Default Has anybody seen anyone attempt a K23A1?

I tried searching, but came up with nothing. I would assume it's more work than it's worth, but just curious.

Stock forged internals.

I haven't seen any but I admit it would be pretty sweet.

I think there'd be clearance issues with both the top mount intercooler, as well as the intake manifold.

Plus they can't be cheap.

no one has made motor mounts yet, and they are about 10k for the motor becasue they are so new and all have low miles. and the top mount wont fit in our cars, you coud always do a front mount though. Prittymuch. buy a k20 and boost it, its cheeper and less hasle.

not really, just shows how much more difficult it is to accomplish. the same was thought when the K-series first came out, people thought they'd never see them in older cars, look at them now.

eventually, someone with enough money and fabrication knowledge will do the swap. right now, it's really out of reach being that the engine is so new and to get one, you'd either have to wait for one to get totaled, or you'd have to buy one new from honda.
