- 3" flowbench tested downpipe w/ o2 sensor bung installed
- 38mm External Wastegate
- 2.25" Stainless Steel Intercooler Charge Pipes (Short Routed)
- Custom built intercooler w/ extruded Garrett Core 24" X 6" x 2.75"
- 25mm Recirculating Blow off Valve or 35mm Atmospheric
- Stainless Oil Feed, Return, fittings and weld-on bung for oil pan
- Air Intake Filter w/ Maf Adapter
- All Silicone Boots
- Boost Designs top-feed fuel rail
- RC Engineering 52lb injectors
- RC Engineering clips for injectors
- Aeroquip fuel feed and return lines and fittings
- Fuel pressure regulator
- Walbro 255lph fuel pump
- Clutch Specialities 6-puck Stage 3 clutch w/ sprung center, dual pressure plate diaphragm, throwout bearing and pilot bushing and alignment tool. It is good for 550 ft.lbs of torque
- Factory rods shotpeened and balanced good for 450 rwhp (core charge extra)
- 9:1 forged pistons with rings, wrist pins and clips
- ENTHALPY TUNED ECU S14
or i can pick up an sr20det for about $2500
just trying to make the final decision and thought i would get everyone's input.

In my opinion: <300whp = ka-t
>300whp = sr
insane whp = RB26

Maybe there is a reason for that...

More fuel to the fire: SR has oil squirters, KA has an iron block, RB has both.
Then again, how often do you see the SR block fail? yeah

Re: KA-T or SR20DET
hey thats the back of my truck! haha
if you go with your 4,000 ka setup, you'll have about 400-450rwhp or should limit yourself to that on stock rods.
if you spent 4,000 to get and then modify and sr youre only gonna be in the 300 range unless you find some really cheap parts and can do your own labor. a requirement for the sr20 to go bigger power is bigger turbo, FMIC, bigger injectors, ecu tune. those 4 things are nearly 2500$ alone.
if money is a problem, then go SR swap and gradually upgrade.
