k20 swap: bad idea?

ddrcivicex · 12-21-2002

this post is pertainig to the k series swaps
i see on everyones wish-list.
i live near phoenix and run my car at firebird raceway. That is where the hasport motor company is locted. The seden with the k swap was there the last night of the season. I'm sure every one saw it on the cover of honda tuning.Anyhow the car was running mid 16's and I thought that with a 200hp type s engine it would be alot faster. The driver said that he was having suspension problems, I wonder if that could be the cause of his problems. I think that the engine is too heavy for the car. I am not a pro, just passing on what I saw

WTF? 16s with the K20A2?? NO F****** WAY!

I got to ride on htown's civic and it sure felt like a 15 second car.

K20 is never a bad idea.

either

A.) the car wasnt working right, computer probs like they were having during the HT photo shoot.

B.) the driver S.U.C.K.E.D

A RSX runs low 15's 15.2-4 and a civic is 500 lbs lighter.

I think it would be cool to have the RsX engine in a civic and fool people, but it's an expensive investment, I think HT said somewhere around 10,000, with that much invested just with the engine you might as well have purchased the RsX. I would definetly consider it if it were a bit cheaper.
