Default so i need opinions.

SO I got this lx coupe that's slow as a snail. I have stock engine in it and its pushing 419,000 kms on it and we all know that's not gonna last much longer. Ive asked around to everyone and I get mixed answers from everyone. I want to know whats the easiest engine swap I can do. Ive heard that k20 was easiest and ive also heard that b16 was easy also. Please help.

The easiest swap is stock. However, for more details we'll need to know the year of the car.

I've read that swapping a k series into a 2001 thru 2005 was quite the task as compared to k swapping a 92-00

i think the difference is more aftermarket support for 92-00. 01-05 you have to use rsx and ep3 parts

fo0 also the subframe for the 2001-2005 wont work with any set of mounts, therefore your left with finding a subframe that will work with the mounts and fit the car.
