i got a "ek- ej8" 1998 honda civic coupe but i want to go with the k20 rsx-s engine i have only seen older or newer civic models but havn't seen the 96-98 with k20 swap

i think it would be the best swap what do you guys think with out the concern of money wise

i been to many sites online k-series.org, karcepts.com and so on.... if you know any sites that can be or might be help full for this swap post them thanks


just something to look at>>

 

Search here, I'm sure theres tons of info. I'm pretty sure the front end is the same in a ek hatch as a coupe.

-btw, how the hell did you get inside an icerink?

 

Check out http://www.hybrid-racing.com/articles.html as well as k20a.org etc.

The pan isn't that bad of an issue if you keep it on the forefront of your mind when driving and if your car isn't super low. Plus you can switch over to a K20A3 (civic Si) steel oil pan which won't crack like a K20A oil pan will if you bottom out hard enough.

The only problems I think are just the oil pan, maybe axles (if you don't go the OEM axle route), and smogging. Driveability is no different than a B-series engine.

 

thats the first time ive seen a honda on a hockey rink....

 

I'll buy your 1.6 v-tec off of you when you do the motor swap peter.t.nguyen@mail.sprint.com
