(wonderful.. new forum, and already an SR vs. KA thread. lol)


ok... KA and SR are Different breeds of engine. There are VERY few similarities. I personally feel the SR is better for road race type purposes b/c of the high redline. KA is better for straight line drag b/c of Displacement and Torque.

Think about when the engines were built and who for. The japanesse are into road racing, and drifting, etc. Applications which like High RPMS. Americans in the Early 90's where seen as Drag racers. (or at least that's how the japanese probably looked at the market.) To appeal to the V8 torque loving americans, they gave us a Big displacement 4 cyl w/ lots of torque. They were designed for DIFFERENT PURPOSES. Both have their good points, and Bad.
