Ka-t or SR?

Should I go ka-t or sr? (Assumes a shop will do the work)

  1. If you have a high mileage ka you had better consider a rebuild: $700 to pull and replace the motor, $1500 for machine shop labor, parts (pistons $400, rods $400, new water pump $50, oil pump $250, head gasket $200, head studs $150, etc.)

  2. ka-t ecu tuning $500 from jwt or enthalpy

We’re currently at $4150.

  1. New t3/t4 Turbo $400, intake $50, rev hard manifold $150, down pipe $150, ssac exhaust $250, ebay FMIC $250, deatschwerks 550cc injectors $250, radiator $300, boost gauge $100, turbo timer $75

total $6125

SR:

  1. Front clip from a low mileage 180sx $2400, labor $750,

  2. greddy down pipe $125, ebay fmic $250, intake $50, radiator $300, boost gauge $100, turbo timer $75, ssac exhaust $250,
