ok, so far ive managed to get a engine out of a Honda CRV (k24), but have yet to actually run down a pick it up at local parts place.

Now i have couple of questions and ive searched around and managed to get some answers but im still alittle confused on some things. I got a list of things i need* but im kinda looking at the cheapest way to get the motor in my car. I have a 2003 Honda Civic Dx Coupe (no a/c)

Mounts (has sport makes these correct? or is there a better brand)

Transmission (since the motor is from a crv is an automatic, does that mean i need to find a manual tranny for it, or will the one from my stock motor fit on it, 5spd)

ECU with harnesses for respective motor (i got the stock ecu from the crv, but once again, automatic motor, do i need to find a manual one?)

EP3 Si subframe (having alittle trouble tracking one of these down, and ones i do find, seem to be expensive, is there an aftermarket alternative?)

Intermediate shaft (from what car do i need to find these?
EP3 Si Driveshafts (same as the subframe, since very few Si's were sold in my area, there is even fewer to get parts from)

RSX Throttle cable (got this part)

Shift Linkages (If using 6 speed transmission) (guess the releates back to my other tranny questions)

EP3 Si radiator and fans (cant use stock rad?)

RSX fuel lines (got them*)

RSX Brake booster line (got it*)

RSX EVAP purge lines (not sure what this is, what is it required for?)

RSX clutch lines from master to slave cylinder ( " )

I got the power steering stuff to, included the 92-95 bracket, so i assume that jsut bolts right up?

Thanks guys for you help. This is my first honda swap and im kinda confused with it all, everything seems like the car is a lego block setup, and this and that bolts to every other honda in existance haha!

Thanks,
Richard

 

the big thing im trying to get to here is have a daily driveable civic with about 200-240hp (boost eventually).

 

Hasport not has sport ,makes great motor mounts although the kit for the 01-05 civic runs about 500 dollars. no your tranny wont bolt up because its a completely different series of motors.

 

sorry for the spelling mistakes* is there any cheaper kits out there?

and thanks to the answer to one of my questions, so i guess the search starts for a manual tranny k-series instead and hopefully get refund on the current engine.

 

hasport makes the best mount kit.

enjo has a kit as well i believe but i heard the fitment is not the greatest.

there is no aftermarket alternative for the subframe.
u need an ecu from a MT crv

driveshafts u can buy aftermarket performance shafts from driveshaftshop, hasport.

this swap unfortunately is far from cheap.

good luck with it.

 

thanks for the info!

i found answers to all my other questions at http://www.xproductionz.com/k20swap/k20swap.html (very good write up, recomend it)

ive priced up alot of the parts on the site and everything seems to be listed alot higher than the parts are currently, i have found a wrecked rsx for cheap ( alot of rear end damage but 0 front end damage) so hopefully ill get my money back on the crv motor and swap the rsx motor instead.
