Lets do this in one post CA is the best because of its iron block its super tough. Its the worst because it has limited aftermarket parts and it’s almost a million years old. SR is the best because it is the bestest engine ever made. Worldwide aftermarket support and huge potention. It’s also a piece of shit because Nissan cheaped out when making it. KA is the best because ‘no replacement for displacement.’ It sucks cause its meant for hauling around mexicans in the back of pickup trucks and its redline is 1500rpm. End of discussion. ---

Observations of which I have no actual facts to back up… SR is supposedly cooler than the KA so eveyone wants to get rid of their KA. Result is cheap supply of KAs. Forced induction on a cheaper and larger displacement KA has, generally speaking, more HP than the smaller displacement SR and the CA notwitstanding rev limit. Boosted KA ends up being cheaper than swapped SR or CA so ya get more power per dollar. Reliability? Boosted KA or SR or CA? Parts for KA much easier to get and for less money than SR and CA parts. I have no effen clue if anything I just said is BS or not. I don’t have a KA, SR or CA. ---

(yes, wheel hp, not crank.) We knew this motor was making good power, but those kinds of numbers are literally unheard of on a bone stock motor with so little done to it. Good turbo size, and good tuning appear to be the key to this powerplant’s huge numbers. "**_ Says it all. 🙂 ---

It all depend on personal preference. There are many pro’s of each motor and anyone can explain them. It takes a real man to list the cons of theirs. so Cons’ KA- inablility to rev SR- Shitty valvetrain design, alloy block. CA- old motor RB- Not heavier but the weight is more forward OVER the front wheels. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ca-vs-sr-vs-ka-vs/141180.md?page=2)
