Install will cost about as much as a replacing a blown engine with another stock engine, since it uses the same mounts etc. I'd suggest looking around locally.

Wes answered 13 years ago. I'm gonna have to disagree with sean about the KA Those things can't handle turbos unless you do some major internal work. I'm pretty sure you have to get a different engine cradle i know you do for the FWD SR if youre doing a swap in a sentra, bluebird, sunny, etc. Just be ready to run back and forth to either Advance Auto Parts or your computer. Some parts are hard to find for it. Jack answered 13 years ago. Krystin answered 13 years ago.

I would Rather have the SR but I will agree with you in every way that the ka can out do the sr if built right, but keep one thing in mind the ka is all cast iron block and weighs a crap loud so when you start and more parts like turbo, and all this othe stuff your just making the car heavier, most people go with the sr because it is light weight and alot easier to find build parts for if need, but of course I have 3 SX , One KA-T, One SR20DET, and my last one is powered by the beast of all motors the nissan skyline RB26DETT.

As for sourcing a motor, do your homework and find a reputable place to buy your engine set from. The lure of cheap motors usually comes at a cost of performance when you finally get it fired up if it even fires at all. If the deal is too good to be true then it usually is.

Be sure to inspect your motor set by checking compression, the plugs, pulling the valve cover, and spinning the turbo among other things. As luck would have it someone was selling a wrecked one and I jumped on it! I parted the car out and kept the drivetrain which cost me nearly nothing but the real advantage was that I had a chance to drive the car and do a compression test on the motor to ensure everything was in proper working order.

This was my workspace for the swap. We did have an air compressor, which helps speed up the removal of some of the bigger bolts, but hardly a requirement. Before even touching your car, there are some critical components that need to be inspected and possibly replaced.
