K20A Swap in progress
 

Up until about 2 weeks ago I was running a D17A2 (turbo) motor. Today I got my new motor an Integra Type R Swap K20A (and today I also got my buddies K20A3, busy ass day) we were able to put the whole thing in within 6 hours. All we have left to do is the radiator, hoses and a few little odds and ends. I added a few pictures of the swap. The first one is right after I got the motor; the second is of dropping the sub frame down. The third is comparing the Civic Sub frame with the Integra/RSX Sub frame. The fourth and fifth are of the motor in its new home. What do you guys think?

Nice work, good idea with the comparison picture. If you can post up a video of the car in action after it is complete. Are you going to be buy the hasport wiring harness or doing it all yourself?

dude ure car is gonna be a beast! great work...how much this all costing you, lets say if i wanted to do the same :tongue: ?

awesome u beat me to it, i just dont have that kinda money right now , props yo!! keep it up.

God damn... I hate you :eek:

^^ what he said in triple bastard loll..
Good work buddy :)

good stuff!

Lucky...............

nice work.

damn very nice, i want mine so bad!!!

but i want a k20a2

If I win the lottery I will either go crazy on my civic with K20/turbo/kit/suspersion/everything or...
but a tc and boost it to at least 300 horses.
only flaw is i need to start playing the lottery.

hey then again if i take over my dads business like he offered ill be able to buy a civic and K20 swap in about a months pay! woot woot. LOL computer engineering degree to become an insurance agent.

Nice! Are you keeping the 4-lug pattern?

Yeah i am going with 02-03 Si axles.

well even if he went with the 04-05 axles or rsx axles he can still keep the 4 lug...the lug pattern like i said before depends on your brakes(sort of) and u can keep it 4 lug for whatever swap u do...i would just get a wrecked rsx and do the swap from that everything from rims to 5 lug, struts, engine, seats...etc...the spindle where the axle is connected to has nothing to do with the bolt pattern

I guess im helping with this swap in a way by buying your old vtec head lol.
Good choice motor for the swap man

2 reasons why i'm jealous
1 the k20a of course
and 2 you have a hydrolic lift.
props :clap:

Sorry to say i don't have a lift. the car is just on jack stands.

good sh1t :_bow: ...but

what made u go from a turbo d17 to a k20a??....realiablity?? maintenance??

just wondering...

hey will that K20A swap work with a 01 civic ex
I'll also need the rsx tranny for it also right

serch man....you need the full swap (wire harness, axels, tranny, ecu, mounts ect)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummiii! whats next

DAMN that car is high off the ground with just jack stands how did you get it that high?

yes, why'd you decide to switch? I assume you'll be losing power and torque now, unless your doing that motor up? was the turbo d17 just a waste of time and money to you?

oh iam so jealous

losing power. This has 220bhp stock, i am going to put a few things on now, intake exhaust, header. later i want to do a new clutch and a 8lb flywheel. Otherwise i wanted something i don't have to worry about blowing up. maybe one day, low comp pistons, built motor and a T3/T4 turbo.

I second that
:hithead:
