Hey guys, say i could get my hands on a k20A or a f20c engine, which would be the best civic to put them in. see i don't actually have a civic yet, but i was wanted to get maybe a '95 coupe which comes with a 1.5 lsi stock....could one of these engines pop into that?? if not which model of civic would you suggest? also from what i've read the k20a has better torque but lower hp, while the f20c is vice versa...i think its 220 Hp 158Trq for the k20a and
240Hp 153Trq for the f20c.
cheers guys

 

f20c = rwd = serious modification to get into any fwd car

The F20C will not go into any civic unless you are a millionaire. Quit dreaming. I know its a sweet engine, but its as useless as putting a V6 accord engine in your car.

 

ok so how about that k20a? i'm also thinking maybe a '99 civic ex
cheers

 

Thats a better idea, but it will cost you anywhere from $7k -$10k

 

it'll go in, but it's not simple

go here to read up on how to swap it, and see if your still interested.

Im thinking you get a car, take it to a shop, tell them what you want. They give you a price and you pay it.

Is it a direct bolt up? Or does it require a plate ( like H/block w/ b/tranny )

I never heard that one. Does the h22 transmission bolt up to the F20c? Does the F20c spin backward, like a h22? If it doesn't, a k series tranny could be used (if bolting it up is not to involved). Then you would probably need custom mounts/brackets.....sounds like a headache

There was someone who posted an eBay auction with a EG sedan and a C32A (Legend engine) swap with modified CRV drivetrain.

EDIT: here you go http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=6256

 

that looks sick and fast.

 

i've seen a civic with a vette engine.. but how would you mount a f20 in a civic? cuz it's not a transverse engine...

they have an nsx powered civic, its a drag car tho

 

when you put that f20 in you civic you should add like 4 turbos and 2 superchargers then on top of that you should put some naawwzz. You 1/4 mile time might be faster than most of the cars that have no engine that get pushed down the track. Good luck

 

sorry man, i didn't know much about the engine, i was just told it was a good honda engine. but now that i've asked here and been told that it can't be done i'm all the wiser. cheers everyone. i'm gonna keep checking out that k20a.

 

maybe you should check out this civic.... it's different : P http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=6256

 

car looks gay but WTF. Some nice designing. Alot of hours put in. Looks like a legend motor.

 

cheers bitch

the hell is your problem? he obviously doesnt know as much about hondas as yourself and was asking a question. why dont you go get 4 turbos and 2 superchargers so you can be as awesome as you think you are.

 

Turbo legend motor... thats just incredible.
