it would be a hella lot cheaper because the k20 is so much in demand. you should proble just get some used b18 motor and drop it in there.

its gonna be a bitch to get it to fit because no one has ever done this. I think its highly illegal if its done in cali and unless its a b18 type r screw it i rather get a k20 no matter what the demand is or price

Unfortunately it's illegal to swap a motor into a car if it's older than the production year of the car. Good luck trying to get any kind of inspection passed with it.

Look you retarded *** noob... You are far from making me look bad or proving me wrong in any way. Did I ever say it hasn't been done or it wasn't possible? No.

I said... "Unfortunately it's illegal to swap a motor into a car if it's older than the production year of the car. Good luck trying to get any kind of inspection passed with it."

Maybe you should learn to read. It's help explain the pretty pictures.

Maybe reading your own sentence would help you to understand. I never said it couldn't be done.

Again, learn to read.

this thread makes my head hurt.

Anywho, yes this swap has been done before. As far as i know, its only been done by one person who is a member on this board; Mirage. The motor was completely built and destroked to something like 1.2L. The motor was customn built and the swap was VERY long. Motor mounts were custom made, as well as all the wiring.

The fact is, in most states you have to have a motor made on the same year or later as the production date of the car. If you think the price of a k20 swap is too high, look into doing the k24 swap. They're cheaper motors and also give you more options and a little more displacement for more power and torque. If you swap in a K24 from a CRV or accord, you can always swap a K20A2 head later on for more performance. This is what Hondaluver did and is proving very effective.

Now everyone STFU and stop bitching at each other. A mod should probably lock this thread as this question is asked EVERY day.

I wouldn't go around calling people youngsters or idiots. Your profile says your 23 years old, but your acting like a 12 year old by arguing like you are. Pathetic? I think so.

As a side note, you're older than pointless by 6 months. Wow, you really are older than him.

Actually, I'm just bored at work. It's 12:57 and I'm done for the day. Hell, if I have 4.5 hours left til I can leave and half an hour before lunch, why not sit here and watch you make yourself sound stupid. Hell, I'm getting $18 an hour for it. Why not.

Wow. So another of the millions of Americans that's seen FMJ. Wow, now I'm impressed. And $18 an hour flipping burgers? Jeebus, let me know where you live. Cost of living must be outrageous. Do you ride a mystical unicorn to work too?
