for the money- swap is the best bang for the buck. But do you really wanna swap motors in a nearly new car?

dont do boost if you're really willing to swap... you're talking bout like 120whp vs. like 190whp or whatever K20s throw down PLUS more torque, i-Vtec, and a 6 speed gearbox

T1R tubro kit is what about $4k?

you could piece together a K swap for that much.

K20a3 block with 5speed trans.

its faster than the L15 and has a good amount of HP and you dont have to use premium gas

think of it as the big brother

the difference is ,you can take the turbo kit off and still have the stock motor in the car for resale purposes. Once you swap in a different motor, your market for reselling the car becomes tiny.
