Civic EG Budget K Series project asks, “Is a K swap really that much more expensive than a B swap?”
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
We’ve all been there, looking at what we want for our project car and then looking at what we can afford for our project car. It’s a (budget) balancing act for most of us. Get the super baller JDM wheels brand new or maybe the used ones off of a previous owner or wheel reseller? Buy the sick name brand turbo kit or go the homemade route? When it comes to engine options the newer K series swaps always seemed to be so much more expensive than the tried and true B series. But, we love a challenge. So, Brian set out to complete a Civic EG Budget K Series Swap at a B series price. Is it possible? We breakdown the game plan in Part 1 of our Projectcarpalooza Civic EG Budget build.
