What should i do!!!!
 
Ok guys im in a bind.. What do you all think i should do? Not looking to go real fast but faster.. So should i keep my D17 and build it up or should i to a k20 swap,, and how much you think i could do the whole swap for???
Thanks guy

1. k20swap will be alot better than a build d17... (and less maintenance)
2. search......anywhere from 4-9k

tuner04civic 12-05-2006 01:02 AM

depends on a
1. k20a the japan motor 5k
2. k20a2 the rsx-s motor 3k
3. k20a3 civic si motor or stock rsx 1.5k

than add 1k for mounts and wiring harness
add another 1k for hondata for it to run corectly
add another 1k for install and tune
accessories to finish up the install 500

these are all estimates. and depends what yu get with the motor.

whatyou want to see if comes with the motor if not you will need.
- AC compressor
- alternator
- P/S pump or idler pulley (from Civic Si)
- wiring harness
- exhaust manifold
- keep civic cat and modify midpipe

- ECU
- Disabler
- Transmission and starter
- intermediate shaft
- Axles from either 02 Civic Si or 94 up Integra GSR or RSX with RSX knuckles and hubs
- RSX or 02 Civic Si subframe
- Hasport ESK1 bolt in mount kit
- Hasport ESKWH conversion wiring harness
- RSX shifter assembly and cables
- 02 Civic Si radiator and fans (although the RSX will fit with some trimming around the radiator cap opening in the grill)
- 02 Civic Si upper and lower radiator hoses (RSX are longer and may kink)
- RSX throttle cable
- RSX fuel line, brake booster line and purge line
- RSX AC line from compressor to condensor
- RSX clutch lines from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder
- Custom AC line from compressor to evaporator (Hasport should have one available by April)
- 90 Accord negative battery cable

- If you want powersteering:
- RSX high pressure powersteering hose and return line
- 92 Civic P/S resevoir w/ bracket and a section of hydraulic hose to go from the pump to the resevoir

So it'll cost about as much as my car huh

CenZ 12-05-2006 04:29 PM

on average a k20a2, overall cost about 6k

dru106 12-05-2006 04:38 PM

mines was just a little under $7k cuz you will run into some trouble here and there and a lot of misc stuff like hoses, clamps and fluids

your best bet would be to eat a delicious chili dog.




.....oh yeah, and use the search button. youll notice in the top bar there is a search feature. youd be amazed at what it can do seeing as to how there are about 356257247 topics regarding k swaps.

I would build a d17 and boost. but if i wanted to be like something unique i would K-swap.

Or im sure you could get a nice k20a3 swap in for about $$4000-$5000 including labor... (price may vary alot due to shop pircing.. IL has nice labor costs :) )

Everyone tells me that there is a shit load of maintance if you build a D17 is that true

mr.rowdy 12-05-2006 11:44 PM

Sounds like a good idea cause im not trying to go real fast just fast enough that when some ass comes up next to me I can either take them or give them a good run
Thanks

mr.rowdy 12-06-2006 11:24 PM

:-bs: you want to go fast and you know it. haha... You know, it really sounds like you should check out nitrous. Sounds like the perfect option for you- some ass pulls up.. activate it, boom- take off. Takes pretty well to an automatic if thats what you have. Anyways- there is a bunch of threads in the fourm for nitrous as well.


enjoy

I always say the best upgrade for a civic is an rsx type s.
