Re: DIY: K20/K24 into 2001+ Civic **Updated 4/20/2008**

I've read this thread and a few others but I've still got a question.

Basically I have an ES1, and a chance to buy an RSX with a lot of body damage. Now if I wanted to swap both front and rear subframes complete w/all suspension (incl 5 lug swap/brakes, axles) could it be done?

I did search, and I know I can use the front subframe, which means the front suspension (along with the K20) will swap in, but the only info on the rear is that RSX lower control arms won't work with the Civic subframe, but if the DC5 rear subframe bolts in the control arms will too. I'd be grabbing as much of the interior as possible as well (seats, console, dash, gauges, etc.)

Anyone know if the DC5 rear subframe will bolt into an ES1 chassis?

I'll paypal $20 to whoever can answer this one, if it matters, the donor is an 05 RSX Type S and the recipient is a 2002 LX Sedan.

Not trying to jack the thread, but I have a EM2/Kswap header exhuast setup that has been proffessionally modified to fit, just bolt it on and go. This is a great part for you Kswappers that will save some time and $:

**note- this is for anyone.. im not on here everyday. So if you need help or something im on my site everyday XproductionZ.com :: Ver. 3.0 on the forums if you need it.

UPDATE 1/7/2007 (Slightly Updated)

**also note that the same thing applies to people who do the k24 swap. Just remember that if you use a k24 that the passenger side mount is different from the k20 passenger mount. If you already have a k20 in your car and wish to use a k24. Hasport and i think Hybrid can supply only the k24 passenger mount so that way it sits the motor lower so it can fit in our cars

**If you need a relay to do the the wire harness for the O2 sensor i can get those for you

Mods done to the car in the swap
Hondata
Type S manifold and Base TB.. (took out the dual intake runners)
Megan Race headers
Megan Race Downpipe
Custom 2.5 Piping
Megan Race Exhaust
Custom 3in Intake




and the Dyno




UPDATE 4/29/07 - Read Below

An RBC manifold on a K20 and/or K24 using Hasport mounts will fit the 01-05 chassis. Just did the swap yesterday. Took out the K20a and put in a K24.







However you will need to trim away at the upper radiator support area to make it fit. You have to trim about 3/4 an inch away just to make it clear.






Minor UPDATE 11/24/07:

For those of you who use a relay other than the type listed in the DIY. There are aftermarket relays but they all use a universal number to identify the pins..

Some of you might remember this image of the relay pins..


Heres is what each number stands for:

1 - 30
2 - 87
3 - 86
4 - 87a
5 - 85\




Just updated the write-up again... 4/20/08


added/modified the following
-rbc fitment issue
-explanation of k20 or k24 mounts
-more details on the o2 sensor wiring
-air conditioning installation
-shifter box comaprison
-and a little preface message
X, When Installing a K20, won't it be easier to remove the whole front radiator support ?
https://passwordjdm.com/images/Produ...rt%20Large.jpg

I've noticed you trimed the radiator to fit the manifold, now is there any shorter one that you can use without cutting the radiator, or a aftermarket rad that is thiner ?.

You have one of the best DIY on the net, too bad you don't have a hi-def how-to DVD on k20 swap. I would buy it for sure.

No it is not necessary to remove the radiator support.

He trimmed the radiator support area to fit an RBC (06&up SI/euro accord)manifold. The K20a2/Z1 comes with the PRB (rsx type s/civic si) manifold which will fit without trimming. The PRC (integra type R) will also fit without trimming
