QUOTE (Kwanza26 @ Dec 12, 2008 - 9:29 PM)  Plain and simply, the K20 has a far better lift system, is an under-tuned motor from the factory, is a bigger motor, and a squared motor. It makes more torque than the average 2.0 liter, makes significantly more horsepower, and is under-tuned to boot (10 whp from a CAI!!!), not to mention in stock trim, can reliably hold revs over 9000 rpms. There aren't any real negative sides to the K20 as a tuning motor... whereas the 2ZZ does. The 2ZZ, you could argue is also under-tuned... but it's not so much under-tuned as it is poorly tuned to make horsepower during lift. That's why guys with standalone computers and piggybacks can make so much more power. In a head to head comparison however, the difference maker is the displacement. The 2ZZ will always make a bit less torque, therefore a bit less horsepower. Also, the 2ZZ still uses a bucket system, which typically isn't as efficient for high revs. High revs is the only way these guys are gonna make power. That being said, I would pick the K20 over the BEAMS easy. Hell, I'd pick the 2ZZ over the BEAMS because the 2ZZ can still be tuned up, while the BEAMS is a highly tuned motor from the factory. The beams does have a nice shiny red valve cover though... damn i didnt know that...i feel like a dummy now...10whp just from a CAI!! damnn! im still leaning towards the s14 right now, but if that doesnt work im def getting an RSX-S! thanks man |

The US got that shocking 2.4 thing which goes about as fast as a golf cart! |

When I asked him that question I was asking if the car was swapped or not. I know that the US spec s14 came with the KA24 and the JDM silvia came with the sr20

mrgrapes why not just post when you actually got the car instead of the debate of getting one or the other cause you change your mind more than a woman changes clothes.

He wouldn't be worth an R8...now, plenty of stupid people have smashed up Enzo's, so that could be doable.
