Well the SF kit would be cheaper. Mostly because Hasport has not finished the K24 motor mounts. It would more than likely cost some where in the $8000 mark to do the swap. Maybe more.

I'll bet that a turbo'd D17 is a helluva lot lighter than a K24.

how much power you looking to make? and in what time span?
with the K24, you'll have more displacement to play with for more torque and possibly horsepower. But then $$ becomes an issue.

k20 swap and buy a turbo later, or go N/A, or supercharged.

You can only go so far with a motor that starts at 127hp and has barely any aftermarket support.. thats my opinion anyway.

its all in the cash. If you've got the coin for a swap then do it that way, its more dependable and has more potential for high HP numbers in the long run. If not then turbo that D

a working engine and car is better than a car that sits with an incomplete swap.
