OK so since a B- series engine wont fit because of the mounting problem what about the H22A and if not how much work is there involved in swaping out the d17a1 for a k20. I'd also like to know if you could get just as much HP out of the a2 version of the d17 motor as if i were to put in a k20 or at least close to it?

K20a2 swap would be easy... hp wise the K20 will already be over 2x the power of your d17... it would take ALOT to get the d to be near a k... I just watched PINKS! on speed channel and they had a k20 in a civic that claimed to be pushing over 400hp without spray!

ok ive decided to put in a k20 now which was the one i could put the turbo on it was the A3 wasnt it so as far as the swap goes what else am i going to need besides the motor and the tranny and the ecu and i know there was a thing somewhere that said it but i cant seem to find it again

im just learning about it myself. i think you forgot mounts but i dont know if you need that for that car and engine. best of luck to you, you are one lucky man if you get that K series in your civic....
