88_hatchy, im sorry but you must have one of those B series that my sis could drop in, not to mention how my post did not contradict it self unless you need to go back to school and learn to read. I did not say i hate twin cams, just b series because their to simple and boring.Have you put a k in a car yet and driven it? Thats fun! I fully build everything i do. Mabey we have a miss communication but for what he wants to do my advice was the best thing he could do if he wants some more horses, and fun while learning about his car. I dont post if i dont know what im doing, because as you know im an ASE master tech and been working on high performance Hondas for 10 plus years. DONT SLAM THREADS IF YOU HAVE DIFFERENT ADVICE OR ARE CONFUSED ABOUT SOMETHING. NEXT TIME KEEP IT POLITE.

You really don't know what you're getting yourself into, chief.

No worries. But let's discuss this...

Even if someone were to dump $8000 into a D series it might make 200 whp. A K swap is about the same amount, all said and done. Why not spend half the money and have a reliable and reasonably quick car with a B swap. Yes, tons of people have a B series in their EF. That's only because it is effective, both in cost and power levels.

P.S. My engine wasn't a drop-in ordeal.

i got a couple of questions. my wagon spits second gear out if i let off the gas. what you guys think it is? were do i check the tranny fluid at? and theres this grindin noise i hear durin third gear almost like constant rubbing of some sort but only during load or giving it gas. as soon as i let off it stops,(not my tires i cheked) i was told that the cv joints are shit and thats why it sound that way im hoping its not the tranny, so i wanted to get some more info from u guys. thanks for looking and trying to help
