I would get a SR20DET over a KA-T just for the simple fact that I pay the same price for a good motor drop it in the car in a day and drive the **** out of it without having to worry instead of spending the money on doing a KA-T and taking forever to tune it, then buying all the aftermarket **** that I need for it to run correctly and then take it easy the first couple hundred miles... when it comes down to it, the SR20DET is a better bang for the buck.. unless you want the bad BANG, then you can go blow up as many KA-Ts as you want lol.. and thats the bottom line there is no arguing to it
yea you're right, KA's do run forever as long as you do routine and preventive maintenance and if you go Turbo if you have a very good tune and drive conservatively it'll last.. but so will any motor so it's just a factor of who's bandwagon is longer.... but in the end, unless you build up the internals the KA-T Chart stays like this...
Fast
Reliable
Cheap
pick two.
Fast and Reliable... won't be cheap on the wallet.
Reliable and Cheap.. won't be fast.
Cheap and Fast.. won't be reliable.
240SicknessX has a KA-T and he's put almost 10k miles since he's gone turbo... if you want to argue with anyone about KA-T start with him

hahah PERFECT ****ing line....SR's are for people that have money and just want to be jdm tite....why get rid of a motor thats perfectly fine and even better turbocharged? Its cheaper and makes more power, Unreliable pfff the ka can take w/e you throw at it....reason why people blow up ka-t's are crappy tuning, ****y parts....boosting wayyyy to much....it mainly comes down to poor tuning...
