I have an 02 civic ex auto and i was woundering if it was possible to make a k20 auto. Or would it be easier to convert my car to manual instead and have a regular k20 swap?

I've never heard of it done... Not to say it can't, but every K-swap I've seen has either been manual in the first place, or converted to manual.

if i did a manual conversion on a d17 i would need to get

shifer assembly, shifter lines, clutch/brake/gas pedals, clutch master cylinder, hardlines, and the actual tranny w/fly and clutch and new throwout bearing, ecu

do i need a new subframe also? is the top tranny mount located in the same area?

and for installation of the clucth pedal and mastercylinder
are the holes already making this a bolt on install or do i need to drill holes?

for the wiring harness, anything needed to be modified?

can the fly/clutch bolt onto the motor that was previously a automatic?

you will need to drill holes for the pedal assembly, there are are grooves in the uni-body that indicated where the pedal assembly is going to go. so it makes it a bit easier to do.

as for the master cylinder im not quite sure about that, but for the slave cylinder you will have to drill for that as well. im not sure if theres a groove for sure but most likely there is. all you have to do is drill and grind. its alot easier said than done.

i dont know about wiring harness, but if you dont use a manual ecu you have to so some cutting and splicing for the auto ecu to work correctly.

your manual tranny will bolt up fine to the egine including clutch and flywheel.

you can modify your subframe so that it supports the smaller manual tranny but if you dont know how to weld i would suggest getting the manual subframe.

if your looking for more power, it would be easier to boost instead of a k20 auto swap. youd make more power with less money.

man what happened to s2kman?

Well I for one would like to see this done. If you did a turbo auto and the trans was sent out to be beefed up. Think of the consistent times you could have.

 
Rep Power: 811

ya but think of all the $ you spend.

after seeing all these threads poping up....i'd like to see just one person or two do this....just to see

90% of all drag cars use some form of an automatic transmission, or clutchless sequencial transmission. Consistancy is no waste of money, it wins races more often than not. The stock k20 has proven to be durable enough to handle descent amounts of boost. I see great potential for a built turbo k20 bracket racer. If this dude wants to try an auto swap out, dont fault him for it. It may help some of us later on for a more serious build.
