Can you explain the pros & cons to both & also how would I know if what I have or am looking at is open or closed without pulling it apart?

That's up to your research. I'm not sure if the sr or rb is open or closed.
Main differences are cooling (open) vs strength (closed). Although that theory is highly debated.

Well thank you for bringing this up as I now learnt something new & without lurking =)! As a daily driver which would be best? I assume open for cooling? As heat will kill engine faster? |

Unless your building an engine for 500+ whp or 24hour lemons lapping days it really doesn't matter.

If we're talking stock as in using it stock with no modifications the sr20de has more top end power. however, the ka24de has more torque. parts for either are generally fairly cheap. ka's moreso around here as their more common. now price wise you can build a ka24de-t or but a sr20det for much less. sr20's in general are a more common preformance engine, where as people just throw away a ka for an sr. The sr has power, it has a reputation, its common, its easy. But in the end it all depends what you want out of the engine. also ive heard of people running ka's on some pretty retarded boost pressures. For a daily driver & not track what would you recommend to build as a fun build. If you want it to daily get a ka24. why? because their stupid cheap, why spend money to swap the engine if you just want it as a dd? ka24de cheap generally the same ammount of "fun" to build as an sr. /thread |

So I'm in luck there. |
