$10K is a lil high. Try $5500 or so if you know who to talk to. Add a grand or a lil more for a Type R swap.

5500?! i think thats a bit low... considering you need mounts: 650-700$, custom header 900$, and a few extras. I would say 5500 is possible if you are doing all the work yourself. But 10K does seem high.

8000$? i think you guys are nuts for spending that for barley 200hp

just get a LS motor, fully build it, and turbo it. it will walk a K20 all day and still leave you money to play with.

christ for 8000$ i could put a damn GTR engine in my 240.

Other than cost, the only promising thing the k20 offers is its inherent attraction for Hp gains from simple bolt-ons, but Kamin is right. Even 8k is alot to spend on a swap that remains STOCK, even at that price! You could have one hell of a LS-V turbo motor for 8g's, ITR motor, boosted GSR, boosted b16, b20vtec+boost, there's lots of possibilities with that kind of money. The k20s future hasnt really been tested yet, so give it a little while and see what they come out with. For the time being, B series still reigns supreme.

about like motor trans swap :4-5 grand. b series axles, mounts, header, custom harness if you dont have the one from the rsx it should be about 2grand

down the road the K series will be 100% worth it, but right now it is a huge waste of money and its just a "status" swap.

ive seen some crazy **** out of RSX-S's with just bolt ons and a hondata chip but its just not worth that kind of money in a civic. there are other means to make it go fast.

Default Re: K series (Kamin)

one of the main reasons im doin it
to be one of the first to ever
like that guy that first did a b series swap no one was doing them, and they cost alot of money people were like oh yea we'll just keep our nice boosted D series
gues that guy was a pioneer
just like us(the ones who are going to/have done the swap)

lol the first b series swap cost next to nothing because there was no demand for the motor

and like i said, you are doing it because its a status swap.

"i have a k series"

Yes our K20 header will fit in an Ek/Eg/Dc
We have a Pnp harness that mates your Rsx-s engine harness to your Eg/EK Cabin harness.*this component is included with the price above *

No doubt at all man, but the point that Kamin is trying to make is that for far less money(in the long run) you can produce just as much power if not more with a b series in your civic at least at this point in import history.

right if you looking at an ITR motor, then yes you have a very strong point. In my eyes turbo on a c5 is pointless. So, you definately have a good point there. Power to power, from what mags and some people, like you have, said then definately the k20 would be a much better choice.

so if i have the motor already, and axles to work with the DC swap, how much is this swap gonna end up costing me?
damn cheap i would suspect if it only costs $5400 give or take, and that includes price of the motor.
Get back to me as soon as possible please,
Thanks

b18+boost = 250whp for less than a K20 swap

k20's are great they are just way too overpriced to be worth it right now
