JDM-DC2-GSR-96

ok so here it goes i am getting 6500 to spend and i have a couple of options.

rick_rabies

k20. you can do it cheaper than you think. and itl be new and nice.
if i was you id figure out everypart it would take to do each one and price it all out on an excel spreadsheet and see whats cheaper/most powa

JDM-DC2-GSR-96

i priced out a k20 swap into a ek and it was over 6300 and that was with a k20a3 and 6spd type s tranny i want a k20a2

rick_rabies

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.

i dont have to worry about emissions i dont have it where i live and also i got a set of red recaros to compliment what ever i can decide on

JDM-DC2-GSR-96

dam wish i would of known hahaha and yes that is all new that i priced out.. also only real thing im worried about is wiring? i mean i have done many b-series swaps before but no k's

EG Hatch + K20 = FTMFW. If I had the money laying around, that would be my route.

JDM-DC2-GSR-96

i can source a 93 si eg hatch shell for 1k right now

rick_rabies

^ do it!!!!!!

JDM-DC2-GSR-96

its complete except for motor, has no rust and clean title. its black and paint is still glossy

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

thumper64

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...

raidacaipo

buy a d16y8 along with a ek hatch shell.. then use the rest of the money to go to a titty bar :O

JDM-DC2-GSR-96

hahaha lol man i laughed hard at this

do an eg shell with a k20 or b18c and make it rwd = you get into the hall of legends

thumper64

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.

Got traction

buy my car 430whp turbo sohc

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.

gilbert90605

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.

miguel329

im going to say eg hatch or coupe turbo.. gsr engine is good. ek coupe are nice but IMO i think ek hatch's are fugly!!

gilbert90605

EK HAS BETTER INTERIOR

epicbeats

you're fugly lol jk

i say go ek hatch with gsr boost.you can make more power with the boost than with the k20.

how about GSR turbo?

Other wise if you can afford it K20 EG, I would.

ExoticEK4

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!
