Yo dont to the ls/Vtec thing it is way to much money you have to put out. I suggest that you put a new engine in it. I have a LS and a i put a k20 in it and that is unbeatable. i am running low 13's and high 12's

an LS-VTEC can produce more power than a K20 for less cost. as for your K20 swap, I'm going to call bullcrap until you post pics.

trust me when I tell you you don't have 320 HP.

 

I'm not doubting a K20 integra. hell, one of my friends has a K20 del Sol. I'm doubting the kid actually owns a K20 integra.

why do you say its more money?

 

i would bet my left nut that a full k20 swap is MUCH more than a lsvtec. the cheapest i found the k20 engine is 2 grand, for just the engine, you still have the tranny, computer, axles, and all the other crap. i call bullcrap on that cause i can get a b18b with 20k miles for 650 bucks, and thats a complete engine... the tranny for 3-400, and the head for 3-400, its maybe 2 grand TOTAL if you look around and wait till you see a deal.

oh, just don't speak anymore. if you think you can have a reliable and powerful LS-VTEC/CR-VTEC for $2000, there's something wrong with you.

Seriously. Where the hell are you finding K20's for 2,000 ?

 

LS engine for 650 ? ... Stolen ?

 

BBS has a CR-VTEC that is built, and I am in the process of starting one now. I am estimating easily a good 3,000-4,000 dollars for the complete swap. Then I will start the upgrading.

 

K20 swaps are almost 8,000 dollars after everything is over and done with. Ask ..SSR..

i actually just got my LS engine today, well, its put on hold till i get the other 100 bucks, but for 350 bucks. when i get the receipt for it i'll email a pic of it to anyone who asks along with a pic of the engine. it cant be stolen, because it was bought from an insurance company.

 

i just look for deals, if you're patient, the deal you want will walk right up on you.

 

keep in mind, i live in iowa, in a small town, not a big town where everyone snatches up the engines. people around here dont know the value of that stuff as compared to a larger populated state.

 

and as for a k20, a kid in des moines offered me one for 1650, no, its not stolen either, i know the kid. he is in college and really needs the cash.

 

the trick to doing a swap is cheap, but not cheap quality.

 

the only thing you gotta wait on is doing the swap itself. the longer i wait for deals the longer i wait for the swap, but in the end i save ALOT.

 

 

and good luck with the 320HP crx...ok.... :laugh:
