I waas just wondering if anyone could tell me if I. Could possibly do a motor swap with a rsx and keep the full stock type of setup. That's way the car is quiet and reliable,and good on gas, but has tons of power if I need it! I have a 2000 civic .ex.....also can u do the 6speed like the rsx so that it does ever better on fuel? I'm just real courious on how hard it is to do that setup in my car..or if anyone else has tried it and liked it!? Thanks guys ..sorry. for all the questions, I'm. Just wondering about it all in my head so I figure who better to ask! Lol also can u keep ac and all those goodies?? Thanks!

 

What? I'm not sure what you're asking but I would go to k20a.org.
http://www.k20a.org/forum/
Hope you have deep pockets.

 

I was asking those ?s as in can I put that motor in my 2000 civic, and keep it to wear everything works like stock, gauges, air conditiong etc. ...sorry if any confusion

 

Again; Do you have deep pockets?
Go to K20a.org. They have parts lists and can answer any question more accurately than anyone here can.
You really should try searching in teh future.

 

im new to all of this im only 16 but im going to try and buy an EG shell and i wanted to do a k20a turbo build. but i only have around 5000 dollars for everything including the motor. is there anyway that i can get the motor and all the necessary parts for a turbo setup to make around 450 to 500 hp? if so can i please have a list of the parts. everything i need from boost gauge to motor mounts. if not can someone still help me with the list and ill just keep saving up. i really want to do this build and i need as much help as possible. i think i came to the right place

 

look through this link, there is a list of all the things you will probably need for the swap.
next time try searching. i searched using yahoo and found this page in 5 seconds.

K20+500hp+$5K? Not gonna happen. Get realistic.

 

Yeah, $5,000 will barely get you the engine, never mind all the parts needed to complete the swap.

 

Kswap is a great choice .but get ready to shell out a couple grand and more if you're having a shop do the work.good luck w build ..check K20A.org .

 

so since everyone here is very confident in telling me i wouldnt be able to do the turbo k20a swap for $5000 would it be possible to do like a b16b swap? and turbo it and try to reach the same hp goal?

 

Search. Please.

 

okay

 

Yeah, you really gotta search more, these are very common questions that every new guy that comes in here asks. You got to figure after answering them 16 million times, people get sick of it :-P.

They're def. right about the K20, you may JUST get the motor in your car for 5k, not to mention fully building it to handle numbers like that. A stock K20 has the ability to put out like 230 or so at the wheels if memory serves me correctly once it's tuned with something like k-pro in its fully stock form.

As for the CTR motor you're interested in, do yourself a favor and ignore it - it's a waste of a motor, IMO, and parts will be hard as heck to find. The reason why I don't like it is because just like the B16A, before 4-5k you don't notice any difference, so it feels like you're driving around a stock D15/D16..so for daily driving you don't even feel the upgrade that you dumped plenty of money into unless you hammer it.

Go with a 1.8 - the GSR is a good, solid, motor, with fairly common parts, that you can probably have in your car for under 5k. Probably couldn't boost it, but it'd still be quite nice.

One thing you have to remember when boosting a civic/teg motor to 4-500hp, is that you're GOING to need to build the block - which means you're going to need to drop a hefty amount in a machine shop if you want to do it right...that's on top of the motor and swap components.

Tons of people want to do swaps, look around, use the search feature, you're not the first to have this question. Though the budget is too small...and you realistically can't expect somebody to list "every part, boost gauge to motor mounts" - that's just not realistic. To both of you, do some reading...a lot of reading...

 

thanks alot man. im going to do as much research as possible.

 

heres an old link before K series on what where when and why you should or shouldn't pick certain swaps
http://www.hondahookup.com/info/engine_swap_faq.php
hope this helps you out.

 

thanks alot i appreciate the help

 

Nice link

 

K series = tons of cash

 

agreed

 

how much cash are we talking about? and are there really as much problems with this swap as people say there are? ive been doing alot of research about k and b series motors..i just cant choose..both have great aspects and im just stuck..someone help please. i know someones going to tell me to do more research but i have. i just need to know how much to k swap actually costs and what kinds of problems there are in the long run and with the install. also if the b series would be better. ive been looking into b16a2 and the b18c1. and i do plan on boosting whatever i end up getting. and im puting it in an EG hatch. thanks guys i very much appreciate the help

 

Ks cost at a minimum 7k and that's basic IE: no ps, ac, stock shifter, basic cables, custom axles and no tune.
your looking at least 10k

honestly if your gonna boost stick with your EGs engine and build it for boost.
if your gonna go NA pick up a B18c1

 

A friend of mine just finished his k swap into his EG and he spent 4500-5000.

 

Unless you can post a breakdown of cost by parts/labor then this doesn't say anything.

 

yes please break this down because i like this

 

well labor he did him self. but he found someone on this site selling a k20a2 long block with tranny, engine harness, charge harness, conversion harness, axles, kpro, headers, intake manifold with sensors, innovative engine mounts with brackets, shifter box, shifter cables, karcepts shifter plate, SARD FPR, OBX fuel rail, and then the lines and fittings for it and the guy sold it to him for 4500.

It was a deal I'd say but that doesn't mean that there aren't any out there. you just have to be patient and look around and negotiate with some people.
