K series they are a totally different beast good though whole rpm range with b16 you have to wait for it get a k

 

unless you are prepared to dump 10 grand to have it done right, just do the B16 and modd the **** out of that with all the extra dough. It will make you happy too.

 

yeah there are so many goods and bads about both motors

 

Yeah if you have the money to do it get er done

 

i figure it would cost me about $4000 for a kswap. i have no problem doing the labor between me and my friends. but i can swap in a b16 SiR II for like $2000 and have money for paint, roll cage, etc...

 

what are your plans for the car? the k engine and tranny itself is gonna run around 4k, then you have to get other things like a radiator, header, exhaust, crossmember, hondata ecu, JDM crx hood so your motor clears, motor mounts, Karcepts shifter kit thing, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator and some other stuff i cant think of right now. the k24 is a cheaper option but it doesnt fit, its too tall and would require a custom hood. the car would also need suspension work to handle the added weight of the k motor and tranny. if you want pure power, i dont think you are going to be happy with the b16 unless you boost it but then its no longer all motor.

 

i say the b16 if you plan on staying the DD route, good power, gas mileage (in some cases) and of course the huge price diffrence. then put a little money into it and its a spunky daily motor you can have fun with and avoid having to rip the whole car apart

 

no,no,no this title of this thread should have been k20a/2 or b18c/1 b16 have no torque at all and takes too much to build gsr's if your going all motor a stage 2 clutch/lightend flywheel and ctr cams would pull a premium one week before racewars. hehehe

but the gsr is better to build my .02

 

I vote z6, K is over rated!

 

here is the price list from rywire's swap.

anywho. thanx for the bumps. good and bad i think im just going to go b16. its not my daily driver either. just delete the thread its not worth wasting space on here

 

Why are you going with a b16? Get a 1.8 or a 2.0. Not only are they two different motors, one sucks from the factory imo. One is superior, start with a gsr, type R, or a ls or crv motor. just my opinion.

 

more money. im not going for fast. im going for a clean swap and a clean car. b16 is cheap and pretty nice. i loved my b16 before. i was happy. i kept with my friends 00' gsr so i figure i would be happy with basic bolt ons

so you dont care about going fast, but you where happy with the B16 because it kept up with your friends car, sounds like you care about speed to me, if not why swap it anyways??? oh thats right, cuz everyone else is, its COOL and looks good.*rolls eyes*

 

b16 turbo

screw that torqueless wonder............

LS vtec turbo with a stroker kit. do it right.

and that can even be fairly inexpensive compared to other swaps.

 

How is it gonna be 4000 for K swap? way more than that, think it through b4 doing man. make a list

 

It will be 4000 for just the swap itself.........that doesnt include mounts, axles, custom radiator, and all the other stuff you need for the swap.
