there is not a whole lot of tegs with a kseries swap yet. I was looking into doing it and I found that it would cost at least $6000 for the motor, tranny, and all the other parts you will need. There would probably also be other things you would run into while installing it, unless you pay somebody to do it which would cost even more. I'm not saying don't do it, just saying that it is a little costly. but if you can afford it, by all means go for it. just make sure you do enough research on it.

P.s. You should also look into the k24. It should be a little cheaper than the 20.

Hasport now has all the necessary components available. It's now down to where it's easy to do the swap in a weekend, and possible to do it in one workday. Yes, the price is a bit prohibitive, but the advantages of the K series motors far outweigh the additional cost.

The K20a3's (Civic SI Motor) aren't much cheaper than the K20a2's. It might be a better option to do a K24a1 from a CRV and then use an EP3 (Civic SI) 5-speed tranny. Should cost about the same as a K20a3 but with more torque, more displacement, and more potential.

LS turbo? Well, in my opinion it's the best motor to boost on. It's got the lowest compression, which is better for tuning (doesn't make it as hard) and in the end is more forgiving. Many people on stock blocks are pushing 300whp out of their b18b/a1 (of course with tuning) although, it seems like you want more show then go. So, your options are what you make them, be it H22, B20, LS/Vtec, hell put a Bluebird motor in your car (U12/13 Nissan factory turboed motor) bluebird = fwd and fabricate it to your car. Not alot of people like swapping in completely different makes into their car, although since your taking the K series and sticking it in your teg I'd say your just in the same alley.

dude do it that will be a sick swap just make sure you have all the right ecu equipment. Thats a kinda complicated swap as far as sensors and plug ins are concerened. Not too mention weight is gonna be a issue as well as the room in the engine bay. You are probally gonna have to really shoe horn it in there not too mention motor mounts but i'm sure HASPORT has them available for that swap. Thats tight that you are doing that swap, my friends and i have been talking about unique motor swaps and head build ups. And that was one of ours on the list. It will be tight but i would look into the weight issue of that power plant and how it is gonna affect steering it may and it may not. I mean for example a kid i know shoe horned a H22A into his del sol and he can't steer to save his life granted that is a little extreme but when we did the swap we didn't really think it would be a huge deal but it turned to play a major factor. Also what are your intentions is it gonna be a daily driver? a auto cross car? a drag car? or a show car? also the Vtec wiring harness is probally gonna have to be sent out to HASPORT for splicing and compatibilty. Just make sure if you are gonna do it yourself that you get stuff right and don't be afarid to call your local Honda dealership, i'm sure they would be intrested to help out. Also if you were curious instead of a K20 you should shoe horn the CRV motor with a B-18 head and that motor will just rock. It's a tourque monster and high reving. And thats always a win win.


Any questions ? Call David Hobbs Honda in Glendale Wisconsin and ask for George he will be glad to help. 1-414-352-6100 ROCK MAN

You really think that Honda is going to help you swap a k20 into a teg huh? How naive. All you can ask them is "Do you have part#xxxxxx" . Thats it

I don't know man i work at David Hobbs Honda and you would be suprised, they are generally really helpfull you just have to know how to work around and with them, a kid at work shoe horned a f-20 long block into his Civic and all honda had to say was can we see pics. Kinda funny huh. A k20 is a rocking motor but i think a b-20 with a b-18 is gonna be much stronger but hey man it's all about personailty and what you want.

K20A3 is an overly crappy motor to swap. Go With the A/2 or stay B-Series. The A3 has very little torque and for the price of one, you could be pushing 350 WHP in a LS/GSR. Not to mention it doesn't even have VTEC, instead it has variable intake cam timing to improve emissions. Now the RSX-S and DC5R have the real VTEC. In fact, Honda reverted to an OBD1 style ECU with them so they are highly tunable with a chip such as Kpro or the likes. They have a ton of potential and can reach up to 250 HP on the stock bottom end. Name a B or H series engine that can do that.
