Rep Power: 296 just so you know you cant swap an older motor into a new car, its illegal in most states, ( the motor has to be the same model year as the car or newer), and uhh, yeah id definitely do a k20 b4 i did a b16, but whatever i dont believe you anyway.

Rep Power: 296 umm that youd swap an old technology motor and 5 speed into place of a d17 and not just do a k20, and in general that you are dumb enough to swap an older motor into a 2001-2004 car.

Rep Power: 0 Cause all I hear is bad stuff from the i vtec
I didn't have 5,000 to by a k20
and i didn't want the weight of a k24, that thing would be a nose heavy pig, old technology it is the same engine that every single person with their 2000 civic si has. The d17 was a weak engine and it would cost more to have that thing built up polished, sleeved and then turbo to it's 8 maybe 9 psi, then it is to put an already stronger motor in with less miles then i have on my d17.

Rep Power: 0 Good luck, dont really think you can put a B16 in a 7th gen. But what do I know. By the way a K20 will blow away a B16 mod for mod. And what bad things are there about a K20. So let me get this straight, you have no harnesses, no engine mounts, pretty much you aint got ****. Well I would have to say this aint gonna happen. Im putting a chevy 350 in my 7th gen. You said you dont have the money for a k20, but yet you have thew money to custom fab a B16 swap into a 7th gen. 
Gonna have to say

Rep Power: 0 I admit the splicing is going to be the biggest pain but both the b16 and the d17 sit the same way in the car the k20 turns different so it sits different. The mechanic told me the custom mounts won't be a problem he deals with a machine shop that just did some for a different swap. How are you going to put a 350 in a 7th? Are you going to have more of a problem then i am.

Rep Power: 296 so lets do a money count here:
how much did the "JDM" B16a2 cost you?
and the tranny?
and the motor mounts?
and the turbo?
and the custom exhaust?
and the wiring harness?
and the ecu?
and the labor?
am I missing anything?

Rep Power: 0 Well since i can't hear your voice it is kind of hard to hear the sarcasim. I bought the d17 in 2001 first year. Didn't really no much just wanted a new car. Found how much the engine sucks, and want to do something different that hasn't been done. And as far as I know this has not beed done.

Rep Power: 0 And for the person who said it was illegal! lol
How many laws do we everday.
Drinking for those not of age did you do it thats illegal ut oh you broke a law.
Not fully stopping at a stop sign. opps there is another one.
Street racing ohhh thats a big one (they impound your car for that one in philly)
Now if you don't do any of the above your a pretty good citizen but don't tell me that you don't go above the speed limit. Cause if you don't then you shouldn't even be in here talking to me.

Rep Power: 375 OK if you want to talk about doing the swap, what are you going to do about the shift linkage? They are totally different. Are you going to drill a hole in the floor?
FYI the new K-series motors are way better than the B-series. It will cost you more to install this B16 than it would for you to install a K20. Plus you can find K20A2s for $3500. And all the parts that are needed are pretty much out. And I've got the Clutch line you would need.
