I was planning on purchasing either a '96 Coupe or Hatchback and doing an engine swap but am still debating which engine i should swap either a B18C (Integra Type R) or a K20A2 (RSK Type S). The engines specs are quite similar, the big difference is in price and components that have to be swapped, the B18C is a much easier swap and is cheaper but for the long run is it worth it to get the K20A2? Has anyone been in this situation, or have any helpful advice for deciding on an engine. Thanks

well i know that the K-series is ALOT more expensive, but it does have more hp and torque then the B18c.

top thread in this forum is "Which engine swap for my civic" go check in there first ull find more information there... i did the b18c gsr in my del sol and i love it... how much money do u have for this project?

Well right now I have enough for the B18C but im not sure if it's worth it to save and wait for the K20. Im guessing that with the right parts you could make the B18C as fast or faster than a K20A with less hassle. Tell me if these prices sound resonable $4600 (including installation for the B18C) VS $5500 (without installation which would probably be fairly expensive). Do you find a big difference with your delsol after the swap, delsolmarine?

A buddy of mine did the first K swap in Ga onto his civic hatchback almost 2 years ago. Cost him like 8 grand then but he made 202whp and maintained 40mpg on stock parts.
