Ok guys, its official, I am saving up for the K series swap, forget all the overdone B series and H series out there, I want and need to be different, especially for future shows. I need a list like I've seen for old Civics of everything that I'll need to make it a turn key project. I'll be installing it myself with friends help of course and other than that all I gotta worry about is what prices, etc. everythign will run. This will be going into my 1997 Civic hatchback.

 

Wanna be different? Drop a 427 smallblock into your hatch. THAT'D be different.

 

Go buy this month or last months issue of HondaTuning (95 Prelude on the cover). They do a K swap into an EK

Yeah, and they do a really good job of how to do it too.

 

 

pm litterbox...im sure he can point you in the right direction

 

visit k20a.org tons of info on this project. There are alot of ways to cut costs w/o cutting corners. Some of the ways I have found are:
Modify existing k fuel rail buy welding a -6 an fitting on to run to a fpr. save 100
use type s axles with b series outters, or straight base rsx axles or ep3 axles save 200
use prc ecu instead of kpro if you are running n/a save 800
used tsx stock header instead of aftermarket save 300-1000

those are some ways to cut almost 1500-2000 off of the swap.
things you can't bypass
swap harness - you can make your own but lots of time to research and source stuff
swap mounts

hope this helps.
