ive really been thinking of gettina k20 like this http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc...age&item=30028

a guy at my school swapped in a k20 into his eg. ive been reading and it seems like it has way more potential than a b18c1. it says 450 added if i needm ounts and 350 for the axles. im seriouslythinjking of getting this

i have 4500 dollars now... i dont know how much shippin will be...anyone have an estimate...ill prolly need to save up 500 more bucks...

do u think this is a good idea.








can anyone send mea link to a site or somewhere if u know that tells you or helps you to know how to swap in a k20 into a 92-95 civic.

if you're serious about a k20 swap go over to www.k20a.org and start reading

imo the price of a complete swap is still way too expensive to justify. maybe in a few years when the price of everything starts coming down, but not right now.

b18c1 all the way. like i said a k20 swap is just to expensive at the moment unless you can find crazy deals.

but for a b18c1 to be as fast or as good as a k20 would have to be boosted right?? and if u boost a b18c1...then thatd be more expensive then a k20 ...right?
