$3k for a k20a half cut sounds ridiculously cheap. I'm at a loss to that one. Too good to be true I thinkQuote:

Yeah its why i was thinking about going for thr k swap instaid but how much more of a hassle is it? Dont think ill go the l swap now :(
Kswap will definately cost and involves more work than a bswap.Quote:

Then u will need to buy extra stuff like engine mounts, throttle cable, custom clutch line, new headers/exhaust, custon dc5/b18 dshafts, full service, new radiator or use existing from ur car, new radiator hoses, custom ps/ac lines etc etc.
Kswap generally costs around 9-13k professionally installed. People often mistaken that just coz its a half cut its a easy swap ... Well its not for the begineers.
Bswap is easy backyard job or prof installed for 2-5k running depending on the bseries u go with.
U can do the maths bud :)
yeah the k swap is looking to become more expensive :( so ill prob just stick the b swap :) im still looking for a 18c or a 16b or a 16a which still is gonna cost me roughly 4k :/ which is really kinda pushing my budget sadly
Yeh kswap is fun but costs alot. (ive got a k24 em1).
Speak to the boys at BYP as far as i knw they still got a b16a package ready to go into any car. Cheap too.
I got my b16b for sale for 4k with a few bolt ons ready to drop in no more parts to buy, and you could do the whole thing diyQuote:

if you want to go b series you will need to a get a 98 spec ek9 engine package or a em1 engine package as you have a 0bd2 ek cxi
this is a straight bolt in, nothing else needed if you get one of those complete package above
you will need engine, gearbox, all ek engine mounts, drive shafts, obd2b engine loom and interior harness/ecu, and shift linkages
a brake upgrade is recommended
if you buy any other b series it is not a straight bolt in and will need extra parts/work and money to make it fit
labour wise people do conversions for 1-2 k depending on many variables
so your 4k budget will maybe get you a b16a2 from a em1 into your car
or you can save your self hassles and sell your car for 3-4 k and use the money you have and buy a car already done from honda or buy a car thats had a conversion
the last advice is best for virgin b series conversion owners
best of luck yoshi
cheers for the info lan yeah i found a guy who is gonna do the conversion to a 16a :)
