Turbo kit - factor in another 2-4K considering the need for fuel as well.

Also, because there is always the "forgot this" factor; add another $1000 to your $500 for miscellaneous shit.

So for a cool $10K, you are balls deep into a turbo K20/K24 swap.

So about the cost of a proper VET setup. Or about 1-2K more than a garden variety VET swap (which also includes a CD009 and building up from a bare block).

Bare SR block with cam caps, crank, oil pan, etc - $400
VE head - $4-$700
VE valvetrain and/or N1 cams
- Valvetrain - 800
N1 cams - 450 new shipped
- Machine work for block - $800-1K
- Forged internals - 1000
- swap miscellaneous - $1000
- Turbo kit - 2K
- IM - 500
Injectors - 500
CD009 swap and kit - 2K
ECU - 1K

So for a cool 12K you are also into a VET swap.

10-12K for a stock K24 with a turbo kit than can be had in the junkyard for 500 if blown up or 10K for a VET that drops right in with all the parts necessary at your disposal to run AC/PS, etc but close to 1-2K if blown up. However plenty of parts still available either way.

I guess pick you poison??
