yeah it does... What can you do? Thiefs now realized that K-series are worth more money than a B-series. I guess.. Im going to start to build a k24/a2 head N/A beast here in the summer

In a 7th gen civic expect to spend close to 8 grand for all parts and labor. Unless you are doing the swap yourself you can save about 1500 in labor.

I'm in the process of doing my k24a1/k20a2 head in my 2001 civic....

My total after it's all said and done is going to be right around $5800. Granted though, I got an awesome mechanic guy that's going to help me out.

 

[ImportRacer2123]

oh nice man.... I am going to be building my own k24 here in the Spring.

yeaa thats about right.. i spent boutt 9k to get a K20a in my EM2 (02 coupe).. but once its done ur gona love it..its been 2 years n i still love the bitch.. i also got the TODA N2 cams and their fun as hell.. put down 247 whp with head kit (cams n valve springs) and bolts ons.. so cant complain..

 

[Typlayinu]

just from personal experience, don't forget the sensors, the ones in the cat (Primary afr sensor and secondary O2), your car will respond very much quicker, trust me, i love my type-s swap in my 01 civic ex coupe. :dance:

 

[phil.stark]

Thought about running my kpro with the secondary o2 sensor disabled.

 

[ImportRacer2123]

thats what im doing as of right now. ^^^^^^

 

[r3dfir3]

thats what im doing as of right now. ^^^^^^

hey i got a em civic and got megan racin coils and nuespeed sway bar and front strut bar.. im tryin to decide on gettin the k20a2 or the k20a2R what would u recomend

 

[phil.stark]

it really depends on the deal you get...

I'm going with a k24a1, 6spd tranny, kpro, later i'm putting on a k20a2 head

Could go with a k20a if you can afford it, haven't seen that many awesome deals

Could go with a k20a2 setup

A k24a2 out of a tsx

I ran a lot of numbers and tried to make a budget out of the whole situation. From what I've seen so far, some people change direction with their project because they lose focus on what the original plan was. Different block, or different chassis, or different ......

I guess I would suggest my setup, I like knowing my low end torque monster with the headflow from a a2 cylinder head. Every setup has advantages and disadvantages.
