that's a totally open-ended question.

it depends on what you use the engine for, how hard you push it, and what mods you make to it.

if you have a 400hp KA that you use on the track every weekend and push it to it's limits, it'll obviousley break earlier then a 200hp SR that you only use on the track once a month. it all depends on the conditions.

Uhm, NO. When you rebuild an engine to stock specs, you bring it back to STOCK specs. You dont GAIN 10% in power, you just get back all that power that you didnt have due to worn components, poor compression, etc. That means if your motor used to produce 150HP, and your motor is worn and only producing 130.. you should expect to produce 150 again, once your motor is rebuilt.

people say when they rebuild an entire engine back to new, it feels like a 10% increase in power... so you defintely gain a few HP just by doing some maintenace. I dunno about just a rebuilt stock head if that would add any power though.

All of the 240's that i have seen for sale lately have had well ove 100k miles. And doing a turbo upgrade is not the best idea for high mileage, so if I were to pick between the 2 for a swap, I would go with the sr20det due to the fact that i am a jdm freak and i like the silvia approach.
