If you'd put a k20a in a teggy, you'd definitely be faster than a dc5-s, since it only has an a2. The only question is if you want to deal with getting the swap done, or just have a pretty fast car from the getgo without having to touch it.

what would you do with a klondike bar?

i'd rather take the rsx over an integra because it's more refined, but then again, i'm done with the car scene and my rsx is bone stock.

im not sure what to do i have the integra and i could do the swap or try to find a rsx-s. either way the next car or this car would be my project car or at least a car i can work/ do things to.

You do know it's going to cost you big bucks right for the swap right?

... If so, you're straight up ballin' then.

if you can do it right and clean then the dc2 with the k-swap if your going to half *** it then i say go with the rsx my bro thought about a k swap in his type-R but then realized that in the long run he was better off with the b series. he know plans to drop a K in a CRX

if it was me id do the k20a dc2, depending on the condition of the car, you dont wanna me dumping alot of money in something that isnt worth it. the dc2 is a hell of a lot lighter and would be a good project.

There isn't a big difference in the hp of the a2 and the a is quite a bit more expensive. unless you just have money to blow, itd be cheaper to go with the a2 and use the difference to mod the a2.

the dc2 is in good shape.1995. a little bumper damage but nothing a new bumper would not fix.
-i just put 7000+ because i have all ready went through hybrid racing for a package with everything but engine and trans for 3500 so all depends on the engine and trans cost

I really like the idea of a k-series in a dc2 but there's the theft issue. I know that no car is theft proof but dc2 get stolen way more than dc5's. Just some food for thought. Now if its not gonna be your daily driver and you have a garage of some sort then your good to go.

Yeah, my reasoning exactly. I wouldn't recommend getting a DC2 if you don't have a garage.
