Hi Peeps,
Just bought a stocko 89 ed civic hatch, just wandering if any one knows how much it cost to convert to one either a B18c5 or a K20a (both ITR)?
Has anyone done this before or know of anyone who has, tips on do's & don't's would muchly appreciated.
And also which one should i go for?
Thanks in advance.
Plus I'm is Brissie
Cheers.

welcome mate....if u got a spare briefcase full of cash i'd go with the k20 ftw !! It all depends on how much u got to spend really ? Also how much u love your car and willing to spend on it just to make it unique ? :)

the car belongs to GnJracing....and its damn quick...
k20a requires alot of money....
b18cr still requires money just not as much :p
also b18c is alot cheaper to work with and alot less hassle...easier to source and parts are readily available

im doing the same thing mate, i got a quote for a b18 halfcut installed, to cost about 9k...
im pretty sure the kseries would be more dearer...

To get someone else to put a B18CR in a carby ED properly with decent mounts & do a major service on the engine as well while its out,your gonna be waving good buy to $12G+.
To do it for $9G,theres gonna be a lot of corners cut somewhere & prob cost a lot more further down the line with repairs,your choice.
