Well the title kinda says it all. my question is has anyone here actually done that? I know the speed sensors need a little work but how much more difficult is it than a full A2 swap? Im hoping to be done within a few months

Not that hard. They bolt up the same and people have used those transmissions in RSX's so they should easily fit in the EM2.

been done a million times. it would be the same as putting it in an RSX.

the only thing your iwll need extra is the speed sensor converter box from hybrid.

^^^ok cool, I figured something extra had to be done about that... im in the middle of buying all the needed swap parts listed on xproductionz and I cant wait to get it all done.
especially switching from an auto.
thanks

Em2dreamer

this is prolly a dumb/noob/repeat question but anyhow I wanna know regarding going from auto to stick..
i know im gonna need---

transmission
ECU
Shifter with cables
master cylinder
Slave Cylinder
manual transmission speed sensor
starter
Axles
clutch pedal assembly
Flywheel
sub frame/lower engine cradle
transmission motor mount Rear and Left
clutch
dash harness
engine harness

(the ones in bold is what im curious about)

Do I need to look for Z1 parts only?? and should those come with the tranny??

those will come with ur tranny that you're buying with the k20.. hopefully that is. starter comes with ur motor, the flywheel will be in ur k20 tranny

that's who i bought my pedals from and also my slave cylinder

i think i'm getting confused with the slave and master cylinder for the clutch.

the slave cylinder is the one on teh tranny i believe, that one comes with ur tranny.

the master one is up top of hte engine bay that holds ur fluid and etc. (this is the one u need from the 01-05 civic)

this is the master cylinder that tyou need off the 01-05 civic along with the reservoir. you will also need the hard line that connect from this to the clutch line coming from the tranny +slave cylinder (comes with ur k20 tranny)

it would work but k20 has been done many times and imo is too common on em2s. why not do a b18 swap? it will require more fab work but it hasnt been played out and is still unique.

b18 are illegal swaps if the motor is not the same year or newer.

played out? b18s are old news and don't have the potential that the K has.

My friend has a fully built ls vtec motor that he built, he put down 224whp.

I have a k20a2 i/rh/e/cams/kpro and I put down 242whp.

There's no point, in my opinion of course, to put something in that is inferior just to be different.

In the end you'll still end up with a unique b18 swap that is no where near the k20 or k24. Also, you'll probably be swapping in a motor that has HIGH milleage on it.



I'm getting off topic here, but either help the guy, or don't post.

hmm didnt know that. my bad, good thing i dont do swaps
i was just saying that id like to see something new. k swap has been done a million times. not saying i dont like k swaps. but your right, im not helping this guy with his question, just thought id spill my 2 cents. my bad

Em2dreamer

thanks again.. i checked Majestic Honda and they have it for 86.87 so imma grab it from there, as far as the reservoir goes ill look for that too, but the help was much appriciated.
(the pedals too cuz the junkyard here is sellin the clutch pedal for $50 ALONE!)

all good, if you did want to see a b18 swap onto a 7thgen...there is one guy doing it on honda-tech. he lives in canada or somewhere i forgot that doesn't care about emission and motor swaps so i guess it's perfectly legal for him. check it out on honda-tech
