what do you guys think of the pros and cons of the ka24det and ca18det.I don’t know much about ca18det but i heard the swaps aren’t to expensive and parts are cheap except most parts aren’t sold in the USA.And the Ka24det i know they are good on power but you need to do alot of tunning is this correct?Also can you turbo a KA24DE with out doing internal work.thanks

i am going to save your ass on this and lock it before people start to flame you…

there are infinite resources for both options.

i suggest you search on [KAT.org](http://KAT.org), Boost designs, FA, [Zilvia.net](http://Zilvia.net), nico boards and all the other places then ask more specific questions.
