I would love to swap but Im really **** about the mileage thing. [:@]

 

i think i am gonna try and build the 8 valve never herd of anybody doing that yeah i wont get that much out of it but anything is better than i got right now, and its best to have an original. and when i am in collage will build like a b18 motor or a b16 motor something like that and mess around with engines but for now that is my goal to build the famous 8 valve and tell al my friends who have stock 16valves to shut up because they just got beat by an 8 valve muahahahahahahhaah i will up date after everypart that i put on and how much it improved on the dyno.

 

the gsr swap is much cheaper than the type r swap and its much easier to adapt a turbo to

 

Ah, a common misunderstanding. It's not that it's EASIER to put a turbo on a GSR motor; it's that you can safely run higher boost on stock internals due to the lower CR. In the end, with some other bolt on mods, this generally results in a greater power gain over a C5 running lower boost.

 

If you have plenty of cash for the swap, id go for a k20 swap. Check out the video of the k20 swapped hatch here. http://www.hybrid-racing.com/gallery.html

 

Yeah, but a K-series swap is a BIZZNATCH unless you've got a late 6th or 7th gen...

 

Oh, god yes. Its not terribly simple in my car. Nowhere near as easy as some other swaps. The engine isnt cheap either, about at much as 2 B18C1s. But anyone who undertakes a K20 swap, my hat goes off to.

 

If you've got that much cash, do a C5 swap, then build the ***** out of it, or a GSR swap with a turbo kit and a light build.

 

ha ha... i know, i was just tryin to save space and words lol

 

No prob.
