You might be able to find someone who will trade just a K series for your car. A clean properly done K swapped car is going to pull like 8k. I see them all the time on Honda-tech, you should be searching there.

if you already have a eg with a gsr swap, why dont you swap it in yourself. it would be easy of eg/dc. let me know if you want to work out a trade for the gsr swap. i have a k20a3 off a 04 si. say put up another 3k for mounts harness and and shifter parts and you’ll have yourself a running k.

you are correct

look on [www.k20a.org](http://www.k20a.org) and every once in awhile you will see a full swap go for 4500-6000
