K20a Aus spec or Jdm H22A type S

yeah, you wanna lay out the approx costs of a h2b swap though.......

$799 US Dollars for the H2B kit + shipping = approx $1200-$1300 AUS landed
$300-$600 for aluminium flywheel
$1000-$1800 for b series box with lsd
$1000-$2000 for h series engine

- other things to factor in, mounts, alternator problems, balance shaft problems, the amount of work to get it to work properly if your not doin it yourself costs big $$$. its not a straight swap as lots of people may think, even quartersports says to be prepared to drop the motor in and out a few times before you will get it all to fit right....

also have you seen the hood clearance issues this kit leaves you with?

so in the end i dont personally think it is the 'best' bang for buck option in this case.....

they're all just pulling prices outta their asses, i called around for so long and found a good H22a type S frontcut for $4500, and a normal japspec H22a for $3000 and as i said that was really dodgy, other places had h22a halfcuts for around the 4k mark. and the chepaest installer i found quoted me $2400 drive in and out in 2 weeks, he would do all the custom mounts etc u just need to get the halfcut to him along with ur car.
so all up ur looking at 6k for H22a conversion, thats with stock clutch etc, 8k for H22a type S, and god knows how much for a K20a...

EDIT*
the prices i quoted were for a conversion for a CD5 accord, if anything its more for a civic as i'd imagine more work has to be done..

you guys crack me up. the orginal poster had the prices pretty much spot on and that's with install done by them at home, the extra costs are just parts needed to make it all work. so they are the only 2 prices we should be discussing.

there's no point in discussing any other prices, cause that's got nothing to do with it, because different people can get things for different rates.

For example the guy above is saying it would cost him 6k for a h22 conversion in his accord. I'm pretty sure if i had an accord it would cost me half that, so no point arguing on prices.

ahh whats a swap without mods Richard;) no fun:thumbdwn:

Ive had both H22 Type S and A jdm k20
both engine had similar mods , header, intake, full exhaust, hondata/kpro
the k20 responded well with these mods compared to the h22 altho the h22 had great topend the in its class

in my opinion h22 and boost it just to be unique
but thats just me

i called around and done my research and put up the prices, not like some people that are just guessing how much it'll be, everyone gets diff prices but at the end of the day if u and me both call the same place we'll get the same price unless one of us knows someone there or u know somewhere better to call...

back from the dead. We have choosn our setup. Write-up will be up soon.

no doubt k20 FTW...cnt go wrong..
