The swap is impossible. A waste of time. But all who have done it are extremly sexy. ---

> [@syd\_mysta](#): > > Besides being the biggest HP boost for your dollar? Telling this to one of the first kat guys? Kae’s are good for turbos as well. If you looking just for the extra 5-10hp gain out of the DOHC its not worth it unless you have lots of time. I would buy a 91+ befor doing that swap if i wanted a DOHC kat really bad. ---

No body said anything about turboing. Sure it is alot of work unless your a S1DC boy where they do one of these every 2 weeks give or take a whole bunch of weeks. But 15hp and 15-20lb torque for $200 is a great price. I like it much better. Would I have swapped if I didn’t blow the SOHC? No. We all know you are one of the first. Or atleast they should know. Plus you live in Brampton. ---

So what is the major hold up doing this swap? I hear the alternator is one the distributor, the maf, what else? Asfar as the maf is concerned it doesnt matter if u use the kae or the kade does it? The alternater should work also. asfar as the distributor I think it could be spliced into the stock kae harness if you had the kade plug for it. Any thoughts?
