k20 swap into my ek.
it would be a tight budget, but possible.

i've seen k20a3's with tranny go for 2k
kpro 1k
mounts 600
install 1k??
tuning 1k?
misc 1.5k?

guessing you never heard of the mini me turbo setup??? great little setup... for cheap....

of course the other option depending on what civc you were buying.. would be a turbo zc again another little cheap setup.. that would be worth while...

Speaking of D's. There was a thread on Clubcivic not too long ago, where a guy built his own D16 (i think it was y8), fully from the ground up. I THINK he was getting close to B16 power from it. It was a high compression NA D16 build. Im sure if he went low compression, he could've also went booted and pushed out over 250 easy.

Best? Sure if you want a great winter beater.

I'll take my Si any day thanks.

A mint EG or EK hatch with a K20 would be a sweet little weekend car though.

I still wouldn't dump that kind of cash into a 10 year old car. I'd buy something else that already had some decent potential in stock form without putting $6k into it.

l.d.forget

most k20's only have 160hp at the crank...if you get a RSX type S one you have 210hp.. for that cost you can have a k20 eg for 6 grand..or you can have a built, tuned, turbo'd h22/b18/b20/b16 pushing a LOT more hp.. Unless you have ridiculous funds there is no point in getting the K for Hp:$ Ratio.

ACTION JACTION

B16 Turbo, Straight LS Turbo, or D series turbo. In this order depending on how much money is left from the 6g.

i personally think looks wise the civic lost its "soul" after the 6th gen. anything after looks too tacky for my liking. and id have mto disagree with buying a newer one anways. you can get a decent shell for an eg for around 6-800 bucks, get the body work done and all mint, paint it, swap in a nice b series with low km's on it, build the engine, boost it, upgrade all the suspesion, and re-do the interior to power everything.... and still have spent less on that car than on a new civic like yours. not to mention the "10 year old car" would have just as good of a body as yours, be a lot faster, look a lot nicer, get more respect, and still be a lot cheaper... new cars are a waste of money IMO
