Im looking to get a 4th gen civic within the next couple of months and by winter im wanting to give it to a shop and have a bunch of work done so im trying to find out how much roughly i will need to get everything done right.
what im wanting done is as the title suggests i want a k20 swap, i want a light build to increase reliability as it will be my daily, full suspention from front to back, and a light turbo looking to make 300-350 whp that will last me many years.
any relative information on how much this will cost at a shop would be helpful, i am lightly mechanically inclined but dont want to do the work myself because i dont trust myself for this intense of a build and want it to be extremely reliable.
i was thinking somewhere in the realm of 25k (not including price of car) and was planning on going hmotors for the swap kit. Should that be enough for what i want, everything done right and done at a shop?

 

Suggestion for a DD, buy an 8th gen for 6k.

Then spend 19k building your kswapped dream EF.

Profit.
