It seems that I could boost a bseries with internals for the same cost as I would a stock Kseries. Even if I kept bothe N/A it seems that the b would give me more bang for the buck. I can get the b18c5 for about the same cost as a K20 in the neighborhood of 4-5k. And the b would be less painstaking. So please lets assume your were going to do this project for a 89 civic hb. what would you do?Adding it all up it seems the K is going to set me back at least 6-7k installing it myself and all the litttle headaches that go along with the k-swap. Thanks in advance

 

5.0 or nissan titan motor

 

K20 TYPE R son!

 

if your gonna boost why waste the extra money for the c5.

 

First thing... Search.

It seems as though you would be better suited for the B-series. I say go boosted b18c1.

If you think you can do the K-swap. Go for it, it is the 'new' B series.

 

5.0 will be my next miata swap....not in my ef

 

s2000 in the little miata

 

i would do the b series cause its easyer. but if you got that much money to spend you could buy a nicer car instead of a 89 hatch.

 

maybe just a boosted ls. I did a boosted ls back in 93 and it was pretty quick. most people on this site were probably in junior high back in 93. but i have the bug again

 

I gave up my 03 Z . so getting another car really isnt feasible ......I like the H cars

 

kseries is gona be more reliable than a b18c turbo obviously (longevity!!) but you would see more power from a b18c turbo...

kindergarten lol.

 

...by 2 cars with the amount of money your going to spend on a k20, actually more like 3 cars.
b18c5...pointless...b16a6 is good enough and your not spending money for a hype-r.

or if you really want to d16a6 turbo's can go 11's, just no one does it

 

K20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
