so you wish to pay 1300$ for the labor? do you have the sr already? or you expecting to pay only 1300$ for a sr and the swap together?

Hey Forever KA24,by full swap do you may mean both engine and labour for 1300. That’s pretty much impossible but if you’re looking for 1300 and a Red top SR let me know.

If you only have $1300, don’t bother. You’re better off fixing the rust on your car.

no shit…looking to spend about $8000 minimum for everything there that you listed…minimum for new parts.

Motor: 1700-4000  
Rad- 200-500  
FMIC- 300-700  
BOV- 200-450  
Boost Gauge- 100-300  
Boost Control 50-300

Dude, that`s not even touching labour.

Of course, there are always the people who say…`dude, i did my swap for 2000!!!`They are very few and far between.

These toys aint cheap. Ask anyone who had a KA in their car that swapped to an SR how much they have into their cars…money that they will NEVER get back. You`re better off buying a car that`s built already for around 5000-7000.

thats funny cus my car is worth at least $7000 and its running a ka and ive had offers for even 10000 just because of how mint the condition of the car is. no rust mint interior engine and tranny running like new. as well as many upgrades that ive done. so in other words your saying it would be better to sell my car and use that money to buy the same car with a sr already in

That`s what I`m saying.

I would say, take the $10,000 and buy yourself a DONE 300 ATMFRWHP KOUKI S14. or

If you`re working with $7000 you could also easily buy a DONE 250 and up HP S13 or Zenki S14.

I would love to see how mint your car is that it`s worth 10,000 with a KA! Seriously, not being sarcastic. Just love seeing prime examples of clean older cars.

**Diamond Japanese** - Mississauga (i believe he is a extension of Tiger cause he calls them alot)  
**Eagle Japanese** - Mississauga (they stupid so make it last resort and do comp test on the spot)  
**Tokyo Japanese** - Etobicoke  
**AJ Japanese** - Etobicoke(same as Eagle)  
**Tiger Japanese** - Scarborough (they okay most times, keep documents of sale and warranty)  
**Total JDM aka Shyne** - Scarborough (good guys i try to deal with them most the time)  
**Japan Direct** - Mississauga ( also good to buy from just show them the money)

**_VARUN_** - GTA (league of his own if you want excellent customer service and all that good stuff, just call varun… sure he is $$$$ BUT worth every penny! trust me!!)

i dont know where all these prices of $8000 and so on come from… it cost WAY less to get a swap running proper!! you all getting screwed imo with prices… but thats just my 0.02cents

Run a SMIC  
smic has a bov  
boost gaugue - $12 at princess auto

I dont understand how swaps cost $8000… sure its kinda pricy … but not 8 grand pricey. I bought my clip with 77xxxkms on it for 2000 (show them cash they like that) and with it came a bunch of goodies such as an os giekon twin plate clutch,hks ssqv nismo slave cylinder, ect ect the list goes on. and with the clip you have almost everything you need to get the car running … .minus the fuel pump… just do the work yourself and save the labour

If yo`re not doing the work yourself with new parts, that`s how much it costs. If you`re doing a lot of searching and bargain hunting with used parts and labour yourself, sure it`s a HELL of a lot cheaper.

My old car, the dude paid like 9 for everything. He basically dropped his S14 off, told them to install an S14 SR20DET in there. Thing was STOCK. He added an Exedy clutch and full exhaust and came out to 9. Wow.

It makes a big difference if you`re doing the labour and shopping around yourself.
