Sorry if this should be in the hybrid forum but they don't give me help fast enough. I was searching around at junkyards today because last night i crashed my civic and fucked up the door and quarterpanel. I just replaced them last summer because the previous owner hit a deer.

So i bought a fender and while searching around i found a new si hatch sitting in the yard.....and asked how much i could get the engine for. He said that one wasn't for sale but they had a 02 si with 17,000 miles and the complete swap axels and ecu, tranny and everything for $2500 .

I am wondering if that is a good deal and what kind of engine that even is? Also is this swap a hard swap and how long could i do it in? Could someone please help me

 

k20...? for that price.. hook it up...!

 

is that what the engine is?? How hard of swap is it? thanks for the fast response.

Also what are some of the other specs on the k20?

 

I would drive to NJ for that kidna deal on a K20...

 

don't even think about it it is mine, all mine. But does anyone know some info on the k20, if that is the engine that is in the 02 si?

 

buy it and sell it and double your money

there's plenty of threads that discuss the k20 into *insert your chassis here* there are kits available for the entire swap. the price is a little high still compared to going b-series. just do a search on k20's and you find hours of info. btw 2500 is an average price for a usdm k20. i seen em lower and higher.

 

damn that seems like a steal to me for $2,500...but i also dont have much knowledge in k series.

search around h-t for swap info on k series its been covered...

here is some specs of the '02 si that i got from http://www.hondanews.com...

not a problem as long as you understand good luck on your motor purchase...

 

k20a3 is a crappy motor until you slap a k20a or a2 head on it. Price is okay, but you will need to dump another $1 maybe 2 Gs just to get all the parts for the swap. And b16 should whoop that motor with it's stock head.

Yeah, from what I understand that head is no good. Sounds like a good deal, but keep in mind that you are getting the weak k-motor

 

Just buy it already!

 

from what ive heard 2500 seems like a pretty good deal.

 

WOW a b16 except less miles for a lot more money and work!

 

I would think this over before buying it. I mean you will need to buy **** load of parts for a swap, plus wiring is a bitch. And you will still prolly get owned by b series hatches.
