What the heck you swapped the motor? Did it blow?

Heart Transplant underway.

Time to see what all this K Series Hoopla is all about.

It boggles my mind that people think the K series is a better engine than the F20/F22C. I just. don't. get it.

Mod for mod the K series just offers so much more potential in NA form. Additionally the K series has i-VTEC which allows a variable intake/exhaust valve overlap.

This configurability allows the engine to respond to modification much better. To greatly simplify it, it allows the engine to make both high top end power and low end torque by varying the amount of valve overlap based on RPM & Load.

We'll see how she compares to my old setup on the same dyno.

What kind of power are you expecting or hoping for out of the K?

Can you go to 9K safely on the K series with mild valve train changes?
