Re: boosted k-series in a crx
 
keep in mind ryan got the jdm type r k20. im sure that cost him a ton. he stated in a recent post that hes spent about 11k+ on the swap. id also hesitate to do the k20/24 thing. hood clearance with the k20 is already bad, and ive only seen it clear with the sir hood. i cant imagine the k24 block will make it any better. but i could be wrong, i dont know if the k24 has the same deck height or if the difference in displacement is due to bore, stroke, or both.

thats a totally bad outlook on it. he wants a car that is fast. with this swap,turboed it will be just that. it doesnt matter how much the car costs initially. Not to mention the crx is one of the best platforms to make a fast honda. my crx costed me 3K a couple years ago and I've put more than that into it since then...am I wasting my money? ::)

If he has the money, time, and patience to do this, then I'm all for it. I personally do not have the money to do a k swap in my crx, so I'm sticking to b series.

hell yea im sticking with the killa-B

If I had lots of money laying around thats probably what I would build.. But B-series are well proven and can make lots of power.

money is not the issue. and my car is worth well over $1500 and even if it wasn't thats not the point. i think the k24/k20 swap would be the most sensible and also shouldn't have any problems with clearance because i have the sir frontend. i can realistically pull this off for less than the numbers you guys are projecting. eBay is your friend

Made of money are we? and if money isnt the issue what is? Installing it and fabbing up a turbokit should be cakewalk.

Most sensible? whys that? B-series engines are well proven. You can make a 600+whp B-series cheaper than you could do your entire K-series swap for, not to mention it would be way easier.


and also shouldn't have any problems with clearance because i have the sir frontend.
I dont think so, BrianG from HAsport said that when using the K24 block there is no way, not even the SIR hood will fit.

Dont get me wrong, I think K-series are great engines, but are still to pricey. The mountkits, ecus, clutch kits.. everything is still just way to spendy. But like you said.. if you got the money, time, and know how to fab.. go for it =)

If money is no issue than this thread isn't even necessary. Start ordering parts.

you're bein sarcastic, right??? anyways..... i think that the k swap would deffinatley be fun, but not worth it right now. parts are still way expensive, and the engine alone is gonna cost a gripload. for the money you would end up payin, you could have a fully built b thrown in there w/ a nice turbo/mani, and all the other goodies.
