SKR doesn't seem to have the prices correct.
The way I see it, for a KA, for $3600 you can have a complete t3/4 turbo kit, minus fuel. Then for another $1000, you can have a fuel system to support 350rwhp (50# injectors, pump, rail, ECU, MAF). That's $4600. Add another $600 or so for a complete dyno tune and piggyback fuel controller. Then an exhaust and clutch for $800, and that's a grand total of $6000 for 350hp, and if tuned correctly, will hold fine.
If you are so inclined to get pistons (cuz they are the weak point), you can use stock rods, and pistons will be about $600 for absolutly certain 350hp driver. Final Price: $6600
The SR motor is about $5003 (based on SRSwap.com FAQ, using mid-point prices.) That is everything as above, without paying for the install. Engine, gauges, exhaust, turbo timer, gauges, shipping, clutch, IC and piping, fuel pump, BOV, air filter, manual boost controller, and wires/plugs/other crap. I don't know exactly how much power that will give you. But to make 350rwhp, you'll need injectors, possibly a rail, ecu retune and MAF (another $800). Then you will need an upgraded turbo because the t25 can't make 350rwhp, so that's another $500. This will total up to $6300-ish. Then to make things fair for comparison's sake, you'll need a piggyback fuel controller and dyno tuning, at the cost of $600, and you're at $6900.
There isn't really a difference in price that much. It's all in your prefrence of torque vs. revs, like I always say.
These prices are what I paid for my KA-T, and for what SRSwap.com says needs to be done for the sr swap. Real numbers here.
