EK HATCH Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 i have 6500 saved up i dont know if i should boost my b16a or get a b16b or a k20a or b18c5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 you can do a k20 swap for roughly 4000 if you shop around. that leaves plenty for boosting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xd980 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 you can do a k20 swap for roughly 4000 if you shop around. that leaves plenty for boosting it yea man k20a type s full swap! then kick a lil bit with that 6500 and you'll have enough for a turbo setup... car will be pretty kick ass/decent fast...we're not talkin back to the future fast but impressive! id say roughly 7,000-7,500 you could do swap w/ turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 i spoke to a guy who did a k20 in a civic.. told me unless i had 8-10k dont even think about it of course that is to do it probably with good parts (he races professionally) hmmm http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc2000search.cgi?what=page&item=30014 not to mention everything else needed for the swap and if you DO find a crazy cheap one somewhere that doesnt mean its a good motor and is quite possibly junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Sarah that is a type r k20 though and? lol anyway.. guy i talked to said have between 8k and 10k before you even start which fits in with what xd said about 7500 you WILL have other costs pop up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
