10 Aug Civic EG Budget K Series Swap Part 2

Civic EG Budget K Series Swap totals are in, did we make the $3,000 budget?

By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen

We’re back at it again with our Projectcarpalooza Budget K (Part 1 here if you’ve missed it.) and we’re doing our best to do it for the typical cost of a VTEC B series swap. Luckily for us Brian has done a TON of Ks into 4th, 5th and 6th generation Civics and he knows how AND when to go with money saving options without compromising on performance or reliability.

The cost to do a K swap on a Honda has come down considerably in the last couple years. It used to require a lot of cash or room on your credit cards to pull off properly. Planning is key to doing any engine swap on a budget.

In this installment of our Project Budget K we finish up the swap and total up the prices for everything. Also, Brian takes it for a little test drive and throws down a challenge to Aaron and our Project 1992 Civic.

Nothing but Hondas. That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy. Not because some of the other automakers’ cars that inherently drain the life out of the driving experience bore us, but because Soichiro Honda’s passion for motorsports and his company’s ability to express that in the machines they produce make a whole lot of sense.

VTEC Academy is a place for Honda fans who feel the same way and who seek the most accurate technical information and commentary to continue that very legacy and make whatever Honda it is that they drive just a little bit better. And faster.

The editors and contributors of VTEC Academy are some of the industry’s most experienced and trusted, which means the informative, unique perspectives you need are all right here. And, like you, we’re also obsessed with Hondas.
