Default New Area 51 EK + K20 swap

Dr Charles has worked his magic......and I just wanted to post some pics for everyone's viewing pleasure.....the K20 is from a JDM Integra Type R...right now its putting 195 to the ground, untuned!







Call Area 51 at 949.472.6320 if you have questions or are looking to do the swap!

Looks like a photochop. The motor is sitting further forward on the pessenger side in each pic.

Nah, its looks real. But why. the motors are sooo much and they only put 195 to the wheels. a b20 vtec is much cheaper

THat's why it's turned 180 degrees.

I highly recommend that if you didn't read it, you try and get a back issue of Honda Tuning from 2-3 months ago with an article called "K series breakdown". (not just you, anyone that's interested) The mounts for the K series are the same as the D and B series, just on opposite sides of the car. Anyone who's good at framework could easily make the necessary changes to drop in a K series to a D or B powered car. Whether the weight distribution comes out correctly is a different story. Let's just say, it would be a good a show car, but not necessarily a good driver.

Too many details look right for this to be a photochop job. Radiator swapped to drivers side to accomodate intake, engine leaning to clear hood.

I think it's legit, but I'm sure it was a BUNCH of work.
Or maybe I'm being had. Eh, so what?

Come to think about it, the pics look legit. It was only a matter of time until this type of swap happens, nice work.

The engine spins opposite of the B/D series, but the axles still spin the same way.
An RSX does not drive backwards.
