Step 1: get 1 big box and few small boxes then gut the SR clip(make sure to keep all the small parts in the small boxes) DO NOT sell or throw away anything until the SR is in the car running.


Step 2: jack up the car and put it on 4 jack stand then drain all the fluids.


Step 3: it's up to you, but we recommand removing the bumper and headlights to have more room and also easier to install intercooler.


Step 4: get 1 big box and few small boxes again, then remove everything you don't need for the SR on the driver side(put everything in the boxes so you can reuse some of the parts later).


Step 5: remove radiator and fan, then remove the engine harness.


Step 6: remove engine mount bolts and tranny mount bolts.


Step 7: slowly use a engine hoist and lift up the motor, have someone looking under to make sure you don't damage the power steering lines.


Step 8: prep the motor while the SR and KA are side by side. for us we had phase2motortrend install Tomei head package and also Tomei Camshafts. if you don't know how to do it make sure you find someone who can like we did. all motor has to be taken apart correctly and put back correctly, it's not easy.


Step 9: drop in SR slowly making sure it doesn't damage firewall, power steering lines, and radiator support.


Step 10: install and wire up the engine harness(you'll need to extend the MAF,power steering, and A/C wires).


Step 11: install exhaust and downpipe(make sure it's tight orelse you'll get exhaust leak).


Step 12: cut holes for the intercooler and mount the intercooler.


Step 13: install raditor and fan, also connect all pressure, oil, and water plumbings.


Step 14: put in new fluids and double check all around.


Step 15: install battery and crank it up.
