ok the k20 is alot of money looking at like 5 grand you could go with a h22 like 20 less hp and only 2000grand around their for the moter, and just do internals, cams, ajustable cam gears, pressure regulator, fule pump, injectors and so on. youll make some good hp oh and for the swap youll need drive shaft, ecu, engine mounts, and wiring it up is a bitch

Oh in a four door that might be tight to fit in youll have to look it up. I didint see any mounts for a k20 to fit in, but if you get it in then that sweet but moneys going to have to have alot

The reason people choose to go with the k20 is for more reasons than just its HP output. Its combined with an awesome transmission, also a better engineered motor that flows well and can be tuned to produce... Weight is another factor

Interms of doing the swap, refer to www.k20a.org
Depending on what you plan to do, you'll be looking at anywhere from $7000 - $12000 (approx.)...

i'm not a h22 hater, i just prefer the k20... money comes and goes, do it once, do it right.
