I wanna know once and for all what the best engine swap for our car is? im sure this has been asked many times but i want to know what people are swaping with and how much it costs, what extra parts are needed and so on

Money makes it all possible.
I would get the K20 and a turbo, but my funds are very limited, so I'll just keep my D17 monster and go with SF turbo.

yea.. i got 6 grand that i can let you borrow even though my car only has an SRI in it.. lemme just pull it outta my ***..

then you need to put a bunch of internals in the K20A3 with a 9:1 compression ration throw on a turboneitics T61 turbo so you can get mad horsepower at 30psi. think about it 500hp at 30psi of boost. that should be fun. if you can get the rubber to stick.

grimace360

oh yeah with all that is said you are looking at more like a $13,000 swap if you are lucky

03civicdx

ok xriceboyx it turns out i need closer to 13 thousand. Do we still have an open deal were you lend me the money and i try and pay you back someday? By the way thanks for all the help from everyone so far. Also i heard an h22 engine can fit in with special motor mount adapters, is this true?

CivicRookie

No, the H22 won't fit. Unless you move the firewall back...

i'll loan you $13,000.
you don't even need to make payments to me for the first three months.
after that 3 months, i want $350 a month, untill you pay off your loan.
with that loan, i want 22% APR interest.

that means it is going to be a 65 month loan, with a payoff of $22533.33

does that sound ok to you?

IMO I would go through DH racing and have them build your motor up it will be a lot easier and more affordable than a K20 turbo plus you will see a lot more hp from the D17 with the work that they can do for around 6k fully built engine with SF turbo kit all ready to drop right back in about amonth later but that is what I am going to do plus also making you car a big time sleeper..

you have to flip the H22 around 90 degrees too...sure it will fit...lots of custom
work and it would never pass emissions being that it is an older engine in
a newer car....good luck getting the K20A to pass.

ok ill take the loan send the cash through the mail and i promise on my life that when i get it (if i get it) ill tell you seriously but cash only
