Would you like this car to be a daily driver? What intentions do you have for the car? Is reliability and or fuel economy an issue? What kind of times are you trying to run?

The answers to these questions will help determine which setup will be better for you.

 

yea it will be a daily driver i mean i wanna do a k20 swap bad but then again i alwyas wanted boost ya know? fuel economy is not in isssue. but if i built it the motor it will be fully built sleeved with ems etc..... but also yeaa want it reiable cause im gonan drive it to college and shittt

 

Boost man... no question about it.

More power and more fun.

 

yeaaa haha dont know yet tho

 

I personally would go with the fully built gsr route along with the full race turbo kit.

 

yea man i jus want it to by reliable and wont **** up alot. cause im gonna prolly drive it everyday and **** but it will will be built perfect and tuned with aem ems soo yea

 

go with the built motor/turbo

 

If you want it to be a daily driver, I was say go with K-series. A fully built turbo GSR will be faster, but it will not be near as reliable...I'm sure several will argue that but the point being is that you can run mid 12's on slicks with a completely stock K20a motor and retain OEM reliabilty. Not to mention get almost 40 miles per gallon while doing so.

 

yeaa man thats like why i do wanna do it and shittt i mena i know the built motor will be faster and **** but rsx typs swap and 5 lug will lookin sick son u have any good web sites for rsx s mtors?

 

**** it goin boost keep wathcin the fuckn full race videos and yeaaaa son

 

You can check out http://www.hyrid-racing.com for alot of info on the K-swap, and a few videos in the the Gallery Section.

You can also check out http://www.k20a.org for lots of info,pics, and some vids as well.

 

**** cant pick man but thanks for the web site helped out alot

 

why dont you boost the k? or is that to much for ya?

 

hmmmm prolly man at first well i spending 11,000 on a civic and then i have 8,000 to watever i want to it. so how much u think guys would be a rsx swap with everything which i can put the motor in and **** jus prolly got to take it to do some of the witing and shift linkage **** and tunning. how muc would be a type s swap?

 

An RSX Type-S motor can be found for about $3600 to $4000 depending on mileage and condition. Using a Type-S motor you will need either a JDM RSX ecu or have your USDM ecu converted into a K-pro. Including a K-pro look for the total swap to cost in the $8,000 range doing the labor yourself. Depending on what chassis you are installing the motor into you can be running 12.8's with this setup.

 

damn man thats alot jus for a damn motor swap

 

go with the k20 man is going to be the best swap, b series engines are going to disapere pretty soon man go k20 i personally going to swap a k20 in to my vx hatch in a bout a month k20 bro

 

k20 for now

boost with the FR kit after you get out of college
