The j swap wasn't as popular before but now it seems like its catching steam already. Its a good swap. The cars are cleaner than clean.

Not feeling the J Swap. Kinda of ruins the whole dynamics of the car, but I know people like the wow factor with it and maybe additional power. The K swap is the only suitable motor upgrade for the EK chassis and all civics. Also, the J series motors aren't really upgrade worthy along the lines of performance parts. I chose K swap>J swap.
