Deamon32 · 12-09-2003

alright im looking into getting a k20a swap into my 04 civic, but untill i get the money together i wanna do some light mod's. intake, exauhst, small stuff like that, will i be able to use those mods with the new engine or will i have to rebuy all the stuff to fit the new engine?

new engine... different fit... sorry.. just save your pennies for the swap and then start getting parts for it...

hondaciv01 · 12-09-2003

i suggest go for it all or just don't do anything until you get a new engine......also, depending on how close you are to getting this new engine, don't buy mods to early cause things can happen, and you don't want to be stuck with a bunch of mods you cant use....don't buy them too far in advance

ya i wasnt planning on doing a swap at all till i went onto the forums last night and looked into it a little more. Im pretty sure im just gonna stick with bolt ons because the swap seems like too much trouble for me, i would love to do it but i dont know yet

hondaciv01 · 12-09-2003

yeah its a huge desicion. i thought about it for months before i made up my mind

im 17 i make about 1500 a month delivering pizzas and the only payments i have to make are for my car and insurance so i have about a grand a month, sometimes more if the tips are good, to screw around with

swap is a good route...just make sure you know what you are getting into. My swap ended up taking 2 months, but thats because i wasnt properly prepared for it. The only bolt ons that you can transfer over is an exhaust, and short shift adapter.

Deamon32 · 12-11-2003

ya im getting my exhaust tomorrow, then rims, and since a short shifter is transferable ill get that too and then the swap. once that is done ill worry about other stuff, but right now i need to worry about getting my money together for everything

get a custom exhaust, then when you drop in the new motor retrofit the exhaust to fit
get a cheap ebay intake too

Deamon32 · 12-11-2003

my dad knows some guy who makes parts for magnaflow so im gonna get a magnaflow catback dirt cheap

ImportRacer2123 · 12-11-2003

Geoff i always seem to frown when i read about your swap and the short future of the swap not enough time to enjoy it.

hondaciv01 · 12-11-2003

do it!! i'm also 17 and i think of the looks i will get with the engine i have under the hood with a civic.....basically, i'm sick of showing up at lots with imports late at night and getting laughed at by cars that aren't that fast.....swap if you can get the money before outta college...

Deamon32 · 12-11-2003

ya plus after high school im gonna go work full time for a year before going to college so ill have money to do other stuff after the swap
