Correct and the SR is a motor that is used in various Nissans. (i.e 200SX SER, NX2000, Silvia, etc)
The only SR motor that is rear wheel drive is the one out of the Silvia either a black top or a red top, both of which are turbo from factory pushing anywhere from 210 to 250hp.

oooooohhhhhh you must live in one of those terrible places where you have to hide your car for a few months, while you freeze your balls off 
No! I live in Florida. I dont "hide" my car for the winter months. It is just that for the past week we got hit with a cold front and its been between 37 - 42 in the morning. The flowers by my house are drooping and dying off in the cold spell. 
Thanks for worrying about me though...

What are your goals? Is this a fast show car, a performance-track car, a performance-drag car?
Assuming you don't want >>500whp, I'd just set a power goal and go FI. At these power levels you'll need to invest a lot more money to do an engine swap correctly with a 2JZ or LSx than for a comparable power output FI system.
And if you haven't found this yet, your clutch and likely your differential will need to be upgraded (regardless of the engine) to handle the higher power output somewhere around 400whp, depending on how you want to drive it. If you want to drop the clutch at the drag strip, you'll probably need to upgrade the transmission too at this power level.
Unless you really have a unique passion and a fat wallet or are doing it for show-type purposes, if you buy a car for half its MSRP and then put a new engine, tranny, and drivetrain, you probably bought the wrong car. At that point, you should really consider just buying a roller and fiberglassing the body, S2000 or otherwise. And post LOTS of pictures for us!! You'll have half the weight and *MUCH* better performance.
If you want an S2000 that will mash you into your seat when you floor it, talk to InlinePro--they can get your power up through the sky. InlinePro ran a 9 second 1/4 mile without an engine swap. And honestly, if you want it faster on the strip, you really should just buy a different car that makes cheaper power.
On the track the heat from the turbo will probably not allow you to run it for extended periods without some additional work, but for street use, it would work great. You can get about 400whp supercharged and it appears trackable, but I'm not sure if it's been tested thoroughly. If you want more than that on the track, buy a C6 and a few mods. You'll do much better.
