is that usually included in a swap? sorry im just trying to know all i need to know about doing this. what does the k-frame look like so i know what to look for? i also have the megan racing downpipe for the d17, can i stll use it? does it fit? i know the midpipe has to be extended but its custom anyway and the guy said he would give me a whole new midpipe with resonator for 50 bucks so thats cool.

oh and is there any other company other than hasport who sells the mounts because $600 is a lot of money if i am spending atleast $3500 just on the engine. do you know about how much install would be. i would attempt to do it in my auto shop class at school(yes i am still in high school-3 more weeks) but i dont want to mess it up, i want it done right.
thanks

the kframe is the big cradel under the motor/trans that holds it in there, the lower control arms connect to it. No you can't use your downpipe from your d17, the cat for the rsx is right after the exhaust manifold. I trust in hasport for mounts there might be another company that makes them but i don't know who. And i have no idea how much labor will be, me and my friend did mine.

DIY represent!

Why would you need a shop to do it? Its the best way to learn about your car. Dont have the tools? You can rent most of the big stuff you need (i.e.-cherry picker, etc...), and if you are gonna call yourself a true enthusiest, you should have a good set of tools anyways. Scared you are gonna brake something? Thats half the fun Dont have the time? You have time to sleep right? Thats the time you could be spending working on the car. Its always fun working all night with a buddy on a car with good music and a case of beer. Thats the American dream right there.

Operation: S.w.a.p.

what a long list of discussion! took me 20 min to read through it all. ok, i just bought for $5300, a 2003 K20A JDM spec engine and trans. took me 4 hrs just to get the left and right engine brackets inplace. its me and my good friend whos a honda tech at a honda dealer so he knows these cars well. the engine i have came with the engine trans and 4 HUGE rotors with calipers, brake lines and knuckles... of course, an uncut engine harness and ecu. up to this point i have spent close to $11,000. the list is: sparco torino2 seats, injen intake, new valve covers, skunk2 coilovers, vtec2 controller, pioneer AVIC-N1 dvd/navi unit, aem power pulleys, EXEDY stage 2 clutch and 9lb flywheel, plastic radiator, aem fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator, and other stuff that i cant think of, (o yeh and hasport motor mounts... brian who did the swap there on their 4 dr civic is very helpful), $900 in acura dealer parts (clutch master, shift linkage) o wait forgot to tell you the civic was AUTOMATIC!!! yikes. its a 2002 honda civic ex coupe that i ripped out the backseat and did $4k in audio work... fiberglass, 4 10's ps2 the works... so its a 2 seater now... my email address is 'allhondaparts@aol.com' i sell honda parts cheaper than retail at the dealerships.... im wondering if these 4 heavy brake assemblies will bolt on or not.... what about the dash harness, do i just plug it in, it seems to be the same type of plug, BUT, do the wires match up, and if not does anyone have the wiring tech sheets for it? where do i buy brake pads for this thing????

thanks,

i want to do it myself but after june 17th i wont have access to a lift until until september. i graduate and my auto shop teacher wont be there all summer but he said i can come back anytime next year and use any tool i need. i have plenty of tools at home, my dad loves them but i dont have a lift.
i might have a friend who works at a shop who may be able to help. her car stays there weeks at a time so that may work. Anyways though ill get it done.
tonight a civic coupe told his friends he smoked me because he past me at about 80 when i was going 60 all on a 40mph road. I didnt know we were racing but he claims he "smoked" me. I want to be able to talk shit to him and be able to back it. Im not sure if i could beat him because i dont know what hes running under the hood but it wasnt that fast. Hes just a prick and i want to beat him where it counts. If anyone knows a black 2 door civic im mission viejo ca, area other than nester let me know.
oh and what is up with subaru's always wanting to race me. my life sux someone give 10 grand. peace

its the same size motor, just has a bunch of goodies in it, IE: lsd, better cams, better intake mani, better ecu tune. So to answer your question yes it will fit, i stated the k20a in my first post too....

Do the Civic gages work properly?Do they give you the right numbers(with the k20a)? When you say doner car, you mean one that has been scrapped and is at the junk yard?

the civic gauges work fine. Everything they receive is from the RSX ecu so it's acurate.

My donor car was at a junkyard, i had it flatbedded to my friends shop and we proceeded to take everything off of it. Once we raped it it was sent back to another junkyard from then i presume they crushed it, cause everything that was usable we took off of it.

make sure theres light or no damage to the front of the car, you don't want to have to replace stuff on the motor, or find out later theres a leak or something.
