Rep Power: 325

well ive been saving for a couple weeks and i planned it out, i could have all the money for a k20a2 swap by july at the latest or get a custom turbo kit at mainstream performance(local shop) for 3200. but the downside im starting with an auto, should a swap be better in the long run?

Go with the k20 first! Start with something with more power! And it will be more reliable... And then turbo it if you feel it's not enough... Lol

Autos are good for turbo and bracket racing sooo what you going to do?

i feel the engine swwap would be best, since the shop has a K24 block at shop, but needs new internals, so i could be at more torque and whp than starting off with a turbo and little internals, plus it would be way much more fun to have a 6spd, orver a auto!

Hasport have the mounts for a k24 block and k20 head yet? Last i heard the valve cover sat just a little too high, and the hood couldnt close. Im torn with the same decision. to make the turbo reliable it will cost more than the swap.... but you have a near equal hp to torque ratio..... but then again... one tire fires are no fun. Hope wichever you go with works out for you.
