Most people swap engines for the turbo.

Okay, so my best bet would be to get a SR20DET. I have a KA24DE, what all would I need to get it going for the swap?

Well, is your KA running good? If so, i'd check compression, and turbo it. It's going to be cheaper, and faster than swapping in a SR20 and sourcing out all the parts.

your best bet would be to use the "SEARCH' button at the top of the page, it'l find you anything and everything you'd possibly want to know, atleast for a while til you dont have to ask newb questions(same one's that have been answered a million times). No offense, but good luck, turbo the KA and dont give up.

This is the forum for people who want to turbo a KA24E or DE motor. This isn't the forum for anything else. This being a tech forum, we like talking about tech stuff...but doing everything for someone is right up there next to having my pen15 crushed in a vice. Do some reading, if you want to ask generic questions, please post them in the Gen Chat forum.
