i thought u said money is not a problem to u and u can do all the work by yourself? k 20 wont just drop in cause it is a newer honda engine.and it sits totally opposite than d, b, h and f series engines...u will need a lot of parts..labor .and time to make this conversion work..u will be looking at over $10000 for this conversion...
and if u need ac..only "if", u wont be able to run the ac system on your eg or ek with k series swap..but with b series engines...u can

Re: Motor swap for a 1993 del sol (crazyguy)

b18b1, start out with that, once you start acquiring more knowledge about honda motors you can swap to an ls/Vtec and go fast

or poor mans type r, thats what i had b4 i crashed mine

Seriously, search. A k series would be the 'fastest', but sounds like you don't know a whole lot about swaps.

I'd say if you still have the money then go with a b18c5.

Ya, they're like 8k for all the parts (K's) - if you were lookin for raw speed you shoulda went with a lighter chassis, sols are kinda on the heavy side.
