well i want a k series swap but dont want to conver the car to a 5 speed anw ant to keep it automatic

has any one done this to a civic or teg
and is it posible to swap in an ato k series

oh yea i have a dc integra

 

i often wonder if HT needs spell check... ever thought about a 6 speed tranny anyways???

 

It's not hard to convert the car over to standard, seriously.

 

sorry for the bad spelling

and yes i have thought abought the 6 speed conversion but i dont want to convert it
for the simple fact that i am not going to race it
and im am just going all out on the car for looks and suspension
also my girl will end up with the car most likely
yes my gitrl can drive manual but choses not to
i my self will later on get me anoth manual car but i wanna make this a bad *** automatic


so plese no bashing on me cause it is automatic

 

dont waste your money

nobody makes a mount kit for automatic transmissions

youd have to run a stock ecu

only autos are k20a3 from an ep3 which has 160hp and is junk

and the k24 from tsx,accord, etc, and i remeber reading there trans are huge, and whouldnt fit in a civic/teg


so youd be stuck with a k20a3 which isnt worht your time or money to swap


your going to end up paying like 10 grand for a freakin 160hp junker


if you want an auto, just keep your auto single cam, and get a greddy turbo kit, it will cost a hell of alot less money

you are wrong the ep3 didnt come in automatic
actualy no i dont have to spend 10 grand
i already have somone to make me an auto trans mount and i will not be using the ep3 motor i will be using the one out of the accord and a trans from an rsx wich will fit
i dont mind running the stock ecu

<U>one again im am not tring to race the car it is going to be all show no go for this one</U>

 

sounds like you have all the answers you need, which is good cause you're venturing into almost uncharted territory with this swap. i dont see why it wouldn't work... good luck!

Then why spend all that money swapping engines to one that will net you less mileage?

 

i think it would be pretty cool if Honda made cars with paddle shift (i'm not sure if they do or not) and swap that over. i hope to do that someday seeing as i cannot physically drive a 5spd.

 

i guesse h-t does not have all the answers

but what ever
i post progress when i get it finished
