They will not work on anything engine related. They'll probably do brakes, suspension stuff, but nothing remotely engine related. This includes oil changes, etc, as long as they don't have to open the hood they'll probably do it.

No you cannot take off the turob. Your car wont run. And it would take way too much time and effort to do that. Just take it to a certified mechanic theyll work on it.

my freind keeps pestering me about how the ka24det is way betetr than the sr, saying all you have to do is pull out the turbo and put back the stock piping and manifold and that it would only require 2 hrs. MMan he keeps saying how a sr20det was a terrible buy and that i shouldve gone KA-T. I H8TE THIS GUY , even though hes my friend haha

Why do you want to go to a nissan dealer anyway? It's common knowledge that dealers like to shaft their customers.

my friend wants to know bc he wants to go KA-T, this is my question now:

Would you be able to drop the ka24 motor back into your car after youve perfromed an sr swap?

Yeah thats kinda of a weird question since people who build a KA-T usually tend to want to do their own work. For instance myself :D , no way I would trust her to a dealer mechanic.

I would do my own work also, and plus it shouldn't be that hard to install the bolt-on turbo. Cant wait to save money for Greddy's turbo kit!
