Honda K-Series Engine Swaps - Upgrade to More Horsepower & Advanced Technology

The Honda K-Series engine was introduced in 2001, replacing the B-Series as the engine of choice for Honda enthusiasts. These new K-Series engines are the most powerful stock Honda / Acura engines you can get.
They featured new technology such as a roller rocker valvetrain, better flowing heads, and advanced variable cam timing technology that made these engines suddenly the thing to have. And that's where the engine swappers come in.

In this book, author Aaron Bonk guides you all the details, facts, and figures you will need to complete a successful K-Series swap into your older chassis. All the different engine variants are covered, as well as interchangeability, compatibility, which accessories work, wiring and controls operation, drivetrain considerations, and more.

While you can still modify your existing B-Series, dollar for dollar, you can't make more power than you can with a Honda K-Series engine.
If you have an older chassis and are looking for a serious injection of power and technology, swapping a K-Series engine is a great option. "Honda K-Series Engine Swaps" will tell you everything you need to know.

Honda Engine Swaps

When it comes to their personal transportation, today's youth embrace what has become known as the sport compact - smaller, lightweight, modern sports cars of predominantly Japanese manufacture. These cars respond well to performance modifications due to their light weight and technology-laden, high-revving engines. And by far, the most sought-after and modified cars are the Hondas and Acuras of the mid-'80s to present.

An extremely popular method of improving vehicle performance is a process known as engine swapping. Engine swapping consists of removing a more powerful engine from a better-equipped or more modern vehicle and installing it into your own. It is one of the most efficient and affordable methods of improving your vehicle's performance.

This book covers in detail all the most popular performance swaps for Honda Civic, Accord, and Prelude as well as the Acura Integra.
