Whoa, Relax man...take a breather. Rome wasn't built in a day you know. Take some time to look over the forums, do some research and gain some knowledge before you jump into things. There are a lot of people on this site that have done some amazing things with their vehicles and there are many of options out there for you. So pull up a chair, kick back, take a look around, then when you figure out what it is you want to do, check back and get some opinions.

I thank u very much for this info, But i need to make sure about wat i need. It seems like u know about this stuff so is this wat i need?










Parts needed:
-Complete k20/k24 motor changeover
-intermediate shaft
-O2sensor for the same type of motor
-subframe from a rsx or 02+si (ep3)
-Hasport Mount Kit.. (other companies make em to) (make sure you get engine specific mount)
-Hasport Wire Harness Conversion (I wont be using this, i will attempt to wire it myself)

-Parts needed from an RSX:
-shifter cables
-headers and downpipe
-throttle cable (you can use a 92-95 single cam civic cable, much cheaper and easier to find)
-clutch lines from master to slave cylinder
-high pressure power steering hose
-power steering return line

Parts needed from an 02+ civic si:
-ac line from compressor to condenser (if you want ac)
-axles (base RSX axles will work to. NON type S)
-radiator and fans (RSX will fit but need trimming, not very much i might add)
-upper and lower radiator hoses

Other stuff you will need:
-custom ac line from compressor to condensor (again if you want ac)
-92-95 power steering resevoir with bracket (they do sell aftermarket ones which work just as good, especially if you want looks too)

Heres from one of our sticky's on the forum

Here is the pricing of the parts i paid for everything. All these parts were new from the dealer unless otherwise stated that i got it from the junkyard

k20 intermediate shaft.................$220
Axles from 02+ si.........................$100 from junkyard
RSX Subframe............................$600(quoted from acura) $150 from junkyard
Hasport Mounts............................................ .$400
Shifter Assembly.......................................... ...$100
Shifter Cables............................................ ....$300
02+ si radiator. i used the rsx radiator.................$150 (TYC brand)
fans.............................................. .................$30 universal fan from autozone
02+ si upper radiator hose..................................$13
02+ si lower radiator hose...................................$11
RSX Throttle cable............................................. $40
RSX Fuel Line.............................................. ......$45
RSX Brake booster line........................................$45
RSX Purge Line.............................................. .....$40
02+ si ac line from compressor to condensor............$100
RSX Clutch Line From slave to master.....................$20 from junkyard
RSX high pressure power steering hose...................$240
RSX Power steering return line...............................$50
92-95 Civic Power steering resevoir with bracket.......$50

Optional Stuff:
Hondata........................................... ................about $900
Hasport/Hybrid Racing Engine Harness....................about $300**
(complete new harness)

**they do offer a core exchange for a different price. if i remember correctly i think it comes to $150 with core exchange. But to be safe just call and ask.

So the grand total not including the motor on just the parts needed list for the swap comes out to roughly around $3754. Plus lets say 4% tax then that comes out to roughly 3900... give or take...

Just remember that this does not include the motor... i have seen complete motors that go for as low as $2000 for the SI to as much as $5000 or more for the JDM type R...

So now when you add everything that brings it up to roughly
$5900 or possibly lower to as much as $8900 or more

Also remember that you will not need to buy everything on the list if you have read my DIY... Basically you dont need the following
Shifter assembly
Fuel Line
Purge Line
Brake Booster Line

.. thats saving you at least $130.. if you can find a 92-95 civic single cam throttle cable that would save you a few more bucks

--------------------------------------

Short summary of pricing (gonna be a little generous on pricing a bit)
K20 swap = $5000 - $9000

And im goin for the Sleeper look.

oh no. and another one. usually when a 17 year old says "im gonna drop xxx amount in my civic" he probably: 1) doesnt have 10 grand and 2) doesnt know anything about cars. lol. good luck with your project. oh and kswap = reliable and expensive boosted sohc=cheaper and less reliable. thats pretty much the gist of it. and if you blow your sohc like i did you can buy another sohc for like 400 bucks. a bone stock kswap and a boosted sohc will probably be close to the same power level. k20 has 10 times more potential than the sohc turbo. with just bolt ons and good kpro tune on the k20, your car should be able to dip mid 13s no problem.
