labor alone on installing a turbo kit run around $1000 thats what i was told by my mechanic and to do all the other parts pistons cams rods you may as well rebuild the whole engine because the labor cost to put them in will run you as much to rebuild it. takes a very long time to take apart and engine and you are paying for every hour that goes by. ---

So you’re saying it will take $10,000 to make a KA perform the same as the all mighty, “race-ready” SR20? ---

if you want to rip, sr will make you love life, they are super reliable, not to say that ka’s are not. but that extra 50hp an sr has makes it all the worth having. the swap is straight forward, parts for sr are available. i think that ka’s are boring…unless you go ka-t but then enjoy poping your hood everyday to fix something. just cut the b/s and buy a sr.
