Re: Engine Converstion

nothing will go "right in." you're going to have to get mounts, harnesses, and various other parts for any engine swap to work correctly.

K20z3. Friend of mine has Civic just like yours with that engine, completely gutted. Very quick. Also...very, very loud.
He loved it (someone crashed into him, sux). From what I've heard it may take some work because of the transmissino set-up?

Let us know what you chose!

you would use your stock harness, jsut different ecu and such, the engine should still come with a harness tho just in case something breaks, B18c1 or c5? mounts, go aftermarket not stock
