So I have a s13 coupe and a vq35 engine sitting in my garage right now, I don't have the stock ka but I got to thinking should I go thru with the vq or find a used ka for cheap and build it up for boost. I figure the vq is going to cost me a few thousand more to get running, I need all the accessories, wiring harness, ecu/bcm, etc plus its new territory not many have done the vq swap. The ka has tons of support and tuning seems a lot easier I just don't know much about the engine, is a ka-t very reliable? I'm not one to skimp so everything would be done right the first time, if I went ka-t my goal would be 350-400hp and my budget is probably 4-5k for the engine build. Is this reasonable for my goals?
Those that have built a ka-t would you do it again?
