K20Z3 into 93 ej1
i am looking at a few options for my 93 ej1
i know k20z3's are very expensive but i might be able to get all the parts(motor, tranny, alternator etc) for about $4,000. i can get a deal
how hard is this swap into my 93 coupe?
how much would i need to change or would it just be motor mounts?

its a pretty big swap. i dont know all the specifics, but i know you need more than just the motor mounts. considering this is my dream swap i should probably look more into the details myself but i know hasport makes the mounts. and i do beleive one of the mounts requires the removeal of the old one for the new one to be welded in. idk if thats just for the j series v6 swap though.

It's harder to use than the K20A/K20A2/K20Z1. The transmission has an issue with the VSS; there is a fix, but it's a complicated process which involves drilling into your transmission. You'll need the K-Pro to get around the immobilizer, and use a K20A2 engine harness, with modifications. There are a few differences; check out K20A.org to get the full scoop. The bottom line is, unless it's cheap (I don't consider a $4,000 K20Z3 swap cheap), don't bother. Most of the Civic Si stuff has to be replaced with RSX stuff to make it work.

I had thae k20z3 swap and decided to sell it and go with k20a easier swap and less problems with vss and drive by wire. This makes it cheaper in part to buy then the k20z3 swap.
