Default swap question

i read the thread at the top and didnt really explain this....is it worth the time, effort and money for a k20 swap into a 92 hatch, or can you get around same numbers by droppin in a b18c5, which ive heard is MUCH easier to install

You won't get the same power stock for stock between a K20A and B18C5. The K20A will have slight better numbers. If you have the money, go with K20A, you'll be happy. If you don't, the B18C5 will be much easier to swap in.

K20 FTW It's where the aftermarket is gonna be for a while. It'll be more work and a pain in the *** but worth it for sure.

For what it's going to cost to get a K20 put in "$6000-$8000 grand" you can pick up an ITR engine and have enough left over to build and stomp a mud hole in a K20 eg hatch's ***. Hell you could even turbo it and have money left over for some nice rice goodies
