searching does wonders.

don't forget the often overlooked CA18DET (somewhere near the top of that list) and the ever popular "turbo-ur-stock-motor" option.

There are forums for each section of the states, post a thread there and you'll be able to see if anyone is. As well, many people including myself put where they are located under their name on the left side of the screen, so if you see someone close you can PM or email them.

The stock motor if you turbo it is awesome, the KA engine has a higher displacement than the SR, and has an iron block. If I go Turbo i'm gonna do a KAT. You'll have to rebuild the head gasket and upgrade afew other internals if you want some serious power though.

That is all

look in the 'Private For Sale' forums. someone there is selling a 'bolt on' turbo kit for a KA24E. also, i think the guy said he is willing to custom make turbo kits.
