> how and where are u gonna get parts for regular maintence, let alone performance shit. and what is the dollar per horsepower compared to other engine setup’s. i would love to drop in a ca but it’s shit like that which holding me back, the what if factor

Regular maintenance items from 88 Pulsar and s12 200sx, mostly. Performance stuff mostly from sr20det - elbow, downpipe, intercooler, turbo etc. Dollar for horsepower its better than a sr20det, but nothing beats the ka lol.  
KA - $500/155 = $3.22 per hp  
CA - $1400/175 = $8 per hp  
SR - $2000/205 = $9.75 per hp  
& those are using the highest prices for the ka or ca but average sr price.
