That you can put towards something BIG. ex:sleeves,turbo setup, etc. I would say go boosted k or h2b if you were trying to make way over 500whp. but if i had a SOHC in a eg or w/e chassis you have and wanted to make 500whp, i wouldnt swap it since it can be obtained for half of the money you will spend on a boosted k. I would love my wife enough to save her $10k, lol!! good luck and keep us updated on what you decide to do.

    btw i think people go K series because its "new", or they want to make TONS of all motor power. not because its the smart thing to do or bang 4 your buck. example: stock d series on boost w/minor mods will run most stock k series..... and thats about 1/4 of the money for just the k swap total.
    Yea but thats just it i bought a SHELL not a running car...there is no motor in it so i guess thats why i figured id go big but i dunno you might be right maybe ill look into going with something else...great now my gears are turning again lol decisions decisions!

    I say k or b but if you want to be different from most I would go with the k. It's not everyday that you run up on a k'd hatch like you would a b series hatch.

    You want a fun ass street car. Put together a piston/rod b16 and put a gt28R on that fucker. Make somewhere between 280-300 and that car will rip stoplight to stoplight. You should be capable of 12's in the 1/4 if you took it to the strip. The lack of torque from the b16 and the powerband of the 28R just makes for a great street car on run of the mill street tires. If you want a K, honestly I would get the k24 from a CRV or whichever one accepts the type S oil pump and put pistons/rods in it and it will make huge power for a lot less. Put the 5 speed tranny on it and rev it to 8k with valvetrain.
