hybridg2I, I have to agree with SupersonicG2’s post entirely. I have fabricated my own frames, turbo manifolds, and suspension pieces for various cars over the years. I’m the biggest fan of KISS you’ll ever meet - Keep It Simple, Stupid. Throwing fistfuls of money at swapping a K-series into a 7G was for fabricational bragging rights, and is not a performance swap. Madrid gets props for having balls and talent, but that 7G is nothing impressive to drive. $7K for an engine… man. I wish I had pockets that deep. $650 for a used B18B when I pop this one maybe. ---

You know, things can be done, but the K20 does not have that much higher hp output than the B18C5, and the cost to rig that motor into the G2 would be ridiculous. I breifly read a lot of this thread, and I must say it was a complete waste of my time. It’s locked for reasons of the content being insane or stupid, you decide which.
