I have a friend who is thinking about a new engine swap on his 92 EG shell. He has narrowed it down to two motors. The ITR and the RSX-S. He's not sure which one is better than the other, and neither am I. He asked me to help him out and get information because i once told him about how there was this forum(superhonda) that specifies in those subjects, and are extremely helpful. So, I am posting this thread to find out what you fellow members think of this question; ITR or RSX-S engine? If you've got an opinion, please post it. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Your fellow superhonda member
the K20a has more power, more torque, more displacement, and in my opinion more potential, also because more technology
the problem is, its a bitch to swap in, expensive for the motor, expensive and a bitch to tune all that technology. def possible but still can be a pain.
if your friend has the money for the k20 and the kits to swap it in to def go for it. better engine, def more pimp factor
8 - 10 G's?!?! is that canadian or united states dollars?? If u guyz had the cash, what would u guys go for? a stock K20a, or a build up B18C5? actually, i don't know if u can build the whole ITR with the same amount u would spend for the K20a. Don't ITR's run for like 3500 - 4500 us dollars for a full swap? snoopy, u said the other choice was a GS-R? wat would u guyz do?
$8-10k US dollars. thats just a rough estimate i came up with when adding the cost of everything needed to get the swap done. most of what i know deals with the b series. the k is a whole new family im still learning about. i'd stick with a b18c1 and build an all motor beast.
t-boned eh'??? :eek ouccccch.. organ donor.. ahhaha funny shiet'... anyways, u guyz stick to the gs-r eh'? a while back... i seen this vid of a modified (i think...) gs-r tegg against a EG hatch with stock K20a.. pretty impressive.. the EG smoked the modded gs-r.. my friend, this foo is loaded.. one of them rich stupid "blond" kids u know? i dunno if u guyz seen that video, its on SHO, its just something to think about... anywayss, i appreciate the input from u guyz.. thanks alot for that.
ohh shiet, i forgot to finish the part about my buddy, he.. just wants a fast car and something he can bragg about.. he makes his decisions and actions from what he has seen u know? like he seen the vid too and he thought that the K20a was crazZzy... if u guyz had cash, would u guyz not prefer the ITR? cuz thats what i told him...
yeah....a big factor of going in a straight line is the car itself....whereas going around corners is more driver skill. straight line stints are boring and too short. why do you think all the big name racing video games are w/ road courses...because drag racing is boring
