Dude u got to buy the USED SR 1st for like $2000 or more then buy the same stuff/supporting mods as the kA anyway and at that point they will both make and handle 400whp except the KA will have about 1000km`s or less so do the math bra… ^^^^ please read b4 you post stuff out of of ignorance. what you fail to realize is that there are a large number of succesful ka-t owners …obviously not in canada because its SR land but in the U.S where guys love big displacement. I personally owned a 400+whp ka-t with NO issues what so ever up til i went with the 2jz motor so i know what im talking about. “its easy, go to google and type “blown sr” then type “blown ka”. Whichever has less items wins…” its a no brainer to acknowledge that most people (1)boost bonestock high mileage ka`s so what do you expect ,(2)SR`s became very popular in north america in the last 5 years or so and (3) the dudes that drop in sr`s are still on the stock t25/t28 so why the hell should the sr blow. how many 350whp street sr`s do u know of on SON or in canada.just a handful or 2… Alot of people drop in SR`s because its convenient, it can be done in a driveway in a couple days with no tuning involved a true bolt on start n go swap which is perfect for all the school boys/guys on a tight budget looking for 200-250hp LOL so dont get it twisted… when you build a ka-t properly it takes determination and time (sometime u got to get a spare long block)then order parts, assemble them, then as soon as its installed its got to be tuned. Let me fill you in on a secret when i was ka-t i was on a [jwt tuned ecu running 15psi] i ran my buddy numerous times with a AEM TUNED sr that dynoed 357whp @15psi… i won everytime with identical mods.so my point is if some1 is willing to give the ka a fair chance more power to them LITERALLY lol…NO RANT HERE JUST FACTS --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sr-black-top-turbo-or-ka-turbo/122346)._
