s don't accept mods "better" than a ka24. its all in how you tune the car, and what you put on it as far as mods go. Learn your shit before you try and tell me i'm wrong faggot.

people people an sr20det would scoop and ka24det but an sr20de wouldnt stand a chance against a ka24 becauce it has more valves (24) vs (20)sr20 so there u go.

please tell me you're joking.... the 24 in KA24 stands for 2.4 liters... and the 20 in sr20 stands for 2.0 liters... you fail at life
