hi i was just wondering if it would be possable to k swap a cb7. has anyone done this? is there a write uop about this yet? i can get a wrecked rsx type s for cheap with the 6 speed transmission. like 500.00 he bought it back from insurance company after he got paid for his new car. just wants it out his driveway. it is the k20z1

 

Good luck, I hope you have deep pockets

H22 would be a better motor choice as its been done tons of times

 

whats so hard about this swap? ya but everyone has a h22 and this is fairly cheap. ive seen it in civics. i can cut and weld and have access to every tool you can think of.

 

It's been done before. I don't think you want to go K20. Do K24(more torque) which will suit the chasis better.

 

There is a thread out there of someone who did it before, i just can recall where I had seen it. Maybe the cb7 forum.... If your really getting the swap just get it as cheap as you can and sell it to the Civic boys. You can make a pretty good deal off of it and buy an h22 or even build a g23. You can make some good money off that swap!

 

i have seen a sr20 fr in a cb7

 

u could actually do the swap if u wanted. youd just need to talk to a company about designing custom mounts. and seeing as how the accords use the same engines and axles as preludes, and the k swap has been done before in ludes, there should already be custom axles you can buy. then id consult someone about making a custom wire harness. those will be the toughest parts of the swap. the shift linkage might be a little challenging as well idk i havent looked at any kswap builds in a while so all of this was slightly off of assumption.

even if u dont swap it into the accord, id buy the engine and transmission for that price anyways and just hold onto it for later. once u become more knowledgeable about swaps and are mentally prepared for the "lord of the rings" style journey youll partake while making the swap happen, then you can decide what to do with it.

in all honesty k swaps are considered harder than B's, but for the most part theyre pretty straightforward. might need to do some cutting of the engine bay walls as well for fitment.
this swap wont be the cheapest either so expect to pay for the mounts etc.
