Get a friend who knows exatly what hes doing AND that you trust.. or a freind from a friend alot of shops simply just charge to much. Or get someone from this site.
If you can fit a K20 ive heard nothing bad at all about em.
Then again you should include specs on what car where looking at.

Tag Racecraft in Oakville does a ton of import swaps and mods. They might be worth a call.

well i got a 1993 civc si h/b and i am looking for a cost effective motor than is peppy and wont leave me stranded....i kno that most motors by honda are very reliable....as for the k 20 i have heard great5 things of it but heard it is a job and a half wen it comes to swapping it into an eg. keep the info coming guys...it is much appreciated.

x-treme

well in that case I think u would be best to settle at a b16a for the cost efficiency and reliability

ask for sultan...
Some here can vouch for his great work...
AND BTW B18C5 OR GO HOME

yeah if u can afford 6 grand for the parts

all depends on how much you want to spend...a B16 is less than 1/2 the price of a b18c5, however its definately worth it for what you get. id save your coins if i were you and go all out.

You willl never regret spending money on quality. It's worth the extra to do it right the first time. I'm a VW freak, but I would definentely go with a b18c. And before you put it in, do the cams, Port and Polish, header, etc. Spend the time, and save before you do a job like that. That's why it took 2 years to build the 2l 16v turbo that was in my Rabbit. When I was done, it put out over 380 hp at 25 psi and 390 ft lbs of torque. Granted it cost me close to 8000, but well worth it.

i get get a full b16 for 2500....is that worth it? do they go for cheaper??? im talknig about full swap.....axles computer and all....wat do theser motors go for????

your an idiot thats if you dont know ...sultan from rukus will hook u up if you got the right connection with him its about 4500 - 4800 installed TYPE R MOTOR TRANNY AND OBD1 CHIPPED TO WHATEVER YOU WANT
HE'S THE BEST AT WHAT HE DOES
HE'S THE FIRST IN CANADA TO DO AN EF K20R so that proves my point...

if you just want a bit of pep go with a b18b (LS) or b20. I suggest this b/c with the LS/B20 you can still use 87 octane gas. And they are very torquey engines, with the option of adding a vtec head later on. And the LS/B20 will hold its own if you decide to go turbo.

You honda guys get BRUTALLY ripped off on engine prices.

I can get a 1jzgte or 2jzgte for $1500....including trans/engine/turbos/harness/ecu

Even the sr20's are BRUTALLY over priced for what you get.

And you all thought honda was the cheap route to go.

Markup is a bitch ain't it?
