turbo the KA! A lot of people are doing that now. Tony, Rob from No Ants, etc. Apparently there are some awesome KA turbo kits that are out there that actually work really well. Might be worth looking into. XAT is coming out with a great one from what I hear.

it's a possibility.
I looked into it briefly and the one kit I saw was over $3K. I think I'd rather drop in an SR.
but I'll take your advice and see what I can find.

swim on over man. I'll pay for your snorkel and flippers
I don't really have a plan right now. But do know that I'll rockin the KA for a atleast two or three months. I have a lot of expenses coming up in the next year so I may go with a CA or an SR if I can find one cheap enough. I also checked into RB20s, but there just seems to be too much fabrication involved.
It all depends....

yup yup!! my friend been riding his 97 s14 with only full tanabe coilovers and cusco 2way lsd and he's been riping the touges down in SoCal, he's hella awesome.
go for the CA, its a awesome engine and within a very tight budget and that sucker still sounds mean.

the way it's looking, that's just what I'm going to do. But CAs are a little tricky to find

glad to hear you might have it back together soon! i'm also not even sure if i can help with the drive as i still wanna put my new SR in this weekend (if my goodies arrive for it) but i'll help out in any way i can (although driving the outstanding honda for 4 hours is pushing it
).

Yeah too many people spend all there $$ on the motor. nobody did it right by getting the suspension done 1st. An engine isnt gonna help you drift better thats 4 sure.

thanks man and welcome back!!! you didn't rape any penguins did you
we may have a FOERST ever "Duel Engine Install" at 507
I actually may have someone to help me drive. My friend Josh is coming up from SC this weekend on business. So maybe I can pick him up in SC and he can help me drive the engine or the 240 back to Atl. then at the end of the weekend, I'll drive him back to SC. we shall see.
