545i’s are sick shit. I would kill a 5 year old for one. Eeh… Sorry for going off topic 😃 But yea, KA vs SR has been beaten to death, everyone has their own opinion and I’ve seen some amazing cars with both powerplants under the hood. If you ask me… RB25 is where it’s at 😉 ---

Yea if i had the money i’d go RB and i’d change the car to AWD… I have to admit that AWD is my first love, then RWD. the 545 is decievingly fast… I step one the gas, nothing happen for a second and then i was thrown into the back of my seat… Got to love that. I think another reason for loving torque is just driving too many hondas… ugh. ---

> [@DETS14](#): > > If were talking Flywheel hp, 300 is easily attained by a relatively stock sr swap. The same goodies you would want for your KA-T to reach 220whp on low boost (and you really cannot up the boost too much on a stock KA) would be the same for an sr20. Remember a STOCK sr20det with STOCK boost already has 50HP and 50 lb/ft tq on a KA, and thats worth a little something. Nevermind the fact that the sr can handle 14lbs of boost from the little t25. I don’t know for sure, but 14 psi on a stock KA motor with high compression, wouldn’t seem like the right thing to do. Voila, mod for mod, the SR will come out with more power, and at the same cost or less. Correct me if im wrong, I believe with all the effort and time that some people would take to rebuild their KA, it would be cheaper or at least the same amount to do an sr swap. Its all personal preferance tho, ill keep my sr. I don’t like engines that redline at 6250 rpm, and struggle to get their once they go past 5500. I dont like motors that run out around 7500, and have valve float… Doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have more pontential then the next guys… ---

Heh, that’s just auto lag, the throwing back would happen a lot sooner if you forced it to downshift. I think they come in tiptronic(which is still slow as shit, but a teeny tiny bit better than plain auto, imo), so you can use downshift before you boot it and get a better effect. As to AWD… I dunno… AWD is okay, better than FF, but I’d go with FR/MR any day. P.Ruddy - nobody was saying parts for the KA don’t exist, they’re just not as numerous, not as readily available and not as cheap. Those sites you posted, aren’t much proof of the opposite. ---

KAT all the way…no way would i go with a smaller displacement motor…the torque is what hauls yuor arse out of the corners… i have driven them both and been on the track with both…KAT hands down… if you want this summer lapping i will bring my KAT out and you can bring a few SR’s out and we can see how they compare 🙂 i know my KAT…driven it for years now against some very fast cars…unless you are packing a supercar…you might as well go home thats a fact ---

next year i will be ditching the KAT most likely for a new small block 427 race motor …yes small block… i think in the long run thats a better way to go IMO ---

Solarian, Since when were ka-t parts more expensive and harder to source then sr parts… Anyways, both engines are good, I’ve been in some fast ka-ts and some fast SRs, any engine can produce high hp with enough money. ---

> [@ADAM](#): > > bahh no one wants to bicker ? > > 🙂 What’s there to bicker about? Big snarly v8’s are where it’s at 🙂 High Hp and much lower stress on the engine compared to a high boost turbo aplication. ADAM, I say you should do a new gen Z06 headlight conversion on the 240 😃 ---
