Lol
Fairly cheap, good one.
Building a turbo K swap to be reliable is definitely possible, but the path is even less proven than turboing a BP, and it'll cost you about as much as an LS swap (though would likely outperform an LS swap).
Either way, the cost goes way way up.

Maybe that was the wrong wording haha. I guess I mean that it goes a longer way than the options for the bp- cost to hp ratio. I mean the stroker kit for the bp from maruha cost like, what, 4 grand for only .3 liters ?
couldn't you boost a stock k series and get better gains than a boosted bp with less stress on the engine ?

For whatever it's worth, this conversation isn't really relevant to this thread.
The stroker kit from Maruha has nothing to do with which one is cheaper to modify.
A K swap will make more power than a BP with a turbo. but once you add boost, you're increasing service requirements for the vehicle for track use, full stop.
