Want to ask, how much cash have you got to spend on the swap? cause obviously the K is an expensive one.

If you can manage the cost of the swap for the K + have enough money to support a healthy social and normal life than go for that as the engine is brilliant, it includes a lot of work, but when done right you are shown the respect of others alike and it's damn cool to pop the hood expecting a B series to be in there and then you see the K.

Also the K has a brilliant drive, my friend has recently done one and man it pulls compared to his EK9. so up to you :D

if you havent got the cash, then do you intend to keep the engine N/A or boosted?

i completely agree with the person above. it's all up to you and your wallet. the whole concept behind modifying is self expression.

We get this question every single day. Nothing about the application... daily driver, weekend racer... are you sharing it with your gramma, your girlfriend? What are the smog laws where you live? Are you in CA? What's your budget? What's your experience as far as what cars have you owned, what do your buddies own? What car spanked you at the stop light?

Put your options up on a dart board and have at it. Or search the billions of threads before this one.

Someone should write a FAQ. Then again, no one would read it before they post.
