ka's are beefy 4 cylinders. If you do all the supporting mods, headgasket, rings,better cooling etc. you can very reliably run 300 hp. And imo, a 300 hp ka is more fun than a 300 hp sr because of higher torque outputs. hp will make you go fast but torque is what you'll feel. I got a 300 hp ka-t setup in the works rn, and just drove it for the first time a few days ago, super fun. The ka bottom ends are decently strong. if you beat the piss out of it without maintaining it they can spin bearings, and also the pistons aren't well suited for turbo applications, but at around 300hp youll be fine. 8 or 9 lbs of boost with an rsenthalpy tune and call it a day.
