In the same car, I'll drop a V6 in it and make even more power for way less. for the same amount of money, I'll make it awd with a turbo set up. And maybe fix up the inside. With a decent paint job. The K swap is only for retards and fan boys, point blank. For that money, I'll have a 626 that will put buslengths on a K swap, hands down. That's mythat actually makes sense.
Damn that k series stuff is alot more expensive then I thought it was!
The set up I have cost
Sr20ve complete front clip including everything even the fuel pump for $1000
N1 cams $650
Chipped ecu $230
UR pully $150
10lb flywheel $250
Custom intake with velocity stack $100
Aeromotive FPR $150
Exedy Stage1 clutch $280
Thats 200whp for $2810 including the motor. But now prices on the cams alone dropped almost $200 from when I bought them. That and assuming counting in clutches as part of cost/hp figures etc. Rather than playing with just simple bolt-ons, there are so many available options after this point, AEM stand alone, itbs, 12.5:1 cr, 2.3L stoker etc. But if you're talking 200whp, I would guess now days, it would cost $2500 including the motor and a fresh clutch.
