Hey guys do any of u know if any swaps are avalible for the new civics

 

did you fall and hurt your brain recently?

 

LOLZ!!

Greatest K-series motor to date and you want to swap it??

For what?

 

the entire idea behind swapping is taking a cheap or semi unexpensive vehicle and putting a great motor into it or something better than before...... taking a $15k + vehicle and swapping another K-series into it from an older RSX type-S (for people who NEED tuning right now and hate DBW) you could have just bought yourself an RSX for less or spent the extra cash on something different. there is a guy on 8th that did a swap but i think he was dropped as a baby.

 

when I 1st got my si I stoped by a local shop for some input and asked what would be a good performance mod for the si. the owner of the shop asked if I would be willing to do an engine swap. my reply was , what? why? I got this car for the motor and your telling me to swap it out!! needless to say I have not even drove past that place since!

 

the problem i'm running into is that people don't even know what they are looking at. I was going around trying to find a place to install my comptech blower. I ran into a guy who quoted me twice what everyone else did without even looking at my car. I asked him why. He said "Its a bitch to get behind those motors to install them. So its easier to just pull the motor." I laughed at him and didnt say another word just got in my car and drove away.

 

LOL! yea I know the feeling!

He probably meant for the R18.
AND no there's no mounts yet.

 

a guy on 8thcivc put a K20a in his LX

 

if you have money to throw around like that,then do it

 

K24 bottom end......i would do but only after rods and pistons

 

go b-series. that would be cool.

Plenty of properly setup b-series that can make more hp's than K

the mounting points in the car are the same. throw away the r18 mounts (along with the motor ) and buy k20 mounts for your k-series swap. Just like if you were swapping the d-series out of a 2000 civic and putting in a b series. you just use the si mounts.

I won't comment about the B vs. K... lol
