Default possible k swap into 92 civic

This is a long shot. Im doing as much research as i can. I'm hitting the search button ALOT. Starting off looking up alot at hmotorsonline and honda-tech and inline pro and hybrid-racing is helping out. I know this is going to be a difficult swap. Expensive too i know. My question's are as follows. Intercooler??!@?!? Which one will work out to the best ability i.e. fit the k series and fit my civic eg. Where can i find it.(website) Im looking at a sidewinder exhaust manifold so that should answer some questions. While i have this motor out i would like to build the motor. eagle rods and wisco pistons have been coming out alot lately with people i know. I would like to hear some other opinions about them. I havent really heard anything about the valves or anything to that extent. Opinions would be suggested on these questions. Im hoping this web-site can hel[p me out alot. thanks again

im stumped.... why do a boosted k swap for 10k when you could build a boosted b swap with the same amount of money that will run circles around it? if you do a k swap IMO go NA. if you wanna boost stick with a b series. just my .02

for the intercooler it all depends on how much HP you want. since small intercoolers cant support alot of HP. and its not about fitting the K series, its about fitting your EG.
get eagle rods with ARP bolts and ACL bearings. i would say JE pistons instead of wisco.
upgrade your valves to titanium valves and get new valve springs also

i understand what your saying. I have seen SO MANY boosted gsr's around here. i have seen a couple of d series boosted. I see LOTS of ls's boosted also. i am not taking anything away from them. They are fast. But im trying to go down my own path. I havent seen any boosted eg's with k swaps around my part yet. Im trying to be the rare ones. why follow when you can lead basically....

thats what i was looking at hard with the intercooler. I found some talking about the motor but i havent seen really any to fit my eg. I want some power cause if im going to spend the money to get this i want to be able to put down the power.

the reason you dont see them is cause people see that a 500hp b series is half the cost of a 400hp k series..... like i say its your money and if you have the funds then by all means go ahead. i just wanted to make sure you thin through this before you commit and realize it was a bad choice.

if your gonna want to run alot of hp, then your going to need a big intercooler. which means cutting into your front bumper support. and modifying your bumper
