Just bought a 01 with 37k original miles. Plans are kswap turbo etc...

Currently has no motor in it.

 

Sweet man keep us updated!!

 

Very clean R shell!

 

Oh so lovely. How much did you pick it up for?

 

Clean **** shell! Good luck with the swap. Keep us posted with pictures!

Beautiful car!!! more pics,story?

 

welcome!

 

hmm was it the shell located in san diego with salvage title?

 

In for updates and pics!

 

Congratulations on your new R.

 

Damn that shell is purrrrty!!

Are you going to have a build thread?

 

Looks freaking great! Nothing like a super clean ITR shell to start a project Keep us updated on her.

 

nice find. Wish I could have found one.

 

So far the "plan" is my k20 stock block with my gt3076r. Chase bays harness and everything cleanly done. I have to go to work for 2 weeks so I get to plan out what I can do. I am getting alot of people that say I should take a c5 and put it back in. I personally think that the best chassis should get the best motor.

IMO the k20 is far better then the c5.

 

Yes.

 

K motors are good but i would go with a C5 in it. Good luck with your plans

 

This one has a clean title and has never been in an accident and has all original paint. Located in Anchorage Alaska

 

Why would you put a c5 in it? It's just not fast enough for me. Plus either way the number wont match cause they already got rid of the original c5. So lets make the type r better then the original with a k20 cleanly done.

 

Agreed! If you got the money and time why not.

 

your gonna turbo it anyway? why wouldnt the C5 be fast enough?

i dont like the K, but that my opinion based on everyone elses opinion. i really dont care what motor you put in it. i just question weather its the best choice for your goals...

 

congrats bro enjoy her k or b as long as u use quality parts............ good luck with your build.....

 

good luck with the build.. clean *** shell fa sho!

 

I'm just curious as to why such a nice, clean Type-R shell has no motor...i'm assuming the other one was stolen or went out? Anyways, definitely keep us updated. Can't wait to see the final product. A build thread would be much appreciated.

 

The K puts out about 100 more hp on stock block and head compared to the R. I'm assuming that the max on the R is 450whp from what I have had experience with. My friends k20 with boost on stock block and head makes 550+. Between the 2 platforms, if his goal is power for boost then k20 all the way.

Im curious to see how your build turns out. Cant wait for more pics on the story on heR.
