If you really have to ask what motor/swap/turbo to go with, or how much it will cost to rebuild/turbo your ka, then you really need to take a step back and reevaluate.

YOU need to go do some more research on the costs of doing a quality rebuild/turbo on a KA, versus doing a SR swap, versus doing whatever other swap you are interested in. WE cannot spoon feed you.

There are literally thousands of threads/builds with good information in them for you to see... Find them on here, and start reading.

Enough said.

not to be a tool, but if you wanna blow it up, yes it is a dumb idea. Do it right, rebuild it first.

Are you getting a new turbo for your ka24det^ or do you want to turbo your Ka24?
