Yo Silchuki14 im actually looking for a k series right now could you give me a little incite on how much shit is gonna have to be modified on my da9. or if you got a write up or someone on another forum has one could you let me know.
edit: emerson6748@gmail.com
I’ve driven a K24/k20 DC before on a daily basis for a couple years about and it was real fun. Never in a DA before. But both motors are fun. 
I loved it in the DC and I love my B motor in the DA. No need to hate peoples. People are getting mean on these forums! Yikes…
Not being mean… just stating opinions… if people get butt hurt over it, then dont post anything up you know?
Sometimes being a purist clouds peoples judgments. :shrug:
Hahhahahahaha. I’m definitely not butt hurt, just no point in even to argue when you have nothing to bring to the table, I’ve got better shit to do. Out of everything I’ve posted in response to Knowledge and you, your only rebuttal is that it costs too much. People put the same if not more money to get that kind of power out of a B, so I’m not really sure where you’re getting that claim. Hmmm, here’s an ITR swap for just less than what Silchuki14 has into his A3 swap, and he’ll have more torque (that equals faster right.). PLUS you have to get mounts (18year old pieces won’t cut it), Hondata/Neptune/ECtune (if you care to do it right…), a header, exhaust, AND a tune. Hmmm, looks to me like the cost is up there with a K already.

K20a.org is the place to check out. Look at the EF build threads to get an idea of what’s needed, a DA will be pretty much the same
I’ve never put that amount of money in any of my b-series motors…
Silchuki14:only the swap: around 5-6K.
For the amount that he spent on just the swap (would help if he listed what was included):
-500 B20 block
-200 GSR head
-450 Cams + Cam Gears
-300 Short Geared trans
-300 New Clutch + Flywheel
-150 chipped ecu
-Free Tuning (friend tune it)
Total: 1900… who in their right mind would pay upwards of 4K for an ITR swap?
PLUS:
-800 for Recaro Seats
-600 for Koni/GC set up
-2000 full body work
I practically have a new car for the same price as his swap…
I could’ve picked up a complete rsx-s swap for 2500, but then I’ll have to think about the mounts, shifter box, and the other pieces to get it to work. I’ve thought about doing the K-swap myself… but cant justify enough means to do it.
We can go back and fourth about this all day, but whats the point? I’ll let you KDA guys have fun with your engine builds and be “special.” I’ll stick with what works.

People who want a swap from a reliable/reputable source will pay that much.
You’re right we can go back and fourth, that’s one thing I’ll agree on. But fact of the matter is the point you keep bringing is full of holes, and still don’t address everything I’ve brought up (that build you posted is super hack, and you can’t even use it to try and argue pricing. I’ll just leave it at that.). I will have fun being “special” as you so eloquently put it, but that’s not the goal here. Why would you say that it doesn’t work though? It’s been proven as a powerhouse in other chassis, why can’t it be one in the DA? Just because two or three people have only done it and you have no results to base your claims off of?
I agree on that part that people will want to go through a reliable source…
Also agreed on that its a proven power house motor:)
My build is by no means hacked. I’m utilizing all OEM parts to work with my build. I’m all for what you’re doing and would love to see the outcome of it… after seeing the original first K20 DA… i wasnt too impressed at all… but maybe this time, you’ll convince me?
Like I said… it wasnt meant to bash you specifically… ill let you guys keep on updating the thread and will be checking results…
…
Anyways, people will always have differents opinions regarding K-Serie in our chassis. Everyone will always have something to argue.
Let’s just try to keep the thread as a informative one and not a thread that will be locked cause it’ll end as a war.
I’ll try to make a complete list of what I needed with price sometime this week.
thanks i signed up for it a day prior to me posting so i didnt get much time to surf it thanks.

Yea man, I’m glad we can come to a consensus without getting nasty
I guess I should have reworded my response a little different, instead of hacked. I’m all about using the OEM parts too :rockon:
But I will be getting pretty in depth with my build, I’m sure you’ll like it when I’m done. I know you like OEM lip kits

Nah, it looks like we’re on the right track now man.
Is paint all you have left for your car?
Yea man, you’ll be reading for days on that site, a great resource for sure
Paint, Exhaust, Compensator Arm, Alignement and pretty much details.
Checking in for some updates… There are none

I’m sure I’ve forgot a lot of thing. Hope that help
do you have to use the 5 speed tranny? or can you go six
A KDB1 would be wicked.
No, you can use both the 5 and 6spd. However, I’ve heard that the 6spd was weaker than the 5spd if you’re going to have a lot of power. (ex: Turbo)
and if youve got a huge powerband, i can only assume that a shorter geared transmission isnt exactly going to help, having to shift that extra time is a quarter second more down the strip…
Hey guys im completing a K20A(JDM ITR) swap in a 92 at the moment.
If you guys have any questions at all regarding the swap il be more than happy to answer.
Hey silchuki whats up? Im the motor mount guy from K20.
