cheap, reliable, SR. Pick 2.
Parts availability is not an issue. Neither is finding the info to do the swap yourself. If you do a lot of reading up on the subject and spend a few bucks on a quality motor and preventative maintenance parts, you should have little to no problems. It's the people who buy $1500 motors and drop them in without changing the oil that have problems.

synthetic oil for SRDET? I thought those were bad for the seals on the turbo.
I actually have more problems with my SR than my KA.
Id say if you're low on the budget, I'd go with KA. If it blows up, spend $400 for a KA motor, unlike the SR for $1k.
