i noticed that this is an antique question but it was always about the Ka24De not the SOHC (Ka24e) so is that better than SR20?  
personally, i dont think soo. becuase the money you use to buy a sr20det (around $3500 i think…) you can use to buy new KA Forged pistons and stuff with a turbo kit and have about 300hp with more torque. but i might be wrong so i need you guys opinion.
