b18c1 with a strong build and about 12lbs of boost will cost about the same as the k20 stock swap but will own that k yo!

buy a whole car my buddy did a k20 type s swap in his crx for 2300..he bought a rsx type s from a junkyard for 3500 wrecked in the rear and sold all the interior out of it making 1200 off the car and getting the swap for 2300 basically

if you are having someone else install this then you dont deserve either engines.. b18c5 is usually meant for better gearing on auto-x and track courses. the k series engine is just hard as hell to modify the engine bay and mounts so look at spending 10 grand if someone installs it or 7 grand if you do it yourself and set aside about 5 weekends for this project.

I know the guy who did his for 2300.

#1 your an idiot to pay someone $10,000 to do this swap. Or any swap for that matter.
#2 You can be frugal and do it for less than 7

#1 you havent priced out a JDM K20 TYPE R swap, cause you are wrong
#2 reread #1

K20 DC5R swaps are going for $5500-6500. Add $1000 for Kpro, $500 for mounts $500 for misc stuff like hoses, belts, etc. then factor in labor, which would be around $1000.
thats right at $10k

>>same method....but adding more aftermarket parts...hihi :D ...or instead of a wrecked Type S ....be patient and look for a wrecked TSX...

you can find TSX longblocks for $1500, thats really the way to go , 2.4L vtec

theres probably more parts for a b18c5 since its been around longer. plus any b series part should be compatible. then again k series are pretty cool. if money ain't no thang then flip a coin.

If you have the money go k20 or k24
heystop
01-02-2006, 04:53 AM
b-series is still cheaper and aftermarket parts are everywhere.that 6 speed tranny sounds tempting though.

K24 from the TSX is the best.....
eViLMunkey
01-02-2006, 09:45 PM
Just notice honda is starting to put more k series motors im there cars so the more out there the price will start to drop like it has with the b series

dont the K24 heads have problems with oil starving at high hp applications?
thought i heard that somewhere, something like because of this they can pull mroe power out of a K20A... i think

i would swap a k20a depending on the car.. if it was a civic eg or ek i'd do k20.
if it was an integra DA or DC2 i would do b18c5 swap
