What do you guys think would be the best powerplant, as in most power while not sacrificing reliability and everyday driveability, for an EK9?

 

For one, if you have an EK9, keep your CTR motor. If you don't, then I say you should search. I'm sure this has never been covered.

I dont have a CTR motor. I wish I did. Its just the stock DX motor. To drop a CTR motor in would cost about 4.5k right? Would that be worth it? Would it be reliable?

first of all.. SEARCH..

is it worth it? That's up to you to decide..

Reliability? If it weren't, Honda wouldn't have made it.

Cost? JDMhondaparts.com has one for $3800, shipping is usually around 300. ~4300-4500 total depending on whatever else you want to upgrade before you put the engine in.. my guess is swap out the clutch while the engine is out..
