dude, this is like the ultimate argument....
now for argument 4:
coupes are so much better than hatches

Under_Control said:My $.02 on the ka vs sr...
I dont understand why anyone would want to downgrade from a 2.4 to a 2.0...? as we all know the rule is "no replacement for displacement". The sr has a horrible head design and a sorry valvetrain. this has already been proven countless times.While the Ka has its weaknesses as well, the motor came with a beefy bottom end, oil squirters for every piston, iron block, factory forged rods, and 95+ came with forged pistons.
The Ka motor is begging for a turbo...!
in the end...
Sr20 = aluminum block, aluminum head, 2.0L
Ka24 = Iron block, aluminum head, 2.4L
^^I dont see a logical reason to swap in an sr20 other then wanting to be JDM TYTE!!! DRIFTER X.!!11!!

2.2 over-bore is a little big (not b/c of block strength but the head might have to have extensive work done to take advantage of the 90mm pistons).

it would be ideal i guess if you were to combine the charictoristics of the sr and ka. But the ideal engine layout is varible dependant on the application.
are you talking about only boring a sr to a 2.2l? or having an entirely different engine built with a median rod stroke ratio arriving at a 2.2l displacement?
