Blacktop & Redtop, Same Block?

so your saying the red-top doesn't have oil squirters?

i believe redtops dont have oil squirters. I read somewhere that they dont. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Someother differences in the s13 and s14 sr20det is the s13 uses "low port" intake design and the s14 uses a "high port" design. Also the s14 has a bigger compressor than the s13 turbo.

The differences between the s13 blacktop and redtop are very minimal. I would get the s14 blacktop over the s13 even though the price is higher.
