im not sure if anyone discussed this yet but i just got my march issue of turbo magazine and there is an article about a 1997 civic hatch that has a jdm k20 type-r powerplant in it. The article says it put out 194.9 whp in STOCK trim. Dr. Charles, the guy who built it had one run of 13.2 in the 1/4. Just wanted yall to know if it hasnt been discussed or for those who dont get Turbo mag. I just thought the 13.2 1/4 stock k20 type-r times were bad ***!!! article also discusses that he is gonna be putting in a turbo of some sort later too!!!

 

yeah but how much would it cost to get one of those jdm k20 engines. Im sure doc charles doesnt care about money.

 

Well the JDM Civic and Integra R K series engines put out 215 and 217ps respectively, so in a light hatch id guess that would haul some ***.

Thats for sure

 

I think its about damn time. Hassport did one of the first RSX k20 swaps in a hatch body and it ended up matching the perfornance of the RSX exactly (the weight of the two are almost identical). I was thinking to myself that if they are going to be one of the first and will use the car to advertize the motormounts and other misc parts nessesary to do the swap they would have put the type r k-series in. I don't know about anybody else but i think the prices of the k20 (type r or not) on ebay for example, are pretty darn good. Right now there is a K-type R swap for $4000.. right underneath that is a GSR swap for $3500

 

not saying that it woulnt be expensive, but damn, just look at the times. a few performance parts and your almost up there with the SVT's and other bad *** cars!

 

you guys forgot the whole thing...

what mounts or how was it made....
what shaft combo...
omg the wiring... how did he do the ecu.. with immobilzer or else....etc...

 

The RSX, as well as the 01 and up Civics have adopted the same engine wiring principles as the 96-00 Civics, where the engine wiring harness goes directly to the ECU. As far as I know, the RSX ECU/wiring is a plug and play in the 01-up Civics, and all you;d have to do is mess around with the Engine to chassis harness connections in the 96-00 Civic, to get connections for such things as the speedo, engine temp, oil pressure warning, etc...

 

Our mounts will be a combination of steel two steel brackets and 3 billet mounts. The axles can be either GSR or 02 Si axles with the RSX intermediate shaft. There will be a wiring kit by summer, and it will address the immobilizer. In the mean time the Mugen ECU works without problem because the cars immobilizer is different in the 96-00 models.

Look for additional information on the Hasport web site around Feb. 15.

Brian,

Are there any plans to make a kit for swapping a K20 into a DC chassis (G3 Integra)?

 

wow
for all 10,000$ they spent doing that id have a 11 second street driven turbo b20 motor.

what a waste of money.

 

Although the EK will get a bolt in kit, there will be a generic weld in kit that will work in the DC and EG cars. It will have a left, right and rear mount and new brackets to weld on the left and right frame rails. There is no clean way to do a bolt in kit on the EG and DC.

Oh my god i wish i didnt read this. Now i want a dc5 itr swap in my 97 civic coupe. That would be so nice, or a rsx type s swap would be nice.

 

Wow.....Brian G online? HMMMM....But you can't return my phone calls..

 

I'm not surprised that Brian doesn't return your calls.

 

Tell me about it...................

 

Don't feel bad, I don't return anyones phone calls.

brian g

 

hahahahah ....

now that was funny !!!

if i returned my phone calls i woudn`t be this productive.. give the man some slack.. ever tried working when the damn phone rings all the time.. it gets anoying.. if they really want you thei`ll find you

i hope this EK kit comes out soon.. cause i`m installing my built h22a but i`m curious on the possiblities of the k20a since it does sound quite promising down the road

 

Allthough we will have a working kit in the next couple of weeks, the production model will not be out for 2 or more months.

UKDM/JDM CTR has 200 hp. Its the K20A motor that comes in the RSX Type S for the gentle men that said the CTR motor puts out 215ps.

 

Im looking at my new magizine called DRAG SPORT its big as **** ive never even seen one and i bought it and they have a ad from AREA 51 that has a bolt in swap kit for k20 into ek it says i went to there web page and didnt see anything on it.. but im sure if you call they will say how much it will run you...

 

I was inferring that NO ONE would return PacMan's calls.
