Hello fellas at h-t!! i got a question about a 08 civic si, whats the easiest way to pull the motor out (my lil brother just ordered a ctr k20a) i have done swaps on eg's,ek, and preludes and accords but this looks like its gonna be a bitch with the space.any help will be appreciated. thanks.

 

Unbolt the subframe and drop it out the bottom.

 

that's what i'd do. i've seen someone pull the radiator support out and pull the motor up (it was an r18) to change the clutch, but it seems easier to drop it out the bottom.

 

yea out the bottom it will go.

 

the subframe gets dropped, and u lift the car up. its easiest with a lift and an engine hoist to lower the motor to the ground.

 

K20A huh.... That sounds cool. Why didn't he just mod the k20z3???

 

it woulda been cheaper to k frank. more power and tq for half the price

 

Take it out through the bottom

 

The motor has to be pulled from the bottom from the subframe

 

thats whati told him but he said he wants to be different, also he has the mugen si so itll a good addition to it

 

Thats koo and all but trust me the k20a is a really good motor but i had a k20a block ready to install in my fg2 and sold it and went with my k24 and build that and trust the tq is crazy way better than what any k20 can put out, and with flashpro its just a beast , i just need the rdx injectors and im set. Look on hondata website for the map calibration and check the numbers yourself. Look at the tq numbers. I trully can say i was proud and wanted to be dif and go with a k24 block and build it lol and its mad sleeper

 

Damn that sounds like a sick *** na setup man.
