Do it. save up and swap that shitty D17. I'd totally do it if I had the cash flow and the ability to have a bit of downtime with my car.

I'm always up for a K20 swap.Especially if you're getting rid of the D17.Which K20 you aiming for?Type R K20A?8th Si K20Z3?Or the eco K20A3 from the SI EP3?I'd go with the K20Z3 because you'd get to tune it yourself other than the Type R which has been tuned very well stock.

If you can find a K20A, I'd nab that. Isn't the Z3 fly by wire?

Explain what you mean by "fly by wire" RiCeBoY.

electronic throttle control

Oh,I believe it does.Isn't it a good thing if it helps emissions and the drivetrain in changed conditions?I'm not sure about this.All I know is,the Z3 is hella beast with I/H/E.Bolt ons are the key to success with this motor.

Can I do this on on my 99 Si?

VTEC-4.0

Yes,the K20 will fit in your 99 SI Mad Dog.

Mad Dog Tannen

what about the k24?

There is no replacement for displacement!

look up hasport.com

The K24 will also fit.

Mad Dog Tannen

what is a good/cheap place to get either a K20 or a K24 engine? What cars do the K24 come in?

VTEC-4.0

K24's come in mainly the CR-V,TSX,and Accord.As for where to buy them.Try these places:

k24 in an em2: Poor man's TSX

I forgot where I heard/read that.. lol

Mad Dog Tannen

Wow. I just checked out the prices and those K20's are pretty cheap. But I don't think it's worth it, just because I already have a B16.

It sounds good for Polski though.

K20 has more potential than a B16. That being said.. a B16 is a good engine with lots of potential

Mad Dog Tannen

I was just saying what I would get out of it for my time and money is just not worth it. Though I could probably sell my B16 for a good price!

b-series is slowly dieing out..... but if your not looking for crazy numbers than keep the b def

Oh yea I agree with you 100%. If I had a B i wouldn't upgrade to the K because it's just not worth it. But for someone who wants to swap K is the way to go.

PurpCivic

can we even put a b series???? ive seen an H series boosted....

530matt

dollars to cents i would go b series,
you talking close to $6,000 for a nice type r k series,
you could boost/build a hell of a B series for that

ExistEvolution

b16's are dirt cheap

Mad Dog Tannen

I heard that you can put a k20 head on a k24 block and it will get at least 250hp. Is this true?

Does the k24 just have a longer stroke and longer cylinders?
