go to http://www.hasport.com They have mounts/wiring/axles. It is pricey but well worth it if you're not capable of doing any of that stuff.

Well.. not what I would call swap for dummies... if you search the net for b-series swaps there are numerous step by step instructions with people that have done it before with pictures, parts lists.. on and on.. With this new kit, there are no complete instructions, step by step, parts.. yet. For instance, no mention ne way or the other about AC, no steps for setting up shift linkage, just some basic info about what might work. I have a fairly complete set of tools including air tools, engine hoists and stands. I have no doubt I could do a B series swap to a CRX, but I would not attempt a k series yet until the parts and instructions are complete. The idea of an RSX-s with a 6 speed in my CRX is worth waiting for...

If you read the attached .pdf to the link I provided it walks you through it. True, it doesn't hold your hand with a lot of pictures (who I must say like pictures) but it tells you how it can be done. Now with AC on K-Series swap, most people will not be running AC with this swap until some serious custom work is done to the lines and we can not forget the hood clearance issues.

dude, if you spend 2 grand in parts from hasport and you run into a snag, you can call them they will help you. they stand behind their products.

or you can always come on here and ask, or k20a.org... pacman had the swap even when there was no mounts to buy.

anyways, im looking to do the same swap this summer, i need to save up another 3 grand and i should have enough for a usdm k series, 500$ a month put away.

good luck!

Ah.. OK. this is basically from that instruction sheet.. attach the cables to the RSX tranny.... run it to the shifter and attach it somehow? How. Other forum info suggests a custom box for the shifter? under the floorboard or just mounting it on the floorboard.. For me this aint enough info.

But I am sure the details will eventually come out as those who like to be on the bleeding edge shed some blood...

FROM THE PDF.....

Install RSX shifter cables on the transmission. Route the shifter cables into the Civics’ cabin by cutting a small hole in the floor in front of the old shifter location or low on the firewall. Check clearances with items like sway bars and catalytic converters to choose the best path.

it says cut a hole in the firewall to accomodate it.

it must be at a different angle or perhpas shorter in overall length and therefore cannot go totally under the car as the stock linkage did.
