Just do a search man, this topic has been driven into the ground already. Here, this took me 30 seconds to find.

Cars with K's in them have shitty designed suspensions and weight too much.

the price of the swap isn't outrageous. I'll be doing the work myself so labor cost isn't an issue. I can get axles easily enough, especially if I can use integra ones.
The big thing is what custom pieces are necessary? Seeing that the splines on the end of the axles are the same is really good. That takes some difficulty out of it. Wiring i hear is a bitch, but it just takes time. I don't like the problem with the cluster but this isn't really going to be a daily driver so I wouldn't be against wiring in aftermarket guages. If the mounts are around $600, i can handle that.
It won't be cheap but as far as money for parts it's not all that much more than a b18c5 swap.

Uhh, I've never seen an ITR swap run $8,000. Just wondering, how much are you expecting to pay for the K20?

I've never seen a k20 for $8000 either. Might be out there but if you pay that I've got some oceanside property in Arizona to sell you.
You can get a DC5-R swap for $5800 from very reputable sources. I've seen them on ebay for under $5k. I'm sure USDM motors can be had for similar or less if you look, i've seen many in the low $5k range.

JHP must have just lowered their prices. I stand corrected, $5,800 is the price for a JDM DC5-R swap from JHP.
Tell me more about this property you have...
