then there are the kind of people who get the SR20 just to get it.... what you don't think kids don't have money to do that? hahahahah man where I come from most parents buy their kids BMW m3's and shit for their first cars... i come from the other side of the tracks tho.


sorry but I will never envy a lil 4 cylinder motor... cause after all it is only 4 cylinders in the grand scheme of things

now if u had some fuel injected 427 big block chevy built up Id be jealous as shit! muhahaha

I see what your saying but not calling the SR20 an upgrade is just retarded. I think people are obsessed with the SR20 because of all the misinformation going around. Most people buy the SR because Its been beaten in to them that the SR is better in every condition.

Either way Ive seen way to many KAs make themselfs a crankcase breather bigger than my head to ever want one.

Im not Jealous of Huge Displacement / Pushrod / Supercharger engines just because I know that somewhere in 1960 there was someone making the same power from the same setup. Plus Im a fan of effiecent things... which stupid big roots blowers could never be mistaken for

People who want a better engine...get a better engine. It doesn't matter if it is an SR20 going into a 240SX. Pe9ople who diss the Sr20 are generally just SR20 enviers who are secretly wishing they had what they can't get. (note that I said generally)

So you think that I'm a SR20 jealous?? Dude I could do the swap this month if I really wanted to, its not that I dont like performance of a car I would love having alot of power in the engine of my 240, I'm not sure though if its worth spending $3000 on a 2.0L
But back to S15 conversions how many people do you know with sr20's and how many people do you know that has an s15 front end. I have people everyday ask me what kind of car it is because they have never seen an S15 and the car itself looks exotic, and now if there is a some rich bastard puts S15 headlights on their chevy or whatever that would be a disgrace for an S15.
I would own one right now if they were legal in US.

NOBODY that I know of would DREAM of getting an SR20 JUST to be cool. THAT is totally assinine. The SR is a quality engine and it is light and potentially an awesome source of power. Where I live it is the engine of choice due to those factors. MANY are swapping out RB20s for the smaller SR. I would have an SR20 over ANY 4 cylinder engine or 6 cylinder under 2.5 liter displacement. (I do live in Japan, though, and they are a dime a dozen here.)
