swap vs. turbo
 

I own a 7th gen civic and I was wondering if swapping in the K20 was worth the extra $$ compared to building a turbo kit for it. Let me hear your opinions...

you guys are dumb, the K20 itself is not expensive, its the parts you need for the swap that add up, all in all the K20 swap will cost as much as a B18C5 swap and will produce much more power, I would go for the K20 swap if I had the money, ----, in an EG a K20 with bolt ons would walk on most of your turbo cars.
No offence, and if you turbo the K20? well you've got one hell of a wallet just in case and alot of balls, and also a 10 second car.

not really, my friend has a k20 type with a lot of money into it, i walked him in my four door civic with gsr and a 40 shot. I even had a full car and he was by himself in a crx. He paid way too much to go slow, him and my other friends h22 hatch were dead even
