Looking for a definitive "how to" on removing a K series from a 04 integra
Sup HondaTech!!!!
As topic states...long story short, I have a friend who is a tow yard
operator. He gave me a call, told me of an '04 Integra he had gotten in.
So I went down there, I looked & gave it a thorough inspection(luckily it was rear ended). Needless to say, all checked out well so I bought it(engine/harness/tranny).
Now the time has come for me to get it out of there & I am looking to
plot a clear a concise plan of attack.
Please, if you have any info/insight to shine on this, please do.
I have a wide range of tools & also consider myself skilled, but to have
a general idea as to what I need & should look out for is always good right?
So are there any special bits or sockets I may need? What would you do in
this situation?
I am thinking, support it with a hoist, undo the mounts, undo
the subframe bolts, get rid of the bumper & radiator support.
Undo the knuckles from the struts, undo the connection at the cat/downpipe
& ofcource disconnect all wiring connections.
Slide in on out with the hoist yeah, then gid rid of the
parts I do not want(knuckles, brakes, CV's, subframe, etc)?
Also...this will be a future swap for me(hopefully sooner than later) so correct
me if I am wrong, but I am going to want the engine wiring harnesses, the cluster, the ECU & also the ignition housing yeah?
Thanks for your time HT.

Check out K20a.org, they should have more useful information over there. Check out the subforum dedicated to engine swaps/removals.
