i have a question to all you people that own a ITR.

Would you Swap a k20 or keep the B18c5 on the R?

 

Once you swap that K, you will forget all about that b series. I in the process of doing a K24a2 swap in my R. I'm hanging on my original B18c5 incase i want to sell the car...

 

im thinking on doing that swap, but i need to sell my complete swap in order to purchase the K and install it, what Up and Downs has the K series????

 

There is no downs on a k-series, Only ups. But i wouldnt buy a clean title R with a K though.

 

Why u wouldnt buy a clean title R with a K series???

 

When I set out to buy a R, i would like one free from major modifications.

 

i would buy a type r with k20 before i would with c5!!!!!

go k and dont look back!!!!

 

thats my plan, i dont know nothing about the K, can somebody tell me whats the best tranny to use and what K to buy to make it good and relaible and not that expensive???

 

go with k20a if you have the money....(TYPE R 220hp)

or go with k20z1 or k20z3....both make 200hp

trany go with the new Si tranny (z3) or type r pretty much the same...

be prepared to spend atleast 6-9k

 

Just dont buy a k20a3, those are really slow.

K20a2 from the rsx type s is a good motor and can be had from 2-4k local. Changing the cams would improve the power.

K20a type r is from the new type r. i've seen a full swap for 6-7k from hmotor.

most swaps come with 6-speed k-series trans.

 

Either way I would definitely hang onto the original engine if you ever plan on selling the car. This is assuming it has the original engine in it at the time. Numbers matching cars will become much harder to find in the future.

 

there is a k20a3 by my house, full swap 1800, running and all, nothing wrong

 

i wish ill have the funds to stay with the original engine and buy the k, but i dont and i really purchase the car to enjoy it and take it to the track...

What do u people think about a Type S k series swap???

 

The k20a2 is the new GSR motor, so it's good. Some cams, I/H/E, and a tune. It'll feel nice.

 

k20z1 is a type s....and it is great


the reason i say go z1 or z3 is cause those are newer motors and have low miles..

if i was you i would just supercharge your car and put down 260 whp and spend only 4500...

 

I know the K makes awesome power and torque with just a few bolt -ons and tuning but I's never do it to my R. Maybe in another chassis, I'd give that some thought.

 

j series is where its at

 

I love K series but if I had a clean title unmolested R the B series is staying in there forever. If the car was salvage and I had to rebuild it. K series would be the first modification.

 

the thing is i want power on N/A engine.

 

why not k20r and them j series are getting some serious attention

 

K is the way!. If you cant afford a K20a(R) get a K24a2 from an RSX, they are like 2.4L type S motors. Try to get a 06+ and you'll be a happy camper!

 

k24a2 from an rsx? i think u meant k20a2 or k24 from a tsx. 06+ rsx-s came with k20z1

 

why dont u just add some cams and some good bolt ons to ur c5? i made 196whp with toda specAs and some good bolt ons bottom end is stock. there is obviously more power to be made with a k20 but i wouldnt do the swap.

 

s/c on 7 pounds is reliable as factory with 240-250 horse....and you keep the original motor

 

i wouldnt do it, the money vs. hp between the two is a bad ratio. plus with the b you already have ac/ps.
