6300..then you didnt budget it out right. check classifieds for stuff. you dont HAVE to buy everything new and from top websites.
fyi. i just sold the front half of an rsx, yes the whole front end for $800

I say b18c into a coupe. its fast, easy, and affordable. If you want to later bar'd or legalize the swap, its more simple than a k20.... best bang for your buck/easy swap imo.

H2B JDM H22 into Hatch...cheaper and makes about the same/more power as K20 AND uses B series trans FTW!

Re: Cant decide on k20, B18C , B16 TURBO VOTE PLEASE!!!
The H2B setup is a better option I think. No dealing with extra wiring, bypassing antitheft stuff, etc. They're cheap and plentiful. Having a K would certainly be nice though, just because it's the new thing and they have a more advanced form of VTEC. I want to see one turbo'd...

Nah, if the Acura RL ends up getting the N50C1 (check Wikipedia's RL entry), get that and do a AWD swap with the engine in the back. Otherwise, a J37 with twin turbos and maybe a bore/stroke. Either way, it'd be a fun way to blow way too much money.

Do you care about looks and style? Or just speed?
I say go with an EK because they are just a more visually appealing car overall (the best looking Honda hatch IMO) and (if you have the dough) of course go with a K20, who wouldn't? I am gonna stick a GSR into my EK, sure it's not OMG fast, but I can always turbo later on.

ek shell !!!its a must or you will be put on the list of most biggest, epic fails of all time.......... make sure to wire tuck, while its still a shell. smooth everthing out get a fresh paint job in the engine bay too and put a b18c motor in there with a beautiful valve cover, headers, radiator and all that good ish.

IMO Gsr turbo is cheap and would be the way to go. Boost is sooo addictive and you wi still have extra cash to go to the titty bar!
