Ok so I have a friend who owns a Honda shop. He has 3 k series engines laying around. Last night I asked him how much he would sell me one for and he said $300. I was just asking for ****s and grins but it really got my gears going. Right now my plan for the Celica is a Beams. The Beams would cost me some 3k to do properly but if I can swap in a k series and get it running for under 3k, I think It might be a fun project. What do you guys think?
Right now I know the axles, motor mounts, and the whole inverted intake/exhaust manifolds will be an issue. what else should I think about? |

Harness and kpro (Most who do the swap want to tune to get the most reliable power out of it and kpro isn't cheap nor is a tune for it), trans mounts. If it's not a k20a2 (or jdm equivalent) or k24 i wouldn't waste my time the k20a3 isn't impressive at all, you'd be looking at more than 3k unless you can do the fab work yourself the kpro isn't cheap and a tune around here is around for kpro $500+.
I would scrap the idea unless you've got money to burn. This post has been edited by Takumi-FujiWaraST: Jun 17, 2012 - 1:35 PM --------------------  Cleaning and improving my new found yoter little by little. |
