hey man, i'm not trying to **** you off or insult what you are doing. i already said i think its cool. for me, the sr20 will be cheaper but i actually would prefer what you are doing. when i said "not worth it", i meant the nsport kit + ecu upgrade (already $4800 at only 6 or 7 psi). when you're doing the sr20 swap, you dont necessarily need all of those things, either. I'm looking at 3 grand for the swap/clutch/flywheel. yeah it will be stock, but it'll be faster than what i have now. and it'll be ready for tuning when i get more money.

i'm not an advocate of boostin MY ka. but when i see others boostin and layin down power i can't help but get the power bug.
if you take precautions and strengthen that engine. you'll kill some things out there.
thin about it. almost a half liter of displacement and torque to burn. we all know the KA wont rev to honda status but the mid range with boost will be enough to propel yo ***.
back to the future flames and ****

maybe i'm just reading your posts wrong. if i am then disregard the following.
stop being a ****ing ***. i'm cool with what you're doing. is it too much to ask for you to keep your mouth shut about what i'm planning on doing?
the SR20 is a popular enough swap that you can get parts here in the US.

Another counter point might be that at 7 psi, the KA will be making around as much power as the stock SR.

i've heard of guys killin it in KA-T's.
but with a stage two kit all you;ll get on a stock bottom end is as much as a stock SR.
now don't get me wrong i'm not knockin the KA. it's just our KA needs a little coaxing to really make #'s
it can, look at this guy's
he's doin it
