K Swap started, but not in a EM
 
My fiancee drives a EG1, it has served her 2 years, but the motor is starting to have problems. What sucks is that she just got a paint job on the car, and she doesn't have time to sit here and keep the car for us to look at it, so instead, we are just going to do a 5sp conversion and a k swap

when she first got the car and put wheels on

it's funny, she get called out on races all the time in her lowly d15. but hopefully, that will change soon.

New Engine:
K20Z1
2 liter
201bhp@7600rpm
140lb/ft@7000rpm
8100rpm redline
11:1 compression
close ratio 6spd
$too much money

Misc parts we ordered so far...
Avid Motormounts
HR Conversion Harness
HR Radiator Hose Insert
HR Fuel Line Kit
HR Clutch Line Kit
Karcepts Shifter Mount Kit
Karcepts Radiator Relocation Kit
AEM Swap Intake
DC Swap Race Header
Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator
BDL Fuel Line
PDQ Upper Radiator Hose
HR Lower Radiator Line
S2000 OEM Shift Knob
Buddy Club RSX Shortshifter

we are going to put together our own axles using the 89 accord. we still have to source out a 02-04 ecu and do a hondata since the 05-06 isn't compatible with the swap yet. our goal is 225hp in her sol for daily driving, she doesn't need too much power.. yet

hr might be hooking us up with a prototype dual core radiator, but i need to talk to them more.

Pics once everything starts to arrive

humm ive been waiting for someone on here to do something like this

mugenman 09-30-2006 10:35 AM

wow looks really good, good luck with the swap and also are those the jdm one peice headlights?

TheSmuggler 09-30-2006 10:55 AM

K20z1? Yeesh lol, hope you bought all the right electronics. Also, close ratio 6 speed? the z1 has the same transmission as the ITR minus the LSD. How much more close ratio do you want :lol:

i believe i got all of them, as far as i know, a k20z1 requires a kpro'd 02-04 rbc ecu, and a o2 sensor from the 02-04 rsx. i don't think we are missing anything else

that sounds about right

Voiceofid 10-03-2006 02:41 PM

we are sourcing out the rbc ecu and o2 from k20tuned.com, hondata is asking too much for a brand new ecu and honda wants too much for a o2 sensor :(

how much is too much for an 02 sensor? Can't you go with Denso OE replacement?

TheSmuggler 10-03-2006 06:20 PM

They wanted around 120 last time I checked.

Voiceofid 10-03-2006 08:44 PM

i am getting one used now for pretty cheap. i think it's more than 120 because it's a true wide band o2 sensor

but, a bunch of parts came in.
so yeah, motor didn't show up, talked to the motor supplier and he promised me thursday morning O_O

but a buncha parts came in today... so, enjoy the pics

i didn't take someo f the pics of the other parts because it's at the shop, but.. you get the idea.

better to screw around with an older car than your daily driver..... good choice. It will be a sweet project.

LoneWolf 11-04-2006 12:58 AM

cool idea. post some pics as you do it.


btw do you think that a k20 would fit in a cb7?

supermex 11-04-2006 07:22 AM
