Hi guys. First of all, sorry if this is a commonly covered subject. I've been out of the scene for a couple of years now. At college without my car = low modding desire. Anyways, what does the conversion to a k20 or k24 cost now? A couple of years ago it was around $7k, but that included the motor and tranny, I believe.

What all is involved with the swap, what all is needed other than the motor, tranny, and wiring harness, and how much would it all cost now? Thanks.

Correctly done, roughly around 10k

costed me 5000 back then.. possibly less for the complete swap

Maybe, I should've asked which k20 model you're talking bout. The model that I'll be getting is the K20A-type-r motor which for the complete swap is running for $5600, the K20A2 type s is going for about $4000, K24 around $1600. So a little over $5600 for the motor, tranny, and ecu to my door. plus a little money for internals, mounts, and whatever fab work i'd need.

well this cost was actually for everything plus getting the motor (k20a) in the car and running and driving it around

a JDM K20A is $6000 on jdmcarboy.com + the labor if u dont know how to swap an engine so i'd say around $8000. Im also thinking about swapping like a B16A, H22A, K20A. I'm not for sure though.. the H22A has more horsepower and torque but tthe K20A is lighter .. any suggestions?

4000 for a K20a2? where u looking? 5400 is the best i've found and another 2000 for mounts, wiring, etc..at least thats what the DIY forum section listed it roughly as. then u have another 1-2000 in labor cost for someone that knows how to do engines, if ur like me and have no idea nor the time to let your car just sit so u can DIY... then u have to tune it, and after that if your looking for Boost, ur turbos another 3500 then tuning and installing it, so yea 10 is about right for just the swap, extras from other cars and labor....

Best price i found for a K20A2 was around $5600.

if you compare motors
a h22a produces
200hp@7200RPM
163lb-ft@6500RPM

a k20a produces
220hp@8000RPM
206lb-ft@7000RPM

a k20a2 (type-s) produces
200hp@7000RPM
142lb-ft@6000RPM

in the case of-
a JDM h22 vs a US k20a2 (type-s)
the h22 makes more power

if you go JDM h22 versus JDM k20
the k20 makes 20 more hp and almost 40 more lbs of torque

not to mention that the difference is weight also

a B16 weighs 403 lbs
a h22 weighs 506 lbs
a k20 weighs 401 lbs

I call BS unless you got a major hookup or your talking about the 160hp rated K20A.

btw, whats the hp/torque for the k24 frank swap? it seems to be so much cheaper.... would it cost less to go k24 frank and turbo? than just straight k20?

apparently you havent been on this board long enough.. i was the 3rd person to ever buy hte hasport mounts that was made for our year cars.. i was the one that wrote the DIY on how to do the k20 swap into the cars.. i work at an automotive shop..

also he asked how much everyone spent.. you gotta remember that i bought the motor back in the beginning of 2002 when the swaps where not as popular and nobody was really doing it yet.. back then the motors were goin for cheap.. that same motor i could sell for 5000 right now if i wanted to.

back then thats how much i spent.. of course now its a bit different.. if you look at my price guide the price i put might not be the same as they are now.. rough estimiate

I got the entire car for 4500 6450 miles NOT A BAD DEAL ehhh

So did you get rid of your K swap, or did you just not list it on your profile, cause the only swap I see listed is the DX to EX swap. and as far as I know prices start high and then drop not the other way around. Your story would be more believable if you said you got the hookup on the motor or you got it from some kid who didn't know any better

of course you didnt do enough searching.. if you go here

i also have written a few FAQ's and FYI topics.


another thing.. why would you want me to LIE to everyone and say i got a hookup and/or got it from a kid who didnt know better..??!!
tell the truth and feel better about it even if people dont believe you.. at least u know you told the truth about it

ThatGuy4life

I've already seen your DIY's in your sig, I'm talking about your profile where your mods are listed, no mention of a K series swap, just dx to ex swap, but anyways which series K did/do you have

ESK1k20A2

yeah that
do u have a k20a or k20a2

jus got back from the club and kinda tipsy so dont mind if my typgin seems a bit off

i figured since i wrote the DIY and i do mention my car in the DIY then you would think my car has a k20 swap in it...

i went from a k20a to a k20/k24 build...

i have a profile with my mods??

.. haha.. just looked at my profile.. 100% of all those things i listed are no longer on the car.. i went through 3 body style changes.. 4 sets of rims.. and so many bought and sponsored parts swapped in and out.. i literally changed everything out since i last updated that.. those mods listed was stuff i had on the car back in 2004..

ThatGuy4life

Time for an update then, don't you think. lol
