Re: Turbo Kit vs SR20DET swap

Me and a roommate have down the swap in the parking lot of our apartments, the only out of the ordinary tool/equipment we needed was ofcourse a cherry picker. It can definitely be done with just a couple of people GRANTED you have the knowledge, experience and helping hands. He's yanked his previous KA completely out twice, rebuilding it one time and had it KA-T'd for a short period, though he did blow it up due to a bad headgasket, lol. He even had the SR on engine stands in our living room rebuilding it, kinda made me mad, but whatever....

Bottom line, I think you should spend some time in the modding game first. Like MetalHead said, just work your way up the food chain. Best advice is to just get a S-Chassis car first and then communicate with other owners. Chances our is that you'll find a guy who's been where you are and is leaps and bounds in front of you in terms of experience and will more than likely will be glad to help you as it seems most S-Chassis owners are generally good people. Just don't bite off more than you chew, nothings wrong with planning for the future, but if you're not absolutely sure what you're doing, have someone else who does help, or just don't do it all until you know you're ready. Try to find someone who's going to do a swap and maybe just watch and/or help out. Best way to learn not to screw something up is to watch other people fuck up their own stuff, lol.
