Default Help: 04 ep3 hatch si w/k20r swap

Ok im noob. I been searching on the forums but can't find any specific info or guide. I am picking up an 04 ep3 hatch and will be doing a k20r swap. Motor ordered already. This is new territory for me.

I need to know what's involved, parts, mounts, wiring, ecu pinouts etc. Is it pretty straightforward swap? Anyone got a link to any guide???

Thx...

Is the motor already pulled from the clip or is it a front clip

I'd just use KPro for the ECU work. The JDM ECU, if it matters, has a limiter on top speed. But, I think it also doesn't work with ODBII scanners, so getting it to pass emissions would be more difficult.

People have been saying that these swaps are some of the easiest out there, being able to finish in 5 hours or less for the fast jobs.
