We know from Kleene's recursion theorem that if $f$ is total recursive, there must be an integer $n$ for which $varphi_n=varphi_{f(n)}$. My question is: for every $f$ total recursive, is there a computable (total) procedure that computes such a point?
ie: $exists g.forall f.varphi_{g(n)}=varphi_{f(g(n))}$.

The proof of the recursion theorem is constructive: it gives you an algorithm to compute $n$ from $f$. See for example these notes of Rebecca Weber.
