a guy i work with is doing it in a EG hatch. k24 block, type s head. can't wait to see it.

you should have no problems getting cash for the tranny. just sell a few people the same thing and keep it. ;)

i have been on the prowl for a wrecked/flipped type s but only came up w/ one in my area that i could afford and it was still a little pricey. Im sure ill go k in 2-3 years once pricing goes down a little

Re: Anyone else going k series? Just got my long block today :-)
 
It will be just like it is now. Staggered. Few people doing K's, few more doing B's and a bunch more doing D's.

As prices fall I am sure I will start to look at it more realisticly, but for now, still baller status.

you can do the whole swap in your car running for under 6 grand.

my budget is 7500 including K pro and a mild build.

you'd come damn close with the k series, with only the type s head.

kool idea if u have the money, but a fully built lsvtec i think has potential to be faster for less money.

i would like to see someone build a b series that can put over 260 down on pump gas for under 7500 dollars... that includes the price of the motor.

I think not. thank you!

josh, my friends red civic u seen puts down 276 whp and 185ft tq, on pump gas with 9psi of boost, stock motor with a turbo kit.

if your talking about tq and not hp then there are a few people on here with more than that on a bseries, wow pistons and rods, ---- sleeves 400whp lsvtec with own u with the tq.

If i know Josh, I'm sure he means all motaaa... of course 260 hp could be had with boost for much less, this is much more original in my opinion, and now that Honda is producing the K, and the B is dying out, it might be a better choice in the long run. Looks good Josh...

im sure someone can make some serious power on a b series for 7500, you'd have to be ------- stupid to spend that on a k. jesus man u can get a whole swap for less than that.

Funny how someone makes a post on this board asking if anyone else is going K series, then says nobody on this board is.

Seems to me like Josh is trying to impress us again. What's the point of the post again? ???

he finally scammed and stole from enough people to buy a k-series

1) All motor 4 banger = teh gay, I should know...
2) Since when is the B dieing out ??? In that case, D series are as worthless as A series and I should be able to get a GSR for $400 or so. Wait..

uh.

not in a 4 banger, or most at least.

turbo creates torque.

260hp 200 torque NA motor, all upper rpm power.
260hp 250 torque FI motor, power acrossed most of the rpm band

might not matter for a drag car when you're in the uppers all the time but on the street torque owns

$3800 for complete OMG JDM WTF Type-S swap, plus mounts, was my pgmfi.org hookup six months back. i-VTEC is worth half of that, maybe. That i- ---- won't come into play with a turbocar unless you bog it - whoopty doo 5 whp more in a non-performance low rpm range - and the engine moves too fast for it to mean anything in a turbo car until top of 3rd *if you're slow*. That VTEC ---- has always been worthless.

Enjoy the gearbox falling apart and good luck getting it fixed under warranty.

Yes... I'm a hater...

Eventually K series is going to be a lot cheaper. As soon as some rsx's get wrecked there will be plenty. ive been looking for a k series crv block, if i find one, ill throw a motor together.
