While this was an inappropriate place to ask, I do think this qualifies as a frequently asked question (and one of frequent debate).
When both engines are fully dressed in completely stock form, the SR20DET weighs within a few pounds of the KA24E and KA24DE - close enough so as not to matter. The lighter block is offset by the weight of the turbocharger and intercooler.
It's a topic of debate because no one ever swaps a completely stock SR, and the weight of both engines will vary by installed accessories.
If it's of concern to you, your best bet is to weigh the car on racer's scales after the engine swap and plan your weight savings from there, because everyone's car and engine will be different.
