Default SR20 love?

Seems I run across a number of posts here with guys mentioning that they're current or previous SR20 owners?

So who's got what?

This is a recent pic of my NX2000. Dig the stealthy boost gauge.

Heres what I had... I had to sell it when I moved. It was fun, but seem to be very touchy when tuning it. And when i sold it it sounded like a suby do to bad plugs.

we all know that the ca18 is a descendant of god himself and perfect in everyway from its cast iron block to its aluminum head. Similar in design to the rb series engine with 2 less cylinders, this motor is bulletproof and was only phased out due to its high production cost. It was replaced by a far inferior aluminum block 2 litre engine with 1 cam lobe contolling 2 valves making it noisier and unable to rev as high as the ca.

I'm a KA guy myself. I never understood spending all that money on an engine when there was a perfectly good one in the car.

I turbo'd my KA when it had 175k miles on it and put down 200whp and 220wtq everyday with no problems. All for less money than you could buy an sr20.
