Rep Power: 0 K20 swap??
HI All;
I have an 02 civic ex and am considering a K20A# swap. Can anyone offer some input as to problems, things i may run into. I can get a K20A2 for about 7000 canadian installed. One shop wanted 15000 and said the drive shaft and blah blah blah needed upgrading.. any thoughts?
thanks

Rep Power: 0 Check out the forced induction and swap forum. Drive shaft needed upgrading? Hondas dont have a drive shaft. We have cv joints that turn a front foward drive car. A drive shaft is for a rear drive car.

Alright, here's the deal...I have the k20a swap in my 02 civic and believe me, it was more work and money then i had ever expected. There are many problems you will probably run into, as i did. I've spent around 11g's to do mine. And 2 months in the shop. If your seriously considering on doing this swap, im me on AIM and i'll tell you about it. My s/n is: SpoonCivic06.
