Short of buying the block/head from Honda there aren't any many choices.

That will run ~10k

Deetz

A crate engine often costs more than a used Honda A K series long block for example cost something like $8,000

I bought a used K24A2 for $450, imagine what i could do with the extra $7500 to match the coin you would have spent on a stock engine

moubrco

well im perfectly fine with buying a used engine like that but i have a hard time spending my hard earned money on a used engine that ive never seen in action or heard start up b4... @deetz, did u see ur engine start up or anything b4 u bought it?

If you want a crate motor check out the crate motor called THE BEAST it's a gx20 long block fully built

How much money?

Deetz

ha ha, why?? For the money i spent, i'm just going to rering it, and throw in some fresh valve seals.....and more than likely upgrade the cams and valve springs. I've already got a race header for it, so by the time i've spent a couple grand, i will have a reliable 250-260hp engine

98civdx

What do you expect it to look like?

moubrco

@doood, well u can hate all i want i have money i pay very little for rent and living expenses and i cant take my money with me when im gone i have a honda d16V with to many skunk2 parts to list i am very passionate about my honda and i will come back in 6 months msg u and give u some pics of just what i did with my honda, i am not some jdm wanaboy i am serious

moubrco

@deetz yea i guess lol but u gota admit u got lucky as fu(k getting a k20 for less than 500$ but i do get what u mean i guess ill just keep looking around, @98civdx idk i expect it to look like a k20 fully built for 10g not a b20 LB

I just built a sleeved and built gsr engine for around 5 so all depends on what u want na or boost

moubrco

im not trying to just come and talk about how much money i have im sry if thats what it sounds like but i do i like to buy the engines and do the rest myself and as for the whole "junk2" comment i got into hondas and **** because of my friends and they all have skunk parts its just what i was brought up on, if u have better sugestions for good parts companys im willing to take sugestions. if there is better stuff out there ill look into them....

There is one thing you need to keep in mind here, you are buying a BARE long block. There is no IM, header, anything. You "may" be able to a Spoon k20 crate motor, but, just like a B series it will be very expensive.

if you want a K series engine, you honestly would be better off buying and building your own. I am willing to bet money depending on what you build it with, it would make MORE power, for less money. Look at the link I posted for the Spoon engine. There really isn't much done to the engine other then it's a brand new Honda block/head... You are basicly buying the Spoon name!

The reason why people will be hostial so quick, is guys show up waving their money around, and then vanish.
There is WAAAY better stuff then skunk2. Their cams/valve train isn't half bad, but overall their products suck. Suspension is a joke, their TBs stick new out of the box, etc.

moubrco

@98civdx ok well ill keep all that in mind ill start doing alot more research also but got any good companys to get parts with then? dont know many other than skunk, greddy and megan racing...... and i have a feeling that those are also just big names and shitty manufacturing lol

98civdx

Just depends on what your looking for.

greddy isn't bad, megan is in the same book as skunk2 in my opinon...

moubrco

well im more about lots of power, we got alot of crusing places were i live and its always filled with ppl tryin to race eachother so power is what im mostly after if you couldnt tell i could care less about slammed and rotas and stuff lol id be fine with a big lift and some 22's on my honda if i could walk ppl in a race still haha it would look stupid as hell but i could care less about looks, hell my car is teal right now lol

This is about the closest thing to a crate engine.. and worth every penny! * you supply the head, unless there a core purchase you can do.
