many people mentioned the GT2/3 cars running 300HP all motor KAs and THAT IS WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO you fucking douchebag.
an all motor KA that is comparable in power to an LS1 will cost MORE than the LS1, imho.
lol you are messed up in the head man, or you think the LS1 swaps are hard as hell and uber expensive... Ive done LS1 swaps so I have a bit of knowledge on the subject, but you, are you being a bitter dreamer or just a douche today. posts like yours with hysterical negativity and no room for humor are just another reason the intArweb sucks.
lol. you fail.

A well done ls1 swap will have about 400hp, a well built KA (gt3 spec or so) will have about 300hp, YOU are wrong. A LS1 motorset with wiring harness, ECU, trans, and all the pumps will cost you about $3500-$5000. Then you either have to buy the mount kit or build your own. That will cost around $1000. THEN you have to have a custom exhaust made, which will be around $500 or so (guessing) for a well done mandrel bent set-up with mufflers. THEN you need a driveshaft, probably $300-$400 for a nice custom one. Then you need to have the wiring done (if you are not capable of doing it yourself), let's say $400 (maybe a little too much). So far we are up to $5700-$7300 and that does not include a LOT of stuff like intake, belts, hoses, fluids, radiator, etc... Most of the things I listed 99% of people will HAVE to pay for, the wiring is the one exception. You can save some money by putting the mount kit together yourself, but the cost in YOUR labor time will more than offset the cost of that. I have done the research and want a LS1 myself, but that is not the point. The point is that this thread is not about ANY other N/A engines than the KA's. You fail and got neg repped because YOU felt the need to bump this thread, which has run it's course already, with info that has nothing at all to do with this thread and is not correct. You can build a pretty damn badass KA for about the same amount of money as a LS1 swap and it is less complicated since the KA is the original engine for the car. If YOU don't like the KA then what is the point of YOU posting in this thread? Go post in the "v-8 240sx faq" or any of the multitude of KA hating threads here.
