SR20DET's are rattley, noisey, low revving boatanchors. I'd go a 4AGTE long before i'd go an SR20. Of course i'd do a 3SGTE before either on them but your budget won't stretch to that. The only good thing about an SR20 is that a turbo is strapped to the side and that's the only thing that save's it. In nearly all other regards it's a pretty ordinary engine i reckon...single row chain driven cams (jesus even 18RG's where double row), alloy block as heavy as a cast iron 3SGE, rocker arm cams, shit inlet manifold, prone to oil surge etc etc.
Just me 2 cents

not a fan obviously...
it's funny you mention the timing chain...that is the reason they are "noisy and rattly". most newer cars run belts (ala 4A) which means they are much quieter in operation. chains are much more reliable and yes the older engines ran a dbl row (my L18 in my 180B is a dbl row too). a single row timing chain is really all that's needed unless you've got really heavy duty valve springs and a high lift cam(s).
the alloy block is heavier because of the extra bracing and reinforcing nissan engineers decided would be a good idea. it would be a lot heavier (and weaker) if it were just a cast block with that much reinforcing.
and the inlet manifold...note how i mentioned the quad throttles from the GTiR? it's not like the manifold on the 4A is any better either, i'll bet you were thinking about a custom one on the 4A so why compare apples and oranges?
i'm a BIG fan of the 4AGTE and GZE and SR and CA but all engines have their strengths and weaknesses.
you have presented a very biased arguement in what was not meant to be a Nissan VS Toyota thread.
