not really, but only when compared to "stockish" b-series swaps. a heavily modded b will definatly make more power then a fully build d.

www.turbod16.com

^lurk around these two websites, pretty much all the things you can do to a d-series is covered in this forum.

Re: need swap advice

You could piece together a bseries setup in a couple months just on the classifieds here. I'd say if you want to "compete with tuners" and have no money you are fuct.

I'd say if you do it, B18 vtec at least but you'd still get killed by most the shit around. Base hp for cars nowadays is insane IMO.

K20 swaps are really expensive. The the motor itself cost about $4000. Mounts,axles,ECU, Harness, etc... cost about $2000. And labor, that all depends on who installs the motor.

Re: need swap advice

Taking out a loan on a swap doesn't sound like too hot of an idea. If you have to take out a loan, get a new car that performs as you'd like it to.

If this is your DD and it runs good, leave it the hell alone. Get a beater car to mess around with...
