Depends where you live
Can you swap in a engine with a bigger displacement where you live?
Building up your own turbo wont be hard and will be cheaper. You can find most parts at ebay or somewhere else where they sell used parts.

If i were to pick between turbo or ze swap, i would go with ze swap. You will get just as much power gain, and a thousand times more reliability. And i dont know how anyone can say to turbo the car would be cheaper. With the swap all you need is the engine and ecu, and a curved neck intake manifold.
If the power from the ze isnt enough, then consider going turbo.
Swap

About the Swap does anyone know what needs to be changed besides the ecu Will the exhuast bolt up and Everything like the sensers just plug right in to the harness.

wow, you're the first one to ask that.. I REALLY dont know. Searching would OBVIOUSLY prove pointless as NO ONE has swapped to a KLZE before.

and yes... everything lines up and bolts up just fine. It is virtually like swapping in the same motor but with bigger displacement. Even the block itself from the exterior is almost identical.
Take out old motor, drop in new one.
