k20a question

[01teggy]

Longblock-to-longblock, the K is actually lighter than a B18C (or so I read in SCC). With the transaxle bolted on, I think it's heavier by maybe a couple pounds.

Why would you assume an engine would be heavier just because it displaces more? Think of the B18 (LS) vs. B20. The B20 is based on the LS but is actually lighter thanks to the thinner sleeves.

the k20 tranny is heavier than a b18 tranny so i just figured, u know!!

ok next question, can someone tell me (who actually knows) what is all involved with the swap? i've been reading up on shit, but it would be nice if someone actually told me!! motor, motor mounts, axles, fuel pump, header, shifter box, what else???? would i need a k-pro? and roughly how much does it cost for everything? i heard bout $8000, but i figured at least $10000!!!

definately need a k-pro or some kind of engine management i know that for sure I dont know if there is anything else other than k-pro. I believe people are using accord stuff for the shifter and mounts there are many out there hasport, innovative, etc......as for axles the same as mounts there are many people out there that do custom axles for this swap. Hit up hercules on this board i believe he had a k-series and went back to a b-series

Exactly the same as me. I'm sure there'll be a K in my future. Whether it's my EK or the Fit.
