So, I'm wondering how hard it would be for a guy (myself) with little knowledge of mechanics and a friend to swap my SR tranny w/ a KA tranny. I know that I have to switch the bellhousings and then it should be fine. But how difficult is the swap other than that? I won't be using a lift either. It would strictly be a driveway, jack hoisted, weekend job. This is a daily driver so I would have to have it done and fixed by the weekend. Anyone suggest I give it a go or should I get it professionally done?
On the same note, how hard is it to swap out the stock T25 turbo for another T25? I've searched for write-ups and installs and can't find any. Is it a simple bolt on, 3 hour job? Or would I be over my head? I know a lot of people have done it themselves, but the most I've ever done mechanically was swap in my welded diff and change my oil, so i'm a little hesitant concerning my engine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
