K20A4? that is not sold in the US(and the exsistance of it seems to be debatable). and more power and torque? unlikely. Most k20s/24s make like 160hp.

worth the time and heart ache and money over a H22 swap? no.

I can only imagine the wiring nightmare it would be to swap in a k series. Not even including the drive by wire system.

The only way it would ever be worth it is if your planning on building a pro drag car that is going to make 400+hp and run sub 10 second 1/4s.

More worthwhile to build and boost the F22.

K series is a 7th gen i4 right? Wouldn't it be better to get actually get a 7th gen then try to swap it?

Not if you love your 6th gen . Yes, the K-series are found in Accords, Civics and the Acura RSX and TSX?

it is an amazing engine, I have seen N/A ones make 350whp, and turbo ones make 700hp. Also seen them swapped into Lotus Elises.

however cost per hp its not worth it.

^ Agreed. The Lotus k-swap is THE swap these days. people, go to youtube and find the videos of lotus' with the honda engine. OH MY GOD!

Last time i read in Super Street (abt a year ago) tuners still had not found the point in which the engine would stop making power.
