the KA was also in the 240's. I had the japanese Silvia engine imported and dropped in (a 240 is the american Silvia) the KA is pretty torquey. Put out like 160 or so at the crank. I haven't dynoed the car yet, but from what other people are putting down at the wheels with my mods, I should be in the 185-190 RWHP region.
SR's are chosen because of popularity. I ended up getting it cause of the bore/stroke reason. It's a smoother engine and it's set up better than a KA for turbo charging. Direct coil on plug ignition, side feed injectors, factory forged components, etc.

So an american sr20det is a different engine than the japanese version? I do know that a 240sx is just the american version of the Silvia . I was pretty sure that my g20 had a sr20det....non-turbo of course. So from what I gather is that nissan just makes 2 versions of this engine...one turbo'ed the other n/a?

2 off topic questions arent that bad for these forums! Besides not one person has supplied the times slips the original poster was asking for anyways...as usual he just got a bunch of hypothetical answers. 
but you're right didnt mean to go so far off topic here!
