Default j32 swaps

I heard a lot about these swaps... Anyone know the cost to put them in an EK and are they worth it? And are they easier than a K swap or just as much work? Thanks

Have not seen one in an EK yet. I think they are better than than the K myself. THe K is not really any more work than any other swap, but it is WAY more money.

Well what about money? You know how much it will cost to put the J in a car?

Add it up. J32
4000 driveline mounted
+ 1500 make it run.
______
5500= The price of a K20 Type R with tranny sitting on dock,alone, waiting to be picked up, combined with everything required to complete the driveline AND make it run.
I would say another 4K to get the k20 in and running/tuned.

Obviously you can do it a little cheaper with good resources, but even still that is 4 k more. For less than the difference I still can buy an already swapped EF, boost 10psi not deal with higher priced parts across the board and make the same power. However, any mod to either the J or K (psi in some way/ Nitrous) and you then crossed stock internal capacity of the B series...I know there are exceptions). Of course everyone on HT would love a K20R or J32 swapped or even OE vehicle, but.....

So i guess a lot of the money spent is the misc. parts to get it in the car , like the mounts and etc?

I'm doing a J32 Integra swap and it will be pretty cheap for me to do it. I got my engine and 6 spd trans from an '05 TL for $700 CDN. A steal, I know.

Mounts and axles from HASport were $800 CDN with shipping. I need some misc parts so I'm budgeting $600-$700 for those and I can do all the wiring myself. For the power I'll make, I'd do this over a K any day.

Not to mention everyone and their mother wants to do a K swap. The J might be a new horse in the stable, but it has a tonne of potential.

My build will be cheap because I'm resourceful, and I can do all the work in my own garage with my own tools. If you don't have the necessary skills, it will be very expensive.

You can use the EG mounts if you weld in a drivers side mount from an EG. A guy on J32a.com has done it with ease and I'm sure he'll answer any questions you have. Check it out.

visit j32a.com. There's tons of info on there. I am currently running a '03 TL-S swap in my teg. I loovveeee it. Torque is amazing and i get to beat the crap out of it since its a stock motor I'd say it totalled out to about 4k to do the swap. Also a company is about to release prototype mounts that when you use a newer style intake manifold the hood WILL close without cutting

I wonder what the ground clearance will be if they lower the motor enough to close the hood.

O ok , so is the wiring similiar to the K or is it easier? And what kinda 1/4 times do you think you will have? Ive seen a few on youtube run real good and others run high 13's i know that is still good but the ones i seen run better i could have swore they were running 12's.
