my friend has an 07 civic SI with 42k and the motor blew up. bad rod knock. has a k20. anyone have a good recourse for getting a new motor?

look into a jdm importer.. i know the kseries motors are bread and butter right now.

orl look into the k24 hybrid make torque and powa...

tried to talk him into a k24 found him a bottom end for 300. but he wont do it

u cant spin the k24 as high but it makes up for it all over the pwoerband. u can get 250/300 na with a hybrid very easy..
why dont they want to go k24?

only other real option is a integra typer k20 which is hella pricey.

unfortunately the k20 still holds value in parts their are a bunch out their but most dont want to part with them

[BigdaddyDupree]

about the best price he has found so far is 5k

if its rod knock why not just go with a build or oem freshed up build?

yea that actually sound about right for a full motor.. but for 5k he could have a built motor head and cams ect ect.. well a very stout na k20

ill keep my ears open but most of the guys i know still run b series because the k is just to much money still
