All engine depots have their problems, but I've heard good things about phase2motortrend. There are a few blacktops. The S14 and S15 blacktops, or notchbacks, make the most power since the both have T28 turbos, but they're a little more expensive.

CORN DOG- SR20's are aluminum blocks.

LOL was thinking Mitsu evo motors 4G63 LOL dam brain fart
yes all SR Engines are aluminum block.

Wait. 4G63s are iron blocks? I thought they were Al...

Sr is easy as shit, TONS of aftermarket support, makes great power (300 rwhp with a few bolt ons and a tune), reliable, and inexpensive. Definately the way to go imo.
I just finished a s14 ka24de swap in a s13 today.

it seems like the OP doesnt want easy, He wants to be "different" RB25's are common now, 1Jz not so much. LS V8's are common in driffting/racing and some NA VQs are roaming around.

Built + ported head on a SR + bigger turbo fuel etc nets you 400 Wheel HP with no need to open the block.

i guess its all preference @ this point??

This is actually kind of an old thread so the OP probably already found a swap lol.

I still stick with the advice that was given to me when I bought my S13. Just research the s*** out of all your engine options, find one that appeals to you, drop it in and pay no mind to how original the swap is. That's why I got the CA, not because it's the cheapest, because I actually like it.

**ideas** bad... ps that motor is fkin clean and sick setup!

If i had a 240, id do a QR25DET with 07 crank + fully built with a turbo good for 500WHP rev to about 7500 and have a original swap (never heard of a QR 240) and a motor i LOVE!!
my spec @ 15psi is fun as hell, @ 18 in 3rd feels scary!!
