Need help deciding an Engine Swap
Need help deciding an Engine Swap
Hey guys, I'm real new to the car scene as well as civic knowledge.
I just bought a 2003 Civic EX Coupe MTranny (EM2 i think)
I want more power out of it, the stock just isnt cutting it for me. So i'm wondering if its possible to drop in a k20 series engine without too much fuss, or if it would be better and stick with a b20 series.
Any knowledge would be phenomenal!
As a side note, would it be worthwhile to go with tein ss coilovers? i want to lower, but i want to keep a nice ride comfort (or is this impossible and im folling myself! haha. . .)
Eventually i was thinking a kaminari lip kit, but we'll see. Thanks again guys!

Well first you can find aton of posts on here about swaps just use the search botton!! K series is the ONLY swap we an get in our 7th gens, unless u have ALOT of $ and someone to do all of ur custom work, so ur idea of a b20 is gone, not only that b20s suck. anyway k swap. there are a ton of posts on everything u will need and there is a DIY post.. the main thins u will need are, motor, trani, shift linkage, mounts, sub frame, ECU, and there are quite a few other parts.. as for drop tein are good, i bought the megan racing full coilover suspention with 32 dampering ajustments for $800 and i love it.. but yah that shoud answer everything for you..
oh jeez another swap thread k20 into your awesome EM2 buddy thats what all the craze is about so go to www.hasport.com drool then look for money and good luck
