well in my case it was my stubborness in not getting the conversion harness. That's what delayed the car about 4 months.

uhm,..no im not flaming u, just passing on knowledgeable info, the k20z1 is off a 05' rsx type s, the other k20z model if off a 06 civic si, which is k20z3 which is less HP from the z1, right now the z1 is the most Hp'd k20 besides the type R, the
k20z1=210hp
k20z3=197hp
k20a2(typeR)=220hp
correct me if i'm wrong on those but yea, thats what i know, btw back to topic, my k20z1 swap took about 4 months, it wouldve been quicker but issues would come up and i'll have to buy more parts

...Yeah, I thought that was wrong, but I didn't trust my memory enough to contradict that posting. Don't worry, I didn't take it as flaming.

I thought the k20a was only called that because the Type-R hadn't come out in production, therefore not having an engine-stamp, and the "a" was just a subtitute till more information came about?

Again, I'm probably wrong.

Stopped by the shop Tuesday evening and now I'm starting to get excited. I feel like a kid before Christmas.


The radiator and cooling fans are in. All of the engine work and plumbings work is done except a few little minor things...like the clamps on the intercooler, Type R valve cover, IVTEC cover, blow off valve ect.


Henry was finishing up on the 3 inch exhaust. It was a slip fit set up. Since the Vic seems to have a little longer wheel base than the RSX by about 3 inches...he had to weld that section together in the second pic. When I was there he was finishing up making the tip longer in the last pic.


Henry is going to tow the Vic tomorrow to the dealer to have the imobilizer flashed. I hope it fires up with no issues. Then he's going to do some tuning to get it running right, reinstall the front bumper to fit with the intercooler and some interior items.


Here are some more pics. I have to go out of town to work. I will not be back until Monday. I'm pretty sure it will be drivable by then and I'll post some more pics. I call Henry tomorrow to make sure he saves some dyno sheets.

I have an old Ford 93 Ford Aerostar. I bought it mainly to haul my DJ Equipment when I have to do a gig or just for a back up vehicle. But since the AC went out I have been using my Mom's Civic or my Dad's Odyssey.

I don't have a videos camera yet. I'm going to see if I can borrow my friend's videos camera. If I have enough funds after this project I will just buy one.




I want to say thanks guys for the positive comments. Wow swaps are ranging 3 to 6 months to complete. Now I don't feel so bad about this swap taking so long. Thanks again.

hmmm neat, I did not know that there was even an integra type S. This lower hp K20a is also found in a couple of other JDM models as well.
