the whole ka-t debate comes down to built and tuned properly.. with a good tune and timing backed down to a safe lvl the ka-t is a great reliable motor.. not to mention.. CHECK THE MOTOR BEFORE YOU TURBO IT!! no high miles.. compression test it and make sure it has a min of 160 on each cylinder.. but to each his own

got em... welcome to 1999.... the car looked like that since 1998.. The size of turbo > size of half the motor.... It was so big, i moved the brake booster / master cyl to the front of the engine bay
1.9 L CA with too much work done to even remember. Running a E6K.

I have been around Nissan motors since forever. My first SR swap was in like 1997....... Had every kind of motor apart since then. 200 rwhp is great on a turbo KA... Thats like 5 psi. It would make like 220 tq and feel wonderful... and put CA's to shame at that level.
You guys need to look into FJ20DET .... this is the king of all motors.. twin cam, iron block.. incredible head design.. completely forged bottom end factory... all this in 1980... fuel injected too.. This is the godfather of all performance turbo 4 cyl motors.

You can put KA heads on L20's i believe for crossflow as well.. or are they crossflow from the factory? I dont' remember, but i've seen full race L20's going for $10k even today.
You can't even sell a fully built TURBOCHARGED SR for $10k, yet L20 club racers will pay it all day long!!!!!

I read, I'm poor, I went sr
I like ka-t for the diy appeal even did one with the help of art, jeff240sx, presidenshul (sp)
the ca I have always viewed as a problem engine and the cheapness of getting one does not overwiegh its reliability.
