Someone is going to tell you to do a search.  In my opinion I'm aiming towards a KA24DE-T for my coupe S13.  He he. finally got one but thats besides the point.  SR20DET has about ~209 lb/ft and depending on the year about 190-250hp.  There are a bunch of kits for the KA24DE.  Nsport, Fmax, Revhard, XS engineering are some fo the ones that make a kit for the KA.  Yeah the KA isn't as strong as the SR20 though.  But its good enough for me.  It isn't high revving like the SR so don't plan on going for those MaD sKiLlz VtEc style runs on the KA but you have plenty of torque.  KA has about ~240rwhp and about as much tq from what I"ve seen.  Its all up to personal preference though.  I might eventually get a red top if I decide that the KA is too old.  120K might be a bit much.

its a matter of personal preference.  I was torn before the oppertunity arose for me to get an SR.  looking back now then yes its definately worth it.  FOR ME  your results may vary.  and my stock SR (FMIC intake manifold 3" exhaust)  ran a best time last night at rockingham of 14.1 with a 1.2 something R/T (yup I was sleeping at the light) and mad wheelspin through 1st gear.  if I coulda hooked up 13.9 would have been easy.  gotta work on my launches but I dont like Drag racing all that much so i doubt it'll get that much better.

Well the KA is nice and torquey, but it's a bunch of work if you want anything over 8 or so PSI. Better bet is to save up 4,500 and drop in the SR with some goodies.

ok thanks guys what would a turboed ka cost and if u can a 1/4 time maybe thanks

Turbo kit from f-max or nsport - ~$4000
Custom turbo kit put together for kinda cheap - ~$3200
Custom turbo kit if you are REALLY on a budget (eg say t3 instead of t3/t4) - ~$2500

Either way those will put you at arounf 240hp or something in very low 14s.

Here we go again...

This is all I'm sayin':

I have a '91 240sx with an S13 blacktop SR20.  I'm very pleased with it.  I've seen people go mid-high 12's with S13 SR20's, stock turbo.  I like SR20's.  

That's all I'm saying.
