k swap in an eg......too common???
ok i want to get an eg and swap a k20 in it and build alot of power turbo forged internals....etc the works but it seems likee theres too many egs with k20 swaps but i just love em should i change my ways so i get a more uncommon swap or keep dreaming it
they aren't common at all. There's maybe 10 cars in Atlanta with a k swap. There's thousands with b series. K swap will run you 8000-9000$ minimum if you do the work yourself. That's a stock swap. Turbo built motor another 5000-7000. Its big money.
Set some realistic goals first and decide what you want and what your budget is

unless you have bill gates money, or the patience of ghandi. you will never have a fully built boosted and tuned k20 in an eg.

K20s arent what costs money, its the mounts, KPRO, fuel system, brakcets, pulleys, etc that cost loot.
Built motor is $3000 in PARTS
Turbo kit is $3000 in PARTS.
Guys on here have built cars, we know what it costs.
but hey if you think you can do it, go for it, prove us all wrong

If you want to know about K20 swaps, IA isn't where you need to be spending your time. That and Mike probably knows more now then you will ever know. Search around before making BS threads.
Sounds like you have never built a car and you have no idea what it costs to build one like you want.
There are people on this site that have k20a2 swaps in their EGs or had them, PM them and ask what they spent.

IIRC josh spent $7000-8000 on his STOCK SWAP and Evan spent over $10,000
thats an NA setup with no turbo and a stock engine.
If you think you can build some built motor k20 turbo swap for $5000, go do it, then let me know how you did it and ill pay you to build 10 of them.

this is going to be a lot of money for a car that wont get traction...
weak civic
I don't think the "attraction" is so much the case with this...I just got my EG and hope to have a k20 swap soon...Mr Kidd is dead on with about how much it's gonna cost...I've gone up and down everywhere I can look to see how much you would end up spending to get the swap running...8,000 is the cheapest I can possibly see getting said swap done. ( Thats even getting some of the parts used )...I just want to have mine NA...Building and tunning is the fun of doing what we do, just build it to suit what you want the car to be able to do...Not everyone has to be the biggest and best in all the land. IMO
lol well thanks kurshid
like mr. kidd sayin ull find a motor for about 3 but as far as kpro and mounts, etc........ count for thats def. a $7500 minimum thats a cheap way out!

I got stupid lucky on a engine swap and got some of my parts for cheaper than what they go for now, HOW IDK?
A little while after I did mine I realized how much of an idiot I was for putting that much money into a car that was worth $2500. With the amout of cars being stolen and not to mention parts are much more for those engines, axles, etc... I didnt get what I had into the swap out of the car. Who has $8-10k to spend on a 15yr old Honda, not the bank thats for sure. I think Mike knows what I am talking about..... IDK, fast STREET cars just seem like a waste of time/money/fuel.
But my **** still pwned Chunky's ass STOCK, isnt that right Mr. KIDD.....
Getting older and having to be responsible sucks....
Sigh yes yes old sucks. But hey look on the bright side, we have more money to spend on other things
Chunky is moving back at the end of this month, he got IPS cams , IPS manifold, Hytech header, some other ****. He says he wants to race my old CRX and your old EG . LOL Chunky still cant get over getting beat by 20 year old cars

Well lets propose the question that will surely be soon to follow...If it's not worth it to do the k20 swap in the car, what is worth putting into these EG's?
how about a d16+turbo? cheap, reliable, and fun!
Of corse the b16 is fun...Then you've got gsr's, Type-R's...The list is endless, but which one is the cheapest/most fun?
i wrote d16 as in a 1.6 liter D series engine found in delsols and civics
LoL...My bad...Still early in the morning for me.
ls and boost
but for the super cheap fun civic turbo d-series
TOO BIG
if you are thinking about a k swap, have you looked into a k24?
most of the time: k24's offer more horsepower, lower compression that is good for turbo set ups, more torque: than a k20. sometimes the redline limite is not as high on k24 as a k20 though.
a k24 might not be as common as a k20... but i'm not for sure.
Again with the k24 you run into the price problem...They just get so damn expensive to put in and get running.
It all comes down to BUDGET, and i mean REALISTIC budget.
If you only have $3000 to spend, you cant do much, best bet is a B16 or LS swap. If you have $5000 you can do a GSR with bolt ons.
If you have $6000-7000 you can do a LS turbo
if you have $1000-2000, keep saving
It depends what your REALISTIC ultimate end goal is too. IF you would be happy with a turbo car making 250whp, then you can just turbo your D series, if you want 350- 500whp, you have to go B series. If you wan an NA car, then the best swap is the GSR or the ITR and bolt ons

he's already leaning toward a k20. it is not much of a price difference. both are going to be expensive as hell.
I also think it comes down on what you want the car to be capable of doing...I'm not looking to go over 250hp...I do kinda have my heart set on going all motor though, already done the boost thing with my SRT-4.
i've seen k swaps do 400 + on a low boost setting.
well 250hp all motor will run you $10,000 easily if not more.
I spent about $9500 on my car that made 240whp and i did most of the work except build the motor.
Realistically 180-190whp is easy to get to, just a GSR swap, a header from me, an intake manifold and a tune an you can get there.
anything over 190-200whp you gotta go inside the motor.

LOL. I had a k20a3 at the time, with custom cams. You never ran me after I got the built motor, sucka.
Yeah I'm sure 190 would be plenty with such a light body style...And like you guy's stated before, to much hp = no traction.
Nah, I just never sold out on the dream son. I b keepin it rill.LOL Chunky still cant get over getting beat by 20 year old cars
i knew that would bring you out in the open~!Nah, I just never sold out on the dream son. I b keepin it rill.
Its ok i got a B series for you

Like I said getting older and doing the responsible thing sucks! The house is nice though.
hah, just let me get into town. I gotta slap on the new **** and shake it down.
low blow man. You know my built bottom end has been together for well over 20k miles?

K swap = big dollas no matter how you wanna slice it.. i was seriously looking into one for my del sol once (before it got stolen) and there isnt really a cheap way to do it.

Instead of wasteing the money on a turbo setup, just do this: a k20 bottem end/k24 head and build the sh*t out of it!!! N/a drives me
