i recently acquired a 99 dx hatch for $700 it had a cracked 4th cyl water jacket, with a perfect body, and an ok interior...well i am looking into doing a k20a2 swap into it sometime within the next 2 months after i finish the interior. i already know what to buy and where to buy all of it but i was wondering if on the swap do i get to keep power steering and ac or is it no option

You can keep it if you wish but your lookin at some custom ac lines to make it work. Ditch it I say and gain the *****.

Forget the power steering.. At this point, that is not an option. (hood will not clear the pulley, there is a company working on a lowered pulley but nothing yet)

A/C will work will custom lines. Fastbrakes owner did it on his car.







Also after removing the power steeting pulley you wil have 3 pulleys left.

You have 2 options... 3 pulley or 4 pulley setup

OPTION 1. USE A CIVIC Ep3 Idler pulley

Here's the setup with 4 pulleys ( with the Civic Si idle pulley)
length is 50.5 inches. You can get it at Kragen. The belt part number is 5070505.

the 7 = 7 rib
505 = 50.5 inches




and parts for the pulley are

pulley 31190-PRA-000
bracket 31175-PRA-000
washer 31185-PCX-003
bolt 90031-PRA-000

Option 2:
Here's the setup with 3 pulleys ( with the AEM pulley)





belt can be bought from advance auto
rib 39 inch belt. (rsx has 7 ribs but Supafly is using 6)

Part number is POLY COG 5070390

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER!

thank you man, I appreciate it, but like most of you guys I am just reading and learning everyday. Since last august I have been focused on the K series engines because it is new and unlike the B, it hasn;t been researched and developed to the ground. I also like the fact that at this time you cannot get a K motor that is more than 1-2 years old.

Finally, I would like to thank Brian G from hasport for taking the time to always answer my questions, and supporting my website from the beginning even though there were only 100 members that posted every 3 weeks. Now, we're at 3000+ users and growing.. Internet is a really weird place.

In order to help most people about the K series stuff, I am about to launch a full k series portal with news, tech articles and galleries of featuered cars where you can see eg/ek/dc2/crx/ef cars powered by a K.

Here;s a sample of how it will look

Again, thank you and everyone else who is willing to help me out.

Like Gary from NZ, for example. Fastest all motor car, k20a powered in NZ.

I could be wrong but i thought PS was an option. You will need some custom hose for the hydraulic lines & you will need to cut out a section of the inner skeleton of the hood
