looking to purchase one asap, wanting to do engine swap. Looking for something reliable and powerful. Will be a daily driver but lookin to race it on the street/track.

Was refered to try a k20 by a local shop of mine. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

A k20 swap is gonna cost you alot. If you have the money go for it. If it was me I would swap a b16 in there. There is a turboed b16 coupe in town that ran an 11.7. Its a pretty good motor.

 

unfortunately, any other b-series (or h-, f-, or k-series) with the same modifications would be faster. I don't mean to offend, but b16's are possibly the most overrated engine to swap to (though still better than a d-series).

Anyway, k20's are amazing, but expensive. If you want a cheaper engine, look into h22's. They're about the cost of a b16 and have 200hp at the crank and something along the lines of 160 ft/lbs of torque stock. And trust me, if you research them, probably close to 98% of the negative things you hear about them are false.

 

Thanks For The Input, I Got A Lot Of Money Saved Up So Depending On The Price Of The Car Will Determine The Motor.

I'll Will Look Into The H22's.

Keep The Input Coming.

 

Ya if you can do a K20 (make sure its a K20A OR K20A2 and not a K20A3) that is your best bet, comes with a 6-speed tranny. With enough mods any engine can beat any other engine, a turbo D can beat a K20 or H22. The B16 is a great little engine and it is a nice engine to turbo. I think the best honda engine other then the K20 is the GSR or B18C1 engine. Has a nice 1.8 litres to play with that gives you your torque and it is a DOHC VTEC that revs high and swaps easy- thats just IMO

 

if u gonna use it as a daily driven car also then i wouldnt go H22, it'll be a better start if u start off wid B18c1 or a B16a. good luck
