Kick ass...
How much are the motors going for? If anyone is planning to do a swap your best bet would probably to go this route now. The best part about it is that this will probably drive the prices of B series swap down now dramatically in case anyone wants to still get one. Hybrid Racing They got video too Maybe they been doing em a while now but hey i quit doing engine mods a while ago.. went to stereo...so im late

Motors are expensive. In a few years they'll be like Bseries, and drop in price hopefully. They are badass motors though. If I had the money, I'd do a K24 CRV block and a K20 RSX type S head. People are getting crazy numbers out of those.

yes they are...
very true!!! I saw a k20a2(from an rsx-s) powered 02 SI WALK an EVO at a meet here in Houston last summer. hatch had a few boltons and it was gutted. the EVo looked dropped and very nice too!! it was orgazmic :P btw the engines can run from $1500 for an A3(SI) to $5000.00 for a JDM K20A. |

I just tripped off this too, http://www.jdmjapanparts.com/Index.html - Has the B16 series swaps for under $2,500, and B18c complete for under $3,500 I remember those figures being alot more around a year or even 2 ago. I myself Have a RSX type S swap in my vision if people keep kickin ass at the tracks with these motors..
A bitch on my behalf would have to be my auto - manual conversion.. Gonna cost me a bit more bit Im still gonnna do it and do the shit right!! anyone know how much extra it might cost me to convert my tranny when doing a K20 swap?? I gotta 5th gen ex coupe |

rsx-s swap would be killer.... way to expensive though, and I heard it's a bitch to install

It was only a matter of time b4 they would be popular.
Still IMO not worth it until the price drops and they become easier to put into older Hondas! |
