yo guyz does any 1 kno if k20a will fit into civic91 dx?

 

yes

 

umm yea

 

yes

 

If this is what you want you will be doing lots of cutting, lots of custom fabrication, and spending lots of money (well over $5000-$8000 dependant on the vehicle and condition). Buy a new 06 Si if you want a K20, stick to B series if you aren't sure about what you want and still want good power in your EF.

In answer to your question, yes a K20A will fit in an EF, I have seen it done, but it is about as rare as an H series in an EF. It isn't done often because it is VERY difficult compared to a D or B series swap, not to mention the hood and ground clearance issues. The motor is taller and requires firewall modification beyond a B seires to make the header fit.

IMO, don't do it. It will be a major headache and not worth the effort. You could buy a newer swapped car for less money it would take for installation and labor, modification and restoration of the car.

definetly just enough to add the basic mods only but its quick enough by a swap itself just fix up internal methods and u'll be hitting 11-12's stock with street tires

 

How much did you guys spend on yours (vehicle in total, including welding and cutting materials as well as other body and suspension items to make it all work) to get them where you were comfortable driving it on a regular basis?

I have a hard time justifying a K20 if you aren't a dedicated ricer (oops, did I say that out loud? I meant racer ). Cost vs end product just doesn't add up to something streetable IMO... But then again I have enough fun with my 1.5 and I don't need to stroke my ego with Vtec either . That is what my Camaro is for, if I feel the need to make ricers cry I break out the stroker and leave them breathing my tire smoke.

I have also heard that due to clearance issues you will either have to get the SiR hood with spacers and/or go so low from the mounts that you will have so little ground clearance it is useless to drive it every day. My common sense says stay with what your car was designed for, B or D.... but please god, do not go K. I would rather wreck my hatch than put a K in her.

BTW... That ricer comment was not directed towards you guys, just a joke
