Im going to trade my gsr swap for a k20 swap, but I want to know if it's worth it?? (parts and labor) I do swaps my self, but never like this. does anyone have this swap in there eg and did it on there own??? if so pls. help me out, where do I get the mount kit (hasports don't have one on there web site), and where do I get the axle's from??? also what harness do I need to run, and what jumper (obd2????) also it's a cable shifter right??? if so what do you have to mod. pls help out thanks

 

sounds like you know very little about this swap. id suggest you search and do some research before you get into it. this swap is not like your ordinary swap, and itll cost a good bit.

 

yeah, its no walk through the park man. i believe the website is http://www.k20a.org which has ALOT of good info. the threads dont move nearly as quick as H-T so it's alot easier to sort through.

call up hasport, cuz i know they got the mounts. as for the rest of the questions, im unsure of. definately be awware that theres lots of costs beyond just the engine itself to get it running, so plan for a broken bank unless youre a baller

 

get ready to spend lots of money on dumb ****

 

yeah and that's coming from some who never did a k20 swap. lol you wouldn't even know where to start buddy.

 

Theres this one K in town that i beat up on with a GSR..i wasnt imprest

not quite, coulda been a type-s motor or even a base rsx motor. oh and sheepeg3 do u goto UCR? im in riverside too

 

eh, I still stand firm

no GSR is going to beat up on any swapped civic that has almost 200ft/lb TQ

sorry, but that is not happening.....unless his car is very very stout and has extremely short gears

The 210-hp K-motor from 2005 Type-S only has 143 ft-lbs.

 

ummms i beat a rsx type s with mods on the freeway from starting at 3rd gear, wit my gsr with little bolt ons..oh and this was in my old civic coupe too lol, but than again this was back in 02

 

rsx is heavy, we are talking about a SWAPed civic.

 

ok, well even if it has only 146TQ

prep work https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=871847

how to https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=985794

some useful info in here (see my post ) https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1057810

harness - go with hasport or Hybrid racing
axles - go with DSS (both Hasport & Hybrid Racing) or ProFab
mounts - go with hasport or hybrid-racing
headers go for DTR, RCrew, Hytech or Hasport, mod'd (after mkt) tsx
don't forget about the ECU - you will need to remove the immobilizer (most likely) K-pro is definitely the way to go if you are going to tune your car

K20a2 & k20a swap civics are laying down 155 lb/ft to 165 lb/ft or tq @ AT THE WHEELS...not too mention 220+ whp...Hotwheelz laid down 215whp & (a flat table of) <U>181 lb/ft tq </U>(dynojet) with a k24a2 (TSX) powered RSX

you think your (sheepeg3) GSR could beat this k-powered eg http://www.we-todd-did-racing....DE%3D &lt;---right click save as - I had this video saved on my computer...all recognition for this needs to go to hondata (derek's k20a eg @ california speedway

 

Looking at about $3,000 in accessories after buying the engine and tranny.

AT THE LEAST

many have spent in excess of $5000 in accessories...it all depends on how far you want to take it & how much money you are willing to spend

you can even mount the shifter ep3 style (not my car)


once again I want to point your attention to this vid for those who have not seen it & question the power of a K-powered swap (k20a with i/h/e & kpro)

U guys act like Ks are un touchable. bring ur stock K motor against me and i will still give u a car head up. I know a stock b18c1 wouldnt touch a k20r but I'm not stock. Yes im in Riverside and go to UCR as well. I just wrecked my car last Sunday at the races though so I wont be driving it for a minute.

I was wondering if anyone tried that yet. I'm contemplating about doing that as well. Ep3 shifter owns.

somebody's trying to compensate for something here. Damn insecure people

 

mounts for that motor are at least 495 shipped, unless bought used or come with the motor

Whoa. First time I've seen someone try an EP3 style shifter in another Honda. Looks pretty good.

Thats what makes the K so nice. They have so much Power in stock form. The K type r , is way faster than the B type R, and the Type S is faster than a GSR. You have to do work on a b to get it to where a stock K is. Now when the K does the same things. He keeps staying one step ahead of the game.

In a nutshell: where the built n/a B series is maxed out the stock K series is just beginning

 

GSR good

K20, better . .

yes, now its pricy, but its worth it

to each his own, we are all on the same side right . . . right?

*lol*

200 ft/lb of TQ ?????

first off the type S has almost the same HP as an b18cR. second, the tq is only slightly higher than a GSR. so wtf are you talking about 200 ftlbs?

very very stout? so i need a bad *** b series to beat 210 HP and 143 tq AT THE CRANK?

wtf????
