good kill bro, glad you won. It feels like **** to lose to a honda. I ran a civic k24 swap on a shot and lost. He was guted I lost by a 1.5 or 2 dont remeber I was to sad that I lost to honda. He ran me without the shot I won by 2.5 cars. He said he put down 250 fwhp n/a and 350 fwhp on the shot.
he was a cool guy for being a ricer. Gave him his props with a thumbs up and went my way holding my head in shame.

Not to mention how suspect it is when a K20a2 with trans goes for 2 grand on craigslist, all the time. Everyone knows what the story is lol
Owning a known K20 powered car is like a dream....you wake up and its gone.

I did my swap with hmotorsonline but they dont have a kit to put a k series in the older bodies. Hybridracing carries a swap kit but its pretty pricey. Its easier/cheaper to just boost a b series to be honest.

If I had known that I would have sold some Honda guy my J32a1 from my 1999 Acura TL.
*edit* - Never mind, I would have been ripped off I did that because I remember selling the car whole for 5k. Now way in hell would the motor be worth anywhere near that.

Who the hell would want a transverse V6 in a Civic (or any other car, for that matter...)???
That would ruin the handling (too much weight too far forward), and be terrible to work on.
Turbo a 4-cylinder if you want power.

I think it's more just to say you have a J swap in your car. From what I'm seeing around guys with these swaps are only in the mid-high 12's which is easily done with a k20 and some bold ons + kpro tune. Or like you said, just boost any other motor. With how played out everything is in the Honda community people are always looking for something new. I think it's kind of cool though. Really no different than guys cramming small blocks in Vegas and Gremlins back in the day.
