So is this is the extent of the trimming that needs to be done to fit the RBC intake manifold?
Does anything else need to be rerouted, etc?

maaan much love for u guyz! i bought my civic 2 summers ago for 5,300 CAD, new tranny but 180k on it. It was cleeean! so far only looks and sound mods, much rice but i looked into a k20 swap, saw a k20a3 with transmission and fuel lines for 1,400 CAD, figured it would cost me bout 3 000 with remaining parts and swap it myself, it would def give me a kick and i think its much cheaper than a k20a2 swap, then i would turbo it l8r on with more cash. Anyone got an opinion on that? i will be needing anew engine soon anyways either way because of high mileage, but i also don't want to spend a huge sum like 5 000 or over, so i figure a k20a3 would give me the small boost i need and reliability as well. I would probably only boost under 6psi considering it would be a daily driver. Opinions? im starting a full time stage in afew months, good pay so ill have abit extra cash thank god university is so expensive

Nice swaps :D But why all do you guys use the K20A2 and so on to swap? like i had read, it cost you like 10k ore more! anywhere outa there was a how to K24(out of crv) with K20A head swap in EM2 and it cost him only about 5k with all!
So I´m from europe, the only way to go for me, is to swap in the K24A3 from EDM accord CL9 with acura RSX S head...i ask a engine dealer about the costs for an k24A3 engine. a lil bit over 2000€ would cost me the engine with 20.000km on it, ....so why don´t do k24A swap? it too has much more potential like K20A....
