Holy Crap.

I'd still never stick one in an ITR, but that's nasty!

So where was the K20? Was it in the green one? All I saw was a Civic with a H22 swap.

If you watch the entire video clip, it clearly says the Midori EK is the one with the K20 if you couldn't tell by his highway runs.

That video definitely shows some dangerous driving in traffic.

I just realized you have a full size radiator with your swap. How did you do that and what type of radiator did you use. I have only seen people use half style radiators like ek/eg radiators

On top of the radiator, it says Koyo.

I used the full-size Koyo and the stock fan.

if your using a full size radiator what kind of hoses would you use, custom made ones or are the other years that fit on it?

Yup. All the way across, with two aftermarket fans.

GK Sorry i really cant read it yea i know i must be blind but it still puzzels me on how you got a full size radiator to fit with the swap. I have asked around on other boards and they all told me cant use a ek/eg radiator and remount it somewhere else

I'm curious. Why two fans? Added peace of mind or was there someone who suggested you do that?

I don't know if it's extra peace of mind or not. We can ask Evans about it.

They are incorrect, as evident by the pics Nikos posted and the example in my garage

No, no, he's not incorrect. An EG/EK radiator will have the outlets on the wrong side of the radiator. The RSX or S2000 will work though.

That is true. I didn't see the hoses comment. That's a relatively minor detail though, which is why I didn't think of it when I saw "you can't use a full length radiator".

He (I think) meant that the nipples on the full-length RSX radiator are on different ends than the stock Integra radiator.

EG and EK? What do I care?

DC&gt;EK and EG

I did actually think the EG/EK half-size would still be wrong, like too close to the intake or throttle body. I know for sure the full-length Integra one wouldn't work though.

I agree with the full-length radiator.......but DC/EG are the same..EK is different.

but with a K series, it doesn't matter

George, why didnt you use an aftermarket fuel rail, those braided lines look like they are held on with hose clamps?

Also an interesting charge harness routing.

I like your radiator alot, mine was quite a bit more work to get to fit. (I used an s2000 radiator, for my k20a2 swap.)

Car looks good though.

LOL... I have no idea. We'll have to ask Mr Evans about that.

The shift box has been moved back about two inches since the first pictures were taken.
