Swap or not
Swap or not
Ok well i have been reading the forums for the past couple of days and i have noticed that if you have a SI then you seem to be better off with swapping. Well as it may be I do have an Si. It is a 2002 and I have been looking at some engines and doners but I don't know what i should do. I would like to throw a B-18 into it but from what i read your better off with a K20. I just dunno what to do. I have a d17a2 in there right now. I don't know what to do, I am not terribly experienced with car work but i have a bunch of friends who are good with cars that want to help. Let me know what you figure should be done.
Thx

Re: Swap or not
you dont have an si if you have a d17a2. that motor come in the 01-05 ex. you could put in a turbo. which is around 4000 to do it right or you could do a k swap which is between 8 and 10 thousand. b series motors wont fit in our cars at least with out tons of modification and alot of money.

Re: Swap or not
Nope.. you will be looking for EX/LX parts from the U.S. Some parts matter whether it's EX or LX and some don't. A turbo kit doesn't matter. An exhaust or header is all you really have to worry about, those are pretty model specific.
And on a completely shameless plug, I'll be pulling my turbo kit off the middle of this month.

i have a turbo ex couple.everyhting is done right. i spent about 12g. you should k swap and then turbo it and push 35lbs daily with no problems. k24, k-pro, axles,tranny, mounts, linkage, clutch, looking at about 6500 for just that but ****. i know a guy with 330whp with stock k24. ran 10.9 1/4 mile ITB's, kpro. and a bangin tune.

define your definition of stock. Sounds more like he has internal work, high compression etc etc.
Fully built bottom ends with a type S head, ppl are putting down roughly 250-275whp.
no way a stock k24 puts down 330whp without major work or it being boosted.

there is no STOCK k24 that will push 330whp.
