i planned and saved for mine for a year. drove a hela long way to buy a smashed up 04 rsx with 30k miles. and it took me 3 days to put it in my car , lol. dash conversion and all. was well worth the wait.

PS. dont worry the wing is long gone , haha.

 

Took me a while as well, maybe 1.5 years to get my first K swap going

 

Had money sitting around after i crashed my first car, so it was between building a older prelude and throwing in a jdm h22 and building it later, or buying a k20aR motor and redoing my beater EG hatchback paint job and all, already went down the Prelude Route, as that was the car i crashed. So i decided to try something new with the k20R motor in a EG hatch. And thats how it all started.

 

Took me 3 months once i decided i was going to do.. a month and a half was wating on the front clip to get here from japan LOL

 

i bought my engine in sept of 2006 motor still isnt in the car because its being fully built . but if I would have just got it and thrown it in as i bought it i would have been done in about 3 months due to funding. The more funding you have available the faster the swap will go. Also the more of a complete swap you start with the faster it will go.

 

I think I'm on my third year but everything's going to be finished soon.

 

ok this is cool because ive been into honda for almost 10 years now and had a b16 swap in my past honda im just waiting for my life to settle i need to move back to my home state connecticut ..pay off my big cc bill ..and my 05 scion ...then ill have free'd up money to do as i please i cant wait i wish i could fast forward a year but then i think to myself the movie click NEVERMIND

 

about a good 3 years? haha

 

I had a deal fall through on a b18c and said screw it and bought a k. That was in Dec 2005. Spent 18 months collecting bits/pieces/etc. Started swap in about May 2007. Took my time and had the car running in July. Its now Feb 2008, and I'm still working on it, but I'm being a bit of a perfectionist as its turned into a hobby

 

damn i had the same situation i had a bad deal go through on a gsr and then i decided either build a bad bseries or get into the k game. im in iraq so im still waiting to get home but once i get home it will be about 1 yr. if i wasnt here it would have taken longer based on money issues.

 

I haven't even started my swap yet. I wanted to do an ek k swap about 3 years ago but I didn't have the money.(Tools and school payments :down Then my pos car blew up and I was forced (Thank God) to get my CRX. Now I'm collecting pieces and kind of on a roll now. I just went to dc and racked up my cards but ill be caught up in a month or so and then its on again... I've got a k24a4 and a k20z3 motor and trans and some other random parts

 

Mine wasn't too long...I decided to do it in October of 2005 and was done by February of 2006 so about 4 months. Most of the time was waiting for parts.:up:

 

I've been thinking about a k swap since late 05... I've been collecting parts since june 07... its finally gonna start going down soon

 

it was around 6 months of research and buying parts and manuals then waiting for parts to complete the swap.

 

took me a year to save up for it then 2 months to put it in

 

started build in Jan 2007 until now all i have done is a built longblock, still need drivetrain, turbo kit, and everything else to drop it in

 

I drove my buddy's car (HondaFreak) with a k24a2 and the same day, I ordered a K24a2 long block from HMO.

Took me a while to find a trany and all the other parts but it was well worth it. That motor ended up in my wife's car after all. LOL

 

took me about 2 years in all to get my swap going. I started collecting parts. I didn't have any experience with any other fast cars before not even bseries. I went straight from d to a k20a. Definitely a HUGE difference!

 

took me 1 year to finally get everything together and swapped in...and another half year cause i ran into other problems...to me ...well worth it...strong motor and reliability of a stock car...

 

I am on my second year of collecting parts and building my engine. I am still a little over a year away from actually dropping the engine in ...

its has taking me over a 1 year and still not done..

 

6 months from the date of inception....... was gonna fully build my gsr and then i started doin my homework not that a b isn't a good motor but for the price it would have cost me to build the b with all the parts i wanted it was litterally like within 1500 of a kswap so i said **** it and went k worth it but as its my daily now i can't make it visually appealing due to thievery around here but its kinda cool as a sleeper i get alot of surprised looks from mustang owners that think they can walk on me with just exhaust thats what makes me smile

 

i made the decsion and started buying parts back in about june/july 2005, and i had it running in october 2005. i already had half the parts for a full b series build and sold it all in favor of getting a k20

 

started collecting parts in February 2007 and started it up December 26, 2007. Took me a while but i saved a TON of money and got all the parts i wanted at the price i wanted.

 

i have used 1 + years to swap
the problem was the item are very hard to get n have to waiting for month n month for the mount/header/harness/hondata/karcepts shifter

the problem was have to order and some 1 willing to shipped to oversea/international (malaysia)

i have try get fool by some seller after pay the money and get nothings

engine and tranny was simply can get all around here

 

i sold my truck because my friend wanted me to build a car. options were b20-turbo, h22, or kswap. i asked wut the kswap was ? and he said lets just do it. so ya. about 4 months later, from a stripped frame to a jdm front dc2 with a k20a2 in it. it was hard finding parts back in 2005, none were in stock or accessible and the price was pretty high at the time. good times i must say, still loving every minute of it. :heart: :up:
