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

 

No, it will be a swap from hmotorsonline.

 

its a pretty much direct swap as i hear.......

 

Check into k20a.org -- TONS of info there.

I wen't over there... nothing. Lotsa stuff on EG & EK swaps but no specific info on Ep3's with K20a2 or jdm k20r swaps.

Thx! That link was very helpful. The thing is, is it similiar to the JDM K20R??? Ecu pinouts??? Vtec ground, fuel ground?

 

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.
