    um it has 8.5 to 1 which isnt necessarily better or worse. you could run a smaller turbo with less boost and make the same amount of power with the ka's compression. But it probably wont last as long if it isnt done right.

    How is an rb20 swap more expensive than an sr? Motor set is 1500 from like jgycustoms then you get motor mounts and then wiring done. I know people that have done whole rb20 swap for around 2k.

    Sweet! That's a good deal.


    Is that paying labor or doing it themselves? That must be for them doing it themself based on the price tht you gave for the motor. There is no way that some one got the labor for the swap, the motor mounts and the wiring harness done for $500....

    Oh no they did it themselves of course.

    They also sell custom mounts and wiring. The rb20 is harder to wire up than sr but i have had a few friends do it themselves.

    I guess he could get a CA18 too for cheap.
