I just bought a 2001 civic coupe lx. I am trying to find out exactly all i need to install a k20. I have searched but no exact step by step or list off goods needed. can anyone please help or point me in the right direction?

 

Items needed for K series swap, coming from Hasport:

thanks! in your experience is it worth the money? I am an avid ek lover and i have a b18c5 in mine but it wasnt worth the five grand after i was done. I had to fully build it to make it worth my time.

 

IMHO, I would not put a K series in my car, other than a true JDM DC5 ITR K20A, or a frankenstein K24/K20 with boost.

 

I was going with the k20a from hmotorsonline.com so should be a new experience for me thanks again

It'll be a good engine, for sure. Nothing but healthy amounts of Horsepower/Torque, with high potential of producing much more.

Best of luck.

 

IMO its not worth the 5000+ pricetag.

A k24a2 can be found for A LOT cheaper, and has GOBS more torque. and IMO would be a better daily drivable engine.

It all depends on the owner's ability to modify the engine. If you don't want to touch the internals, it's smarter to buy a K20A2 or K20A, but if you love to tinker, then a K24 is nice.

 

k24a2 is pretty good outa the box, the head is near k20a2.

Maybe ur think of k24a1/3/4

The VTC is still only set at 25degrees of movement, where as the K20A2 has 42 (I think), and the K20A has 50 (I know).

 

still. Maybe so, but its still a way toquier engine. I would think a k24a2 vs a k20a would be a damn close race... while a k20a2 wouldnt even come close to a k24a2

 

^^ i think a k20a2 would still take a k24a2.

I agree with that, since it puts better power down (in it's stock form).

 

how are we figuring?? a k24a2 has just as much HP, and rules it on the trq. Both are 6 speed's... I dont think so.

 

I didn't think that the K24A2 came with a 6-speed, but if it does, then I retract my prior statement.

They sure did here in Canada. TSX came in either a 6 speed or tiptronic auto i believe.

 

u.s too

 

hows the gearing for each tranny? i havent checked into it but wouldnt the k20a tranny gearing be way more aggressive than the k24a2?
