The SR20 is an ODB1 engine, and just plain old now (the newest example is over 14 years old now). I can understand the swaps like the 2JZ where they get 900bhp and crazy torque, but even then, they're both really old engines.
Because its still one of the best 4 cylinders around, especialy when you put a VVEL head on it. And they were produced till August 2002 in the S15 and the SR20VET was in production till 2008.
