It truly doesn't matter which SR you go with, either engine is fully capable. Drifting is about technique not power.

Noticeable difference of what exactly?

If your ka24 has only 9,000 miles and it has been rebuilt then you should start out drifting with that.

yeah

if you only have 9k miles on the ka24de then why dont you just make it a
ka24det??

thats what im doing instead of burning countless holes in my wallet throwing a SR under my hood trying to get a guy to illegal smog it then you have to build it...

just too much money imo, id rather fully build the ka24de, stage 3 internals with a badass turbo kit.

thats more than enough power to drift, shit i can drift in my 200 thousand mile 1993 240sx...

just like the other guy said drifting is all technique and not power....

you could stick with the KA for now, but it probably won't last super long, even with a 9k rebuild. you're going to need a rev happy engine seeing as you're going to keep it in the high rev range a lot. CA18DET is also a good rev happy engine to consider.
