RE: swap help
 

money really isn't a concern... i just want the most powerful most reliable engine i can fit into my car

RE: swap help
 

im not really sure to be honest sorry i cant really help u!!

Any honda engine is reliable and if money is not important than go with the k20 the one in the acura type r. That has like 220 hp stock I believe. However the install is expensive and new territory. Another good option is the b18c5. It is the gsr motor and runs hard but not great for boost. A ls/vtec b18 with b16 head would also get the job done, and well a straight b16a2. All of these are good options.

RE: swap help
 

no b18c1 is the gsr.

if money isnt a concern then get your hands on a K20A. 220 hp stock with lots more potential

RE: swap help
 

alright, so i can get my hands on a k20a, anyone know places near philly that can do the swap for me or tell me how to do it?

RE: swap help
 

You won't be able to do it yourself and you are going to need about well lets just say a lot set aside for the install. it is not impossible but it is new territory. Luckily the 7th gens are one of the easiest but still it is new and not very many people do it.
