arent the honda civic sleds on an ex coupe much lighter than an rsx? . .. so . . . the civic would be alot faster in the quarter mile run if raced properly and set up properly as welll am i right ?
if i do install a k20a into a civic. . . . would the tranny be in the right spot . .in other words would it fit just right just like any other swap ?

learn your ****, its from 96 and up hatches. and vtecvoodoo is getting a lil curious and hes starting to wonder if he can do it to a 92-95 civic.

AND, pacman is a VERY difficult person to attain. if you email him your lucky to get a response. the best way to do it is to stay on honda-tech and wait for him, lol. and then PM him while hes online.

other than dr charles, and pacman, no one really knows which axles to use, how the mounts work, or how to fab them. and from what everyone says...wiring and shift linkage are gonna be a nightmare. your pretty much have to splice, and re-solder every wire there. BUT all in all, i would do it any day. the swap is way worth it. it has incredible potential, and it outperforms any honda 4 banger on the market. its lighter than the b18c5. bore and stroke are 86x86. capable of 300+ N/A hp. and it beats the **** out of any h22 swap.

I have heard a few people are either doing it or have done it in the EG chassis.From what i remember Payne technologies was working on an EG k20 swap as we speak.

Pacman's busy as **** im sure...he's not on h-t 24/7 but it's possible and next time search. Wiring takes longer than saving up your lunch money to buy a hatch.
