Default k20 in 1989 civic hatch?

i want a pretty fast engine in my little hatch and i was wondering how hard it would be to put a k20 in it by myself.

Not that hard. Hardest problem would be drilling out the pass. side mount, and drilling in the 2 holes to put in the new mount.

Other than that IMO easier than swapping in a B series.


But what you'll need is a Aftermarket fuel rail, fuel lines, mounts, header, ECU(hondata or type Rto get it running), Sub engine harness, to work with your stock harness, and a intake pipe probably a 3inch staight piece of aluminum piping. Also possibly a karcepts modified CRX shifter kit if you want your inside shiffer area to look stock.


That should do it. Depending on the quality of parts you get above, it should cost you 5-8k.

You can also use AEM EMS instead of Hondata. So if you get a engine without a ecu, you can buy the AEM.

You have to use the K series Shifter Cables.
