This should be posted in either "Chat" or "Tech Talk" not the FAQ/Archive. SR is the most popular engine swap, some like the RB, others turbo their KA.
Check

for more information.

Please post in the appropriate forum in the future.

Unless your KA24E has REALLY low miles, go SR. &nbsp;It'll be cheaper and Faster in the long run AND short run. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I agree with the chimp & DSC you will enjoy the performance of a SR I have a black Top and a Red top and I love them both. I have not used a mechanic yet because they are very easy to work on. (I am somewhat of a Mechanic though) You will like the SR-20DET Red or Black. Go for it.

a little porting and shaving with quad throttle bodies/ carbs and a 240+hp KA24E isn't unrealistic.... if swapping seems daunting.

Ace,I just never thought porting and shaving a 100k ka was never a good idea IMO <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

how about turbocharging a 116k mile KA??? &nbsp;mileage doesn't matter as much if you know the car's been well taken care of.
