the best motor would be a SR20 type there are several types out there ,
they are very light motor, weighs less than the U20, so it will improve
handling also. I have one in my 92 sentra ser and the factory tac goes to
9000 RPM ! the damn thing will rev to 8 grand and no vibration. there is
sr20 in Japan that has 205 HP and a 6 speed Trans.
not as cheap as a L20b though,,, but you know the saying "you want to play
you got to pay"
