As Tim for his parts and build a Frank K20/24 motor. Way less work and you get to use Kpro. Flashpro can't touch that.

Or go Jackson Racing S/C

I have a better idea. Hunt down the fuckers that are storing the HSV-010GT and steal the V8 from that. Then you'll have a man's swap. 

No.

You would need and upgrade in mounts also and maybe sub-frame and/or bushings. I know some are the same across, but some suspension components are J specific for the added weight. Have you looked at the cost of FI with re-sleeving your current block?

Bushings, sub frame and aftermarket suspensions transfer over. The mounts are factored into that $1k buffer on top of the cost of the engine and other things from LKQ. Re-sleeving my current block leaves me with no vehicle for awhile. I can't afford that. Going FI also costs a lot more than a J swap. If I were to get a "kit" (I hate that word) and modify it to work, I'm already looking at $4k not including engine management. Sure, I could piece it all together with good parts but the turbo would have to get rebuilt regardless of what the previous seller says if I were to go the used route. A new turbo goes anywhere from $1k to $2k depending on the turbo I select. That also goes into the realm of not being OEM reliable.

Just sell you car and buy mine. Settled.

No. Your shit is cursed.

Your wife wont let you buy tires but will let you spend more money on this swap? I'm just saying.

I hadn't thought of the curse.

A wrecked 6 speed TL is hard to find out here so that's difficult to say. LKQ has the J30 engine for about $500. Not sure if that's including accessories. Transmission is another $500. ECU out of an 05 6 spd Accord is about $300. The engine harness I'm assuming is about $300 but I haven't gotten a definitive answer on that. Other odds and ends being a timing belt, compression and leakdown, new clutch and single mass flywheel, shifter box, etc is maybe another $1k for the miscellaneous shit and I'm shooting a bit high. All labor done by me at school. A k24a2 from LKQ is roughly $1200. Transmission is approximately $800 (LKQ has none available as of this post). ECU about $200 plus all the other jazz I mentioned previously.

J30a4 swap=$2600ish
K24a2 swap=$3500ish

Drive to Paul leave car. Pay money, pick up car the end?

Reasoning won that. The winters are on there right now. This swap isn't going to happen for awhile and she knows I'm chomping at the bit to do something big.

It is and I won't.

Take the cost of the parts and triple it. No thank you. I'm perfectly capable of taking it on myself and have the means to do it. If I were doing the bigger mods he's known for, definitely.

It's not cursed!!! I'm offended that you say that.  I actually haven't started my car in like three weeks. I should start that bad boy up. It needs a wash. Maybe Saturday.

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

3 weeks!!! D:

How many times have taxis hit it? And not in the same spot either. Cursed.

[gargantula99]

Yeah, well your car has gremlins.

[CrackerTeg]

One gremlin and it was caused by your stupid city.

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

I think your car senses that you wish to replace it, so it's not caring as much about it's well being. You made it depressed! It's hurting itself!

[CrackerTeg]

Nelson's?

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

Yes.
