Default What parts are required to build a K20a engine for a 1992 honda civic from scratch?

Ok, so I've tried looking on the internet on how to build a K20a dual twin turbo engine from scratch by buying my own materials, but the internet dnt tell me ****. I've asked plenty of ppl and all of my friends who know sumwut a little bit of knowledge on cars, and none of them could tell me ****. So i decide to ask anyone and everyone on here this question: What parts are required to build ur own K20a dual twin turbo engine for a 1992 honda civic from scratch? I dnt care about the prices of each part or how expensive it will be, i jus wanna know each and every part i need in order to build it. Once i know wut parts i need in order 2 build this K20, i can take it from there, so plz, if anyone knows wut i will need, plz help me out and let me know, thanks!!!

And also, plz dnt leave any rude comments or replys. I may not know much, but u know wut, i really dnt give a damn. If u dnt wanna give me any advice or help, and just wanna be rude instead, plz dnt bother me or write me any rude or negative replies. I jus wanna know wut i need to know so i can be happy, ok?

at the top of each of the forum pages, there is a new sticky. its a k motor forum. check that out if you're interested in doing a swap like this.

and coming at it like an ***, and being a bitch ball baby, "don't say rude ****" won't get you too far on honda tech. just a little FYI.

If he's truly building a K20 from scratch, with all brand new OEM parts and twin turbo'ing, he'll need more like $20K I think.

OP, you should buy an already assembled longblock. If you don't, you'll need (partial list):
EDIT - added quick and dirty price estimate. Didn't look up any prices, just quickly estimated based on what I've seen.
head - $1000
block - $1500
cams - 600
crankshaft - 300
timing chain - 100
water pump -100
oil pump -100
intake manifold - 400
custom, one-off twin turbo header - 2500
pistons - 500
headgasket - 50
rods - 300
bearings - 100
rings - 50
transmission -1200
shift linkage - 100
shifter - 100
valves - 500
springs - 300
retainers - 100
wrist pins - 50
cam caps - 50
sensors (MAP, TPS, CKP, etc) - 300
wideband O2 - 200
Coilpacks (I think K20s are distributorless, right?)
harness - 200
ECU - 200
mounts - 200
axles - 100
turbos - 1500
custom exhaust - 500
downpipe - 200
BOV - 200
charge piping - 200
intercooler - 200
someone to dyno tune - 400
clutch - 200
flywheel - 200
slave cylinder - 100
throwout bearing - 40
Kpro setup maybe - 400
Odds and ends nuts and bolts - 500
lots of labor $$$. If you're not smart enough to know this build is a moneypit, then you're probably not smart enough to know how to do it yourself. - 5000
assembly lube for teh assraping - $10

Estimated (and very lowball, I think) cost: $20850.


Never say money is no object. If you're seriously thinking about dropping 20-30K on a 3K civic, then... well... I just don't know what to say. Proof that $$ <> brains. Dawg.

Saying money is no object is the dead giveaway that this is another of someone's wet dreams. It will never see reality.
