Yes, you can make it fit, with a lot of custom work. You will need to use a k-series transmission, you won't use your current one. I'm pretty sure you could still turbo it, but I'm not 100% sure. FYI the swap will probably cost more than your car is worth.

You could but like the poster before me said its going to cost you.

But Ive read about the power those things can make I even saw Hasport did a swap into an EK Hatch.

Claim to fame? estimated 456 hp.

Oh they already sell the mount kits. www.hasport.com

even with the mount kit, you still need to do a bunch of fabrication, and buy axles, header, and a shifter assembly etc. then get a k-pro ecu and a lot of other stuff

You can do a K-series swap, but like everyone said its going to cost mega bucks. So unless you just want to be different or have some money to spend it would be better to do a b-series. With the money and time you save you could do alot more to it. I have a 96 with a b18c1 install and turbo was pretty straight forward. But a k-series turbo would be really bad a**.

what is guess price for install on k20 .. cuz if anyone looks at my Soon Coming parts i am already over 5k which is more than my 99 civic hatch was worth.. that is for a proper and well done B18C1 install.. also used the Avid motor mounts which come with the 2 needed brackets that hasport sells seperately.. hasport vs avid mounts + shift linkage a difference of about 400 bucks alone.

The b-series swaps are a straight bolt in with the mounts you are talking about. A k-series is going to take mounts and some custom work. Not to mention all parts are newer and harder to get more expensive. Best guess is around 2000 more but just a guess.
