i currently own a 2006 civic si....i was just wondering if a b20 witha gsr head...will fit in this engine bay...im looking to do this swap asap..........thanks for any help......


Anthony......

 

why?

 

so you're swapping a newer better 2.0 liter vtec engine for an older, less robust 2.0 liter frankenstein motor? What's the point, really?

Sorry, don't know if it will fit though. Doubt you can find any pre-made motor mounts for the swap either.

 

Will it work? In short, no.

Are you an idiot? In short, yes.

 

yeah i mean if your going to swap a less powerful engine in you should have just gotten a base model dx

 

I mean maybe if you sold your motor for alot then got the b20 cheap....you could do some modding to the b20 but of course k>b so theres really no point in doing this.. and i dont think it would fit there would be to much custom work

 

also you're in cali, its probably not going to be street legal. like going from fuel injection to a carburator

 

in cail the law for engine swaps is that the year of the engine must be the same or newer of the car its being put in so its not legal toput a b20 in new civic

 

dumbest thing ive ever heard

could not have said it better my self

If you really want to get your hands dirty, just go out and by a some pos shell and drop the b20/gsr in it. have it as a project car.

 

Did you blow your engine, or something? You would have to be a complete idiot to swap out a good K20Z3 for anything other than another good K20Z3 or K24A2.

 

Trade you a LS/VTEC for your K20! lol

for real though this is a terrible idea unless you destroyed your stock motor. Even then, the mounts are not the same and theres no market for these kinda mounts so you will be looking into custom fabrication on almost EVERY part of that swap. Complete waste of time.

 

i'd probably laugh if you popped your hood for me. sounds ambitious, but pointless. maybe not so much in an eg hatch.

factory&gt;frankenstein

 

it's illegal to swap in an engine older than the chassis of the vehicle

but...i would gladly take your k20 off your hands

 

Even if you got the engine in there getting the car running well would be insanely difficult, you'd have to retrofit for OBDI or II, I doubt the speedo would work, you'd either have to rewire or replace the whole gauge cluster.

 

I got some "beachfront" property in Louisiana I'll sell ya.

Seriously, why anyone would want to do this (even if they have a blown motor) is beyond me.

 

you are the reason 07's have a bad name, you should of been an 08

 

Hey, I wouldn't recommend that since your mom is still making payments on the vehicle. I would wait for her to pay the loan off. I would atleast wait until she gets in an equity position so in case something happens to go wrong when you do that swap, then you can PROBABLY trade it in...assuming that you put the original engine back in! Since you didn't bother to think about buying a basic dx and then swap you would've saved about $9-10k going that route.

 

Jesus Christ you guys are brutal. And I thought I was bad. . The poor OP hasn't even posted in here since you guys ripped him a new *******.

 

Im sorry.

 

are you kidding me?

 

either he's afraid to reply and going for it or he's changed his mind. lol.

 

 

Did this guy just say he was gonna change the b20 for a k20?



Some 1 themselves retarded
