If you intend or track the car : K swap is a no brainer

For fun in the street : the rush of the boost is better.

Turbo for right now. And get it done right. That way if, later on, you decide to do a B or K swap... YOU ALREADY HAVE A TURBO FOR THE SWAP!

i'd love to experience a k swap personally.

dave_yd · 01-02-2010, 11:42 AM

I have k20 JDM dc2 teg track car (which happens to be for sale), the k swap works fantastically in my car and has surprised cars a lot more powerful than mine on a trackday - k20 & box = perfect in the dc2 chassis

just to add ive had no reliability issues at all i drove my car, completed an open pit trackday then drove home. great fun!

maintenance, drivability, fear of cops, fear of thieves, fear of blowing up your engine, cost of the parts, cost of mainenance, fear of overheating in traffic, etc, etc, etc, one by one these little things add up and you end up with a car you just don't want to drive too often.

i prefair b series vtec to k series anyday and turbos are more fun and sound so much beta! plus if u have already build your head and stuff why not finish it of with forged bottom end?
but like said its up to you mate!

I'd say boost unless you use your car on a daily basis

NeilVtec · 02-09-2010, 03:42 PM

After Experiencing more than one, K-Swap all day long.

reliability, N/A, Fuel Consumption, ITB's and your Torquing seriouse figures with a good map,(see what i did there?) All those are plus point,

I wont list the negatives of turbos as they have already been said. But yeah, Turbos are alot of maintanance! Unless you run pretty damn low boost, and then its not worth doing!

Its the sensible option IMO, id never consider boost Ever since being in a K-powered EK.... They are unbelievable!

do the k swop,add a well branded exhaust,gruppeM,rbc inlet and kpro

if you get bored of that then supercharge it

dicxonjim · 02-12-2010, 05:14 PM

it will be cheaper for you to put that GSR that you already have on boost,,,now i can tell you my JDM GSR motor Made 307whp on 8lbs of boost ( completely Stock internals ) on 93 octane ..so its your call man ,,,
good luck
