ive never seen a fwd car with a shaker hood

I say if you have $7K to work with find an EG shell on the cheap, pick up an LS, build it and boost the shit out of it, it will walk all over a K and be cheaper. My $0.02

Each to his own opinion...asking which is better is like asking if we like cats or dogs more. Same shit, different colours. K is easier to tune with the proper cash, if you want an H to go fast you need to resleave it just to start

In the searching in other forums and on google before I decded to post here that Ks have more aftermarket parts that come out for them are more popular and easier to swap just was confused as to which was better since it went both ways EVERYWHERE I looked but I guess like you said, cats and dogs really Thx alot to everyone who decided to help minus the emotional asshole who took a shotgun to my little rep lol hope he fells better LOL
no problem... and that wasnt necessary on his part... i'll be sure to return the rep favor for you

Everytime I hear someone say something like this, it makes me laugh. There are tons of STOCK cars that have turbos, so the issue obviously the turbo, the issue is inexperience.
Build it right build it once.

I'm not really sure how valid this example is. Yes, it's true that there are plenty of factory tubo-charged engines, but, they were designed with turbo in mind from the factory. Honda motors are not, so it's not exactly the same thing.
I would just stress quality tuning if you want a reliable turbo Honda...

big motors should get a big exhaust
The more I see the V6 swap, the more I dig it...
WERD... Throw a newer 3.5 in there and with some bolt-ons expect 260+whp. The torque curve on the J series is flat as hell, and they just plain sound amazing. There are dozens of these sitting on pallets at work. I'm so temped to swipe one
Best of all, with the hasport kit, the hood will close on an ek with some cutting of the hood's ribbing. Back on topic... If you want to go fast reliably, boosted b series is the answer. The H series and K series were not designed to fit into any 01' and older civic or any integra. When something breaks it's not as simple as going to Honda to get a part.
Like b16coupe said, I ran a boosted b series for 2 years, 20k miles with zero break downs, fried rings, ext... Check out my build thread in my sig. That car maybe had 250 whp, and trust me, in the hatchback I couldn't ever exploit it's potential without roasting tires or severely breaking the speed limit. On the streets my current stock itr swapped ek is much more fun to drive.

who you tellin....I drool everytime I think about 300-305hp stock and 271-275ft/lb STOCK!!!! J's are crazy, especially the most recent ones! Heard that too with the Hasport kits
I know they weren't designed for them but I've seen alot of people "make it fit" and it's not as simple but that's what you guys are here for
if I try and try and try and try and it JUST isn't working, I always have the experts on Hondaswap to full back on lolI'm stll looking around figuring things out.......I might just spend the money on a b and slowly work myself to building a k or just buy one already swapped for less money but everyday I learn a little more and that's what I love about the Honda game
