Hey Guys, Heres A Question For Ya!
If U Had Around $6k What Motor Would U Buy For Ur Stock Ej6????

1. GSR
2. TYPE R
3. B20
4. B16A TURBO
5. K20R

TAX RETURN IS AROUND THE CORNER AND JASON WANTS SOME VTEC BABY HELP ME OUT...
 
#5. But just go for the k20a2. Then save up for the rest of the swap.
 
it all depends on if you want NA or turbo, the turbo b16 will be fastest and cheapest, but some people prefer NA, i personally just want to go fast i dont care what it takes. btw jason my friend in calli is selling his turbo kit :D
 
oh really .... what brand is the turbo and how much??? one more thing what is the right code for the b16 that comes in the stock 99-00 civic si.. is it b16a or b16a2 and i need a link to check out the motor if anyones got one.

With 6k$ you can buy a k20 motor in the USA?

Yes, some people pick up k20a2's for $3000, some get them for more towards $6000. Not to mention those who buy k24 big blocks and mate them to the k20a2 head, for the same price.

Thats only half the battle though, all the other stuff you need to finish the swap (mounts, harness, k-pro, axles, shifter box, ect) is going to cost, so a full running swap will be around $10,000.

I'll add the fact that the k20a2 (rsx type-s motor) is to the JDM k20a what the integra gsr's b18c1 is to the type-r's b18c5. K20a2 is cheaper, but it has no lsd and its not as highly built from the factory. If you plan to build the motor anyway its the better option.

The 99-00 Si has a b16a2. For a swap look locally or hmotors.com. Great place to buy your motor.

someone correct me if Im wrong but jdm motors has no number after the letter like. b16a,b18c,k20a, ect ect. and the usdm motors has numbers after them. I know the Usdm Si motor is B16a2 and my gsr motor in my old ej6 was b18c1. Hope that help you finding info on the motor. japanesetiger.com, passwordjdm.com, and EBAY! lol
