my friend and i were just discussing about if a k20a engine is possible to be swapped into a 97 and up hatchback ?

 

yup its been done already, ive seen pics of it on honda-tech, but I cant seem to find it right now. just do a search, but I hear the mounts are really expensive.

Yup. Pacman has the ek with the k20. He's also sellingthe motormounts for the k20.

 

arent the honda civic sleds on an ex coupe much lighter than an rsx? . .. so . . . the civic would be alot faster in the quarter mile run if raced properly and set up properly as welll am i right ?
if i do install a k20a into a civic. . . . would the tranny be in the right spot . .in other words would it fit just right just like any other swap ?

 

how much do the mounts for it costs ? . . .price range from how much $ ?

learn your ****, its from 96 and up hatches. and vtecvoodoo is getting a lil curious and hes starting to wonder if he can do it to a 92-95 civic.

AND, pacman is a VERY difficult person to attain. if you email him your lucky to get a response. the best way to do it is to stay on honda-tech and wait for him, lol. and then PM him while hes online.

Ain't that the truth!

 

other than dr charles, and pacman, no one really knows which axles to use, how the mounts work, or how to fab them. and from what everyone says...wiring and shift linkage are gonna be a nightmare. your pretty much have to splice, and re-solder every wire there. BUT all in all, i would do it any day. the swap is way worth it. it has incredible potential, and it outperforms any honda 4 banger on the market. its lighter than the b18c5. bore and stroke are 86x86. capable of 300+ N/A hp. and it beats the **** out of any h22 swap.

 

My hatchback has the K20a.

 

did u forget the 3 part of the k20a? or did u swap it out? =-)

Ive done this and hes not a help at all...in fact I never recieved any info back.

 

I have heard a few people are either doing it or have done it in the EG chassis.From what i remember Payne technologies was working on an EG k20 swap as we speak.

 

Pacman's busy as **** im sure...he's not on h-t 24/7 but it's possible and next time search. Wiring takes longer than saving up your lunch money to buy a hatch.
