K20A Swap in progress Up until about 2 weeks ago I was running a D17A2 (turbo) motor. Today I got my new motor an Integra Type R Swap K20A (and today I also got my buddies K20A3, busy *** day) we were able to put the whole thing in within 6 hours. All we have left to do is the radiator, hoses and a few little odds and ends. I added a few pictures of the swap. The first one is right after I got the motor; the second is of dropping the sub frame down. The third is comparing the Civic Sub frame with the Integra/RSX Sub frame. The fourth and fifth are of the motor in its new home. What do you guys think?

Rep Power: 0 Nice work, good idea with the comparison picture. If you can post up a video of the car in action after it is complete. Are you going to be buy the hasport wiring harness or doing it all yourself?

If I win the lottery I will either go crazy on my civic with K20/turbo/kit/suspersion/everything or...
but a tc and boost it to at least 300 horses.
only flaw is i need to start playing the lottery.

Rep Power: 295 well even if he went with the 04-05 axles or rsx axles he can still keep the 4 lug...the lug pattern like i said before depends on your brakes(sort of) and u can keep it 4 lug for whatever swap u do...i would just get a wrecked rsx and do the swap from that everything from rims to 5 lug, struts, engine, seats...etc...the spindle where the axle is connected to has nothing to do with the bolt pattern

yes, why'd you decide to switch? I assume you'll be losing power and torque now, unless your doing that motor up? was the turbo d17 just a waste of time and money to you?
