If you put a turbo on a ka, it will kill a sr.

I got my swap from Cartune..Ctuneracing.com

They charged me $3k for the whole service. Auto to Manual Swap too.

It's a decent job..but you have to look out for the engine they put in..Mine is a little dirty..but that's just the valve cover.

I like DIY too. "cheaper" and "right" usually don't go together when you're talking swaps.
Garage, Engine Hoist, tools, and a brain=you can do the swap yourself. Even a caveman can do it
