get s13, they make identical torque but s14 is at 4,800, while s13 is at 4,000. torque wins races, hp sells cars. notchtops are a joke ---

Wow some pwnage. If I remember correctly it’s a very small difference and the money you save buying S13 instead of S13 you can match the power if not gain more. I think the difference is the VTEC or VVTEC I don’t know what Nissan calls it.If you wanna build, S13. If you wanna run a stockish SR S14 is beautiful. All this from a friend of a friend of a friend… ---

I Figured people bought blacktops cause they’re newer engines, easier to find low mileage hence, more reliable? ---

the Varible Valve Timing only really interfers with internal upgrades (i.E. cams, ect.) but the GT28 turbo almost seems like a bargin with the s14 notchy u spend like an extra 500-1000 for a turbo upgrage that would run you 1500 later… alot of upgrade parts are harder to find for the s14 i.e. rocker stoppers but u cant really say either is better… SASHA had a notch top irc… IDK mang, its your car. your motor. yourchoice… id go with a s13 blacktop just cause im going for a gt30 so i could afford to save the extra coin. ---

> [@FS: Yokohama tires](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-yokohama-tires/16428/9): > > Hamilton, the new Kitchener/Waterloo. HAHA… Yeah S14 engines are a joke, they only make 20hp more so the money must not be worth it. Lets see… Newer engine & trans = more reliable BB S14 turbo = better response & more power potential VVT = awesome torque But hey Ive got an S14 SR so I must be biased. ---

low port is better for low end torque, but high port is better for end up torque/hp. You decide.
