I have been researching and am thinking around 7K if I DIY and 8K if I have a shop do it. Is this reasonable or am I still thinking to low?? Note: that it is the K20A not the A2, I really think that it would be worth the extra $ to have LSD and 20hp.

or just wait for my to sell my swapped civic in the not super distant future.
you dont have the k20A do you?? I thought you had the A2. Anyways the entire reason that I am doing this is because I can't get rid of my car for a good price so I am going to keep it. If I was going to get a new car it would be a S2k
I think your going to spend a minimum of 8k for the engine. thats the range i calculated it to be with the lsd and type-r engine k20a. Id rather pay for the type-r too
thats with all the little extra stuff you will need to buy during your swap.

After more research I am thinking I can get it for 8K installed if I did it myself it would be about 1K less. The engine sells for an average of 5,500 compared to the type S that sells for 3500-4000. I have also decided that due to the fact that I can't get rid of my car unless I give it away I am going through with it and am going to pay extra to get the shop to do it. I think it will be one badass civic and with a couple of bolt-ons it can easily hit mid 13s
my only concern now is that after alot of $ and work I have the car handling like a dream, but the extra weight in the front is going to through off my spring rates and I may have to get different springs for my Teins.
I just did a k20a in my car. I got the whole swap for $4400 (but this was discounted, threw a friends account at H motors.com) then I sold the 5 lug axles and put in 94-01 Integra GSR axles (fits great) I went with the GSR ones because they are only $120 for both at Napa. Vs. 02-03 civic si or a 5 lug swap (more $$$). I mostly see k20a swaps go for 5500-6300. The usually have everything you need. Also Hasport mounts are easy to get off eBay for $375-$475 (new) I got mine for 400 (new) on eBay.
Also you could do what my buddy is doing. He got a k20a3 swap off eBay for $2000, everything he needed, for 2k. And only 7k miles on it. He is going to drive that until he gets some more cash, then he is going to swap the pistons, crank, final drive gear and head. Total he has priced those parts at about $1500 (some used some new) and k20 lsd at $500 when he dose all this he will have a k20a at only 3500-4000 (but only 5 speed but with gears 1-3 the same as the type r)
