honestly, that's about it. Everything else is going with the car.

I do have a golden eagle sleeved b16 FS tho ... only looking for 1000 bucks.

It'll be 85mm after the machine work tho. Comes with everything but an oil pan, rods, bearings, and a lower gasket kit. Brand new CP 9:1 pistons and brand new cometic oem thickness 85mm headgasket, the crank and pumps have like 5000 miles max on them.

I know your power goals are higher than mine, but golden eagle said there'd be no problem taking this to 550whp (i didn't ask about more..)

everyone's jumping on my bandwagon

buy a good, solid daily driver ... and then split the cost of an all motor kswapped race car build in a couple years

yea ... if you say so

the fact that a bolt on k makes as much power as a built b says enough for me. ha.

hmmm lets see. you was there for the last import night where my best friends crx with a 2.0 gsr beat the 2.7 yellow k series with itbs big ass cams in the finials he had a better et time then the k but just was sleepin on the tree.... if you know what your doin you can build a b series thats faster then what you will pay to put a K in a car. 5600 for motor trany, another grand for motor mounts, another grand for good axles plus all the time tring to fit shit up

did you talk to Nikos OR the owner of the yellow K car? If you did you'd know that it was untuned, and they were just data logging each run and changing little things here and there on the fly. When they did the cams and whatever else was changed since last year, they actually LOST ET and MPH since they were on the same tune as the previous year.

BTW - your prices are a bit off... Hercules had an entire K swap ready for his car for right around the price of an ITR swap... he just ended up selling it because of money issues.

Mounts are about half the price that you mentioned, even cheaper if you buy them used. Hercules found a set for ~300 the other day... and OEM Type S axles work just fine... and they're A LOT cheaper than 1000.

B Series is just old technology ... everyone knows that. The only weakpoint of the K is the tranny... same as with the H series ... and that's why alot of people are jumping on the H2B thing now that you don't have to use the cable linkage with an H swap.

Fitting things in? I helped with a kswap and it's NO harder than a bseries swap ... I had more fitment problems with my b series going back into my GSR than the K did going into darren's civic.

I'll agree with you that you can build a fast B for well under the price of a kswap car (if you buy everything brand new anyway), but like I said, a BOLT ON K swap makes as much power as a lot of built B series (not the hardcore ones, but most out there) and loads more torque... and you don't have to spin it to the moon to find the power.

I'm not trying to say one's better than the other ... but don't judge it unless you know exactly what you're talking about. I sure as hell don't have all the answers, but facts are facts.

Either way - i'd rather have a turbo b anyway

, i've just wanted to build a k car for years.
