yeah the k series engine is cool but you are gonna pay anywhere between 3 - 5k just for the engine. Then figure in everything else like getting it to run and let's just say I hope you have a crap load of money. If you want a lot of power for a decent price with a super easy swap get a B18C1 (type R motor?)

B18C1 = Not TypeR

TypeR USDM = B18C5

I say rebuild the b16a2 you already have.

It's a good engine. Sleeve it and lower the compression and turbocharge it.

:lmao: I was just thinking the same thing.....I figured his sixth or maybe even seventh h22a sense would pick up on the H22A weight argument....since it has been covered about 2094723947923792739 times.

hey, thanks all for the quick responses.....as for re-building the b16a2 that's in my car now, i did think about that, but to be honest, i want something that's a little bit more powerful, stock form, i hope i didn't lose anyone on that....so when i do go and mod it, it'll have more power to play from....As for the b18(typeR), i completely 4got about that motor, thank you and good looks....but i'm really feeling the K-series....its all how my funds play out..i gotta jump on that xrs corolla first, then that's when my fun will begin...again, thank you all...
