it all depends on what your car model is.

if its the GS (V6) then the KLZE would be cheaper for you. If its the RS (4cyl) then the BPT would be cheaper. The two different engines have different mount positions so it would be a pain in the *** to switch from a 4 cyl to a v6 and vice versa. It would also cost quite a bit more.

And to get the GTR engine will take for ever. Go with a plain BPT instead. THe KL will work, but you will have to replace everything.
