Re:K motors

Re:K motors
Yeah theres abeen alot of posts, articles, and discussions in the Ef/CRX forum on H-T. Too expensive for my taste though.

Re:K motors
dude swapping those k series into older hatches is insanely difficult and costly, the ecu for those can only work with the original key and ignition form the car it came from, the ecu will not activate without that key and ignition, and the wiring is mad crazy, i am pretty knowledgable at swapping engines into civics, but i read the article in sport compact car, and man i wouldnt even know where to start for a ef civic, the obd 2 ek hatch was a bitch on wheels from what it looks like...but if u can do it more power to u, and u would be tha man..

Re:K motors
overall lack of support on those motors makes them undesirable. Good luck getting a hold of a USDM RSX-S or a JDM ITR that are only a year or so old.

Re:K motors
Read the latest Sports Compact Car, there's a whole article covering K series motors into ek. I wonder would be the same to have one in my integra. ;D

Re:K motors
The K-series motor is too expensive and not practical until they become more available. Right now its soo popular because its the "in" thing to do. With the money spent on a K swap, you could build a badass B-series

I know what you meant was"with that money you could build 2 bad ass D series engines and have one as a spare" Ill let that one slide Whitey ;) |
Re:K motors
The K is definitely a better built engine than anything we have. But really, B series work great, abundant, cheap, easy. Why even waste your time?!?!
