Indeed the SR engines are chainbelts and you shouldn't have to change them at all 
Gotta keep the chain covers (What you'd normally call a cambelt cover) on, as its sealed to prevent atmospheric changes (moisture content etc) doing damage to the chain and the chain lube.

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

The SR's seem to be good though. It's only something you'd notice if you were keeping an ear out for it.

just a heads up before you start tweeking the sr20 get a new sump
they tend to run big end bearings because the oil washes away from the pick up with increased g forces

I personally prefer belt driven over chains, if you ever need to remove the cam chain at any stage you will know how much of a c**t of a job it is rather than just slipping off a belt...

cheers, though ill keep the tweek'n to the 4agze, but then, sometimes its abit hard to keep things standard,
and i dont think theres too much worry about g-forces with the wagon
But yeah, i know what u mean, ill be doing that with my 4a next time its out

At least with an SR you ain't gonna need to remove the chain for much, other than camshafts.
