for that that have done the k20a2 or a3 swap

what parts were and wernt needed according to hasports website?
Parts Needed
- K20A2 or K20A3 (from Civic Si) Engine With:
- AC compressor
- alternator
- P/S pump or idler pulley (from Civic Si)
- wiring harness
- exhaust manifold and catalytic converter

- ECU
- Transmission and starter
- intermediate shaft
- Axles from either 02 Civic Si or 94 up Integra GSR (we used 02 RSX with RSX knuckles and hubs)
- RSX or 02 Civic Si subframe
- Hasport ESK1 bolt in mount kit (as of this time the kit will not work with the K24)
- Hasport ESKWH conversion wiring harness
- RSX shifter assembly and cables
- 02 Civic Si radiator and fans (although the RSX will fit with some trimming around the radiator cap opening in the grill)
- 02 Civic Si upper and lower radiator hoses (RSX are longer and may kink)
- RSX throttle cable
- RSX fuel line, brake booster line and purge line
- RSX AC line from compressor to condensor
- RSX clutch lines from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder
- Custom AC line from compressor to evaporator (Hasport should have one available by April)
- 90 Accord negative battery cable

- If you want powersteering:
- RSX high pressure powersteering hose and return line
- 92 Civic P/S resevoir w/ bracket and a section of hydraulic hose to go from the pump to the resevoir

were any other parts needed? any easier ways of doing some areas than using all the parts it says? im also just putting in the k20a3 so besides intake mani (putting type s on) anything i would or wouldnt need that is on the list? has anyone put the k20a3 in a coupe yet?
thanks
chris

Sounds about right! Some things you can do yourself or replace with aftermarket parts. Only thing that is not listed off the top of my head that will help out, is if you do the 5 lug rear conversion you will need the e-brake line. If you don't get it, you will have to make a new adapter, since the rear is a lot bigger then the stock civic one.
