Just saw this over on a local forum.... thought I'd share and allow the rest of you to admire this 4th gen.
If this works, it also works in a 5th gen... then a 3rd gen K20 can happen.
It's worth noting that even in a 4g there is less ground clearance (vs a H/F). So a 3g might get a little exciting.then a 3rd gen K20 can happen.
you're right it wont.250whp with just bolt-ons is a bit excessive I think. They're fantastic motors and definitely better than H22s. But CAI + RH + RBC + Kpro isn't going to turn into 250whp.
Lol, you have no idea what the K20 is and or is capable of becoming. With bolt ons, the K20 can make well over 250whp. I have yet to see any H22 with bolt ons come close to that. The ability to have 100mmstroke and rev beyond 10k RPM is also amazing in the Honda realm. You're right though, with 8k you can get a 250whp NA H22..... and or be stuck with a K20A2 in a prelude with about 180whp....which can then have bolts ons for around 1800 dollars and match your 250whp
It's more then a 6speed swap.....
You have lots to learn.......
geezz that hurts..i guess its common for 5th gens to have k20s ..:roll:since when does how good a motor looks have a role in building a fast car?
250-300whp is definitely attainable with bolt-ons.
you should probably look around before you say other wise
as for the "this is my first time seeing a k20 in a 5th gen..." statement?
what rock have you been hiding under?
a k20 in a 3rd gen has been done, and based on the lean of the motor, won't work. change the hoodline and gain some clearance with the motor and you may be ok...
no one has straight info from the guy who did it though...
so it's been in a running 5th gen. 4th gen should be a no-brainer.
3rd gen is a pipe dream until proven otherwise
well, i have owned a 3rd gen longer than a 5th gen.. sorry for not having your free time to roam on all the forums dailycguru:i would think that anyone who pays attention to the 5th gen forum would know, wouldn't they?
it's been around for long enough...
no?
like i said, crawl out from under the rock you've been hiding under...
sheesh.

no one here said it would only take bolt ons to make 300hp.
250-300whp is definitely attainable with bolt-ons.
you should probably look around before you say other wise
Duh.its alot easier to build a 300hp all motor k20 than an h22.
What statements, exactly?when you show me an h22 that makes 220whp and 180lbs of tq like 70% of those cars with only mild mods then maybe i will consider some of your statements valid.
"far" might be taking things a little, (heh), far, but this is also a "Duh" moment.they are far superior motors.
And I don't think anybody's arguing that.and all im saying is k20s respond better to mods then any other honda motor i have seen...
