I have both a turbo SOHC and a DOHC and honesty I can't really tell any difference other then the SOHC has a turbo twice as big. I'm a big believer in the KA. The draw back with the SR I see is if you want more then say 210 +/- WHP you are pretty much replacing all the turbo componets on the SR. The KA does have weaker pistons so you have to be careful tuning not to get to crazy with the timing. Put enough boost to either and it will be You have 240's x2

how big is ur turbo on ur single cam and how many psi's are you boosting? and your dual cam? i've always thought the same with the KA..and the SR swap is really common..not all the time do you see a KA-T.

The SOHC has a Precission 6776S (big T3/T4) with a 76mm compressor side with a 4" in 2.5" out. I usally run about 13 PSI on it. The DOHC is a T25, since I just got it done and working out the kinks it's about 5-6 PSI. KA-T is something alittle different. Whenever I drive it anywhere I always get asked "is that a SR" and tell them KA they look confussed lol.

^ Have you tried RB20 swap? I heard those motors are a lot more durable than the SR20 or KA.

I've never played with any RB's but I've heard good things as well. The prices on RB20's is very tempting. I know someone that has one is a S14 and it sounds AWSOME and revs like a sportbike.

Would you happen to be talking about someone from Baltimore and has a black S14?

nah her G is a couple and it's a 2004. The problem is it's an automatic!!! She wanted to get manual at the time but we just couldn't find a red one with black interior and manual within our price range. So we settled with one that's automatic but fits all the other criteria! No need to get a beater since she drives like 2 minutes to school and work! I dunno what she's talking about. I'm the one driving 90 miles a way!

hmmm...did you do all this work yourself or have someone else do it? I guess everyone assumes turbo charged 240's are SR's..theyre common..but i don't understand the confused faces they'd give you LOL
