If you're serious about the K20 swap LOOK HERE
K20A Excellent Condition Auction on Ebay

The auction is closed now. We now have someone attempting the K20A2 swap into the 7th gen.

Yummy! You get everything you need too. I wonder who's going to be the first one with a K20C intheir 7th gen.? I'm thinking that maybe after I mod the hell out of my first civic I might sell it and get another one and star tagain from the ground up. By then I should have accumulated enough knowledge to do that sort of thing and do all the old tricks that I learned to do on this civic. Anyway, that's the plan.

Thats not the point. Everyone on here claims they can swap the damn engine, however its either hard as hell to find or priced so high its rediculous. Theres a K20C for around 6000 (same as a H22A swap around where I live), now look at the excuses that come up. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

my excuese is that i don't belive it will fit into my engine bay. and even if it could fit, i don't have 3 grand to spend on that right now. i'd spend it on some easy bolt on mods and save some for paying off my car. i just wish my job didn't suck so hard and i could get a better one.

haha this is amusing. but you can't just exactly blame all the people that want the swap for not having $6500 on hand. although it isn't that much. by the time you get it in I'm sure were looking at 10g though. hahaha new car for me. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

2k2civic should not be trusted2k2civic should not be trusted
For $6k, why wouldn't you just sell your civic and spent the additional $6k for another car that is already as fast? Ya, I know, it's the feeling of having a modded car, blah, blah, blah - but when it comes down to it, we don't even know if the damn engine will fit, so why not play it safe and go buy another car.

yeah, that **** is pretty dirty....
And if you look, the Acura symbol is missing from the top of the engine.
The two pics are really close up to the engine.
You think maybe he totaled his RSX, and is trying to sell the engine?

Either way, I posted this to show that no one is going to swap the K20 into their Civic anytime soon. SO LAY THE TOPIC TO REST! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
