## Caption

The SR20DET built legends, but legends don't always age well in the real world.

This engine powered the golden era of affordable JDM tuning when S13s were $3k and parts were everywhere. But now? You're paying premium prices for 30-year-old tech while better options sit right next to it.

→ Why it earned legendary status originally
→ The harsh reality of ownership costs today
→ Modern alternatives that outperform for less
→ The only scenarios where it still makes sense

Save this before you get caught up in the nostalgia tax on your next build.
