Well this is pointless.

The fa20 will make and hold more power much easier than a sr20. I daily drive at up to 460whp if you don't believe me.

As far as moneyis concerned look at my build thread. Tires, wheels, springs, big brake kit, gtx28 full blown turbo kit with lots and lots of dyno time on ecutek racerom, clutch flywheel, oil cooler, fuel system!, gauges, custom pan...blah blah blah...11,000 dollars. Daily driven at 450+whp

The sr20 is heavy. Also good luck getting the transmission to fit into this car.

Good luck getting the can bus system to work. Alot of shops are trying to figure this out now with ls swaps. Most swapped cars have no factory gauge clusters or body control ecu.

If you really want a swap use an ls or a 1uzfe v8. But it will be a gutted track car until someone figures out the canbus system. They are both lighter than a sr20 and are more reliable. Sr 20 s are long outdated and the beloved 2jz is next in line. Boost the fa20 will be alot cheaper even with a built bottom end. But then again FBM did make 600 Hp on a stock bottom end. And considering short blocks are 2,000 brand new I'll just put another stock one in if it breaks.
