hey, like evryone else, been looking at fi or swap. Trying to guage if anyone in alberta is looking at either, seriously, and if so, is there any interest in trying to get a few of our cars sawpped or turbo'd for a potential group discount. I'm not talking tomorrow, but in winter season. I'm getting discouraged with the fi, but swaps around here are 10-12k. Maybe if two or more were done, it could stick around the 10k mark? Also, its not illegal for us to swap older motors, would there be interest in this? b16b, b18, whatever.

Hmm I thought it has to be like same year or newer motors.. can't have older motors in your model year car. But ya that'll be nice to have money for that stuff... But too poor at the moment. Haha probably use that money for other things first.

Most of the Americans are saying that, I wonder if it applies in Canada too, if we can swap older engines into our cars or not.

A lot of people seem to be swapping to the Japanese K20A on this site, I'd say that a TypeS swap might be a good deal cheaper, or even the K20 from a Civic Si(R). Even the lower HP from the SiR will give you more headroom if you want to go FI, assuming of course you can find room under the hood to fit everything

the K20 is so tiny, if you put that in your years car there should be huge huge room to add FI goodies

I wish I could afford to do a swap right now, cuz I would do a K20A with 6 speed, but school is expensive.. ;P Hope someone will want to buy my engine when the time comes

Canada, especially Alberta is a lot more relaxed on swap rules than u.s. I agree k20 would be best but older b series are a lot cheaper.

i don't think a B series would fit in 7thgens without some major major modification. by that time i don't think it would be cheaper.
