i traded a type r motor with skunk2 cams and valvetrain for a complete k20a2 then to put it in my 2000 si i paid 1800.00 dollars then the motor was in and running
1. Why would anyone trade a B18C5 w/cams for a stock Type S swap? Not only is the Type S worth more in my opinion, its going to be way faster than any B series swap.

2. You paid $1800 and the engine was in and running.. did you get 90% of the parts free? It's just not possible to have the all the parts, and labor to have it installed and running.

Show proof.

k series swap for a em1 is a waste of money imo. unless like you bought it with no engine and need to drop one in anyways

We have put getting the dyno on hold for now, we're in the process of building a new faclity in the Baton Rouge area. Once we're in the new shop we are going to start getting everything in order and possibly move a dyno in.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, we are here to help with whatever we can.


As for the gentleman who has a K20, I wonder what he would've said if someone had actually asked a question. lol It would've been a shame for him to make up things... :roll:

Anyway, it goes to show you that making things up doesnt count.

Absolutely, we are working on 2 EM2 cars right now that are both getting K20/K24 swaps. You need to get a KPRO and a Type S head...then you'd be kickin like kung foo. =)
