Just like the K series it was cheap and made good horsepower. These days the performance per$ is not worth it unless you already have one. There just wasn't many other 4cyl rwd engines as good.
S14 has larger coilpack galley with igniter, S15 is smaller in diameter and doesn't have igniter can't remember measurements but that's easiest way to visually check between the 2 notchtops
If the bearing shell spun then it's definitely damaged the crank and you will need to linish it. If it's just knocking slightly them you might get away with some fresh bearings.
@@JarrodWillemse there’s bits of metal found in the sump, I don’t know how bad it is yet because I’m pulling the upper half of the sump off, it is knocking, not on idle but around 2.5k rpm
Aside from Hondas K series engines, the sr20 still remains one of the best 4 cylinder engines for tuners. Which is crazy considering how old it is.

the fwd sr cars just dont get the love they deserve. ill never understand it! good vid!
Yeh i wanna get a GTIR!
Correction: 4:30 S13 SR blacktop never had VCT. The later S14 and S15 engines did.
Yes you are correct.
I certianly agree with whats said in this video. Ive been dealing with the SR20DETs(Gods Engine) most though. Ive got one in my S13 hatchback(200SX).
Happy you agree with the info! Thanks for watching.
Would love to find a video explaining and describing fwd sr manual transmissions, like the sr18 32v and sr20 32v etc etc.
Sounds interesting. I don’t have any experience in that department currently.
👍👍👍
Cheers
Not sure if I have the S15 or s14 Notch top/Black top, w/5speed, How would I find out?
S14 injectors should be purple, S15 should be red, brown or something in-between the two colors.

Mine spun a bearing🥲 I’m gonna sus out the damage to see if I can send it and replace the bearing
