I use a 2003 Accord ECU ... so this one doesn't have a drive by wire throtle. I already pin the wire in the C101 plug and the o2 sensor wiring is the same way as I did last year with my k20a2 ...

For the reflash I have the Accord key and transponder, so I didn't need to reflash it ...

I'm not a newbie with the wiring and I know what I should do... I only ask about the 31 E pin. This seen to be the only trouble I see after everything else was wire. If I can't have the OEM MIL.... We just buy a cheap code scanner for 150$....less expensive than a KPro.

so it seems you know what you are doing.. so if this is the case then why are you asking how to do the swap???

I don't asking how to do the swap... I asked if someone ever do it with the stock k24 ECU
:P

that part list on hasport, it says for k20a2/3. are those the same parts for k24a2/k20head or are there additional/less parts required?

as far as a stock block all the swap parts are the same except the passenger side mount. you need to modify it or call them to see if they have come out with a k24 mount kit cause last time i talked to them it was in the works. also you will need to use a k20 thermostat housing and hard line cause the k24 housing is mounted at a different angle. oh and depending on what header you will be running, your front sway bar probably wont fit. good luck

I wonder if all the work that is done on the swap it might be more effective to just buy a used RSX-S.

Is it truly that much better or more fun to have all of the RSX parts on a Civic? I am attracted to the idea for sure-but it just seems like a helluva long way to go to get what may end up costing as much as a used RSX-S.

I'm including the cost of the Civic-mine was 15,200 new. Add $3000 or so for the motor, another $1,000 for mounts, radiator, re-flash of ECU, plus at least $500.00 for labor. Couldn't you get an RSX S for $19,500?

Is it the mystique of having a "sleeper"? Let me know.

well put think about this, if you had an rsx would you do the same things to it to make it bigger and better? I do not know if engine swaps are the thing to do for an rsx but... you would just end up spendin more money on that. IMO of course correct me if i am wrong

I don't know. Perhaps I would try to make the RSX-S better. Who knows?

I don't have the money to do either so I'm probably just jealous of people who spend that much on it in the first place.

Logically thought it seems like you'd just buy the faster car first rather than the economy car-like my 2003 Civic EX. Whopping 1.7 liters of displacement.

It seems like the better platform would be the RSX-S but then again we are in the 7thgencivic forum

I'd love to own just a decently powered autocross car with some great suspension, wheels, and tires. I'm itching to get some track time-going to the mid ohio event this weekend to check out the TSXs and the open tuner class races. It should be a blast.

Peace to all,
Dwight

Before anyone starts flaming, I read through all 17 pages and didn't see this answered. I have a 2004 civic EX, but it's automatic(I know, I know). I've come to the decision I need a K20A2 and was wondering how difficult would it be to change my civic over to manual transmission? What parts would I need? Would it be best to use the clutch and pedals from the donor RSX, Si, or the stock manual EM2? Thanks.

 
Rep Power: 255

**** man its alot of work.. I did it. You need a clutch pedal and a new brake pedal along with clutch master cylinder and all the other **** for the swap as well.

k20s are expensive. can a H22 fit?

 
Rep Power: 292

^ with enough money you can make any motor fit... but you just said k20s are expensive so in your case... no it will not fit.

" This thread is about K Series Swaps! Not about how to make your D17 faster or what other kinds of motors can fit!"

let him try .. lol .. id love to see a h22 powered es1.. plus his car wouldnt pass any kind of emissions.. be illegal in most states...

the only motor that goes in 01 and up civic is the k series..

Does anyone know if a Jackson Racing supercharger will fit on the K20 still after it's been swapped into a Civic? This question has been plaguing me and I can't find an answer, no matter how much I search.

 
Rep Power: 292

Yes, it has been done... I believe they used a JRSC for an EP3. Look for TransformedBG's thread.

 
Rep Power: 255

Ahh, thanks for the input. I just talked to one of the SoCKS guys and he said it will bolt on as well, so that's exciting!
