older gt cars made around 325 hp n/a if i remember right, it was the sohc though. not at all streetable, probably idles really high, has to be rebuilt often, not feasable for daily driver.
SR 20 has a huge aftermarket, lots of following, and every opportunity to make a ton of power if you have the money.
ka has a much smaller aftermarket, making parts harder to come by, especially those that are really high quality, so most of the stuff you will buy is going to be custom, sometimes costing more than the same part for a sr20 because of the fact that its custom.
youre talking about building a bulletproof engine, doing all this crap yourself, but you haven't said anything about what your goals are. you said something about 3 liters, why? And then you say response? Basically you're going to bore the engine beyond its limits and then make your own crankshaft? I hope i read that wrong. You also talk about youre going to do your own machining, i'm not saying that you can't but where are you going to get this done? Who taught you how to do it? That kind of stuff takes some pretty hardcore machines to balance the engine correctly. You never once mention tuning, but say youre going to make a bulletproof engine. Tuning is the most important part of that. You can stuff whatever forged parts, pistons, rods, crank whatever, if you don't tune, it will blow up. there are ka engines with nothing but head gaskets and pistons, running 400 hp or more. Just takes the right tuning. I think you should run around the NICO forums and take it all in. I think there is still a lot of stuff you don't know, and if you do, share it with the rest of us.
If you really want 3 liters, get a RB.
