K20 conversion!!!

[KLR-16A]

Hey ppl, wats it cost to hav a K20 put in a eg civic driven away????anyone noe a rough figure or so???. Cheers

[MWAKU]

go search

12-16k

[LiL FiLo]

depending if you source all the parts yourself, and if your using "branded" parts or not...
on a budget about 12k.... proper done job you'll be looking close to 20k.....
by "proper job" im saying change of brakes, sussy, tuning, other bolt on's associated with the motor swap, engineers certif, possibly change of rims for traction sake, other aesthetic items and labour. PM yonas - JDM Yard... he'll give you a rough idea

[Benson]

depends on who you know and how well you shop. If your not afraid with buying from overseas, hit up k20a.org for second hand parts

your dreaming buddy. Check your facts. Im sure there's alot your forgetting. Its an insult to the kswap guys who do it properly and know much really goes into a conversion.

[EK1.6LCIV]

ok to this this to 'bed' I have copied a list, one I use on another forum to try and show ppl what is involved in terms of parts alone, then add a 25k budget (as 70% of the parts are made in the usa have to be flown in, then youd have to find a shop that does the installs) so here it is via k20a.org :D

20k. 140+kw atw. With quality parts and a decent priced install.

^^^ why spend so much when you can get a dc2r set up for less making 141kw???

[OMG.JAI xD]

^^^ why spend so much when you can get a dc2r set up for less making 141kw???

Reading fails you.

141kw is at the engine for a b18c.

A b18c with a y80/s80 lsd box makes 110-115kw atw.

And i did say 140+ (PLUS). And the OP did not ask for alternatives. You can get a b18c turbo making heaps more power than any n/a k series swap spending the same amount of money. But each to their own. If i had 20K itll go into a h2b or turbo b series setup.


Too many people think a swap is just takin the old engine and put new one in with new mounts and wiring harness. That only applies if the engine bay of that car was made to accomodate the oem mounts for that engine. ie DC/EG/EK + B series.

As ek1.6 has listed. There is more to it than just in out.

[Moey.C]

so does that mean if he was to get a b18cr engine it would be ALOT easier? and cheaper ? ?

[iwantvtec]

eg is lighter + its more fun to build ur car. Ground up rather than buying the "whole package"
