the sr20de is a great motor, but not very powerful.
the only real advantages to swapping that motor in, are more reliability than the ka, and a much smoother motor.
and its very easy to turbo them with someone elses throw away parts.

i dont really get this thread.


you dont NEED a turbo to drift, and you dont NEED alot of othjer stuff besides a car, a steering wheel, and a driver.
everything else just makes it easier, more predictable, safer and more fun.

i would much rather have the control of an NA rather than a turbo. when you're revving around 5k 6k and you let off the gas, when you mash the gas again, you know exactly how much power will be applied to the wheels.

in a turbo, all the power is lost when you let off the gas. when you mash the gas again, the power isn't instantly there, boost needs to be built up again.

NA's are potent and have a much more stable powerband.

you dont really understand what youre talking about.
if n/a was best, then 95% of the top drifters would run n/a instead.
depending on turbo size, and other factors, the drop off is barely noticeable.

when you've driven a turbo all your life and you first jump into an NA, it's a comletely different feel.

i don't know how it applies to drifting, but when it comes to control over the power of the motor, i'm right.

**edit** i never said NA's were the best, just that i would rather have one

Agreed, I run a single cam KA because I can't afford a better motor (and I like the SOHC) and I can hang with SR cars all day. Don't think that the motor makes all that much of a difference. Well...when you get up in high third gear you start seeing a difference ;-(
