K20A2 Swap
Looking at doing a K20A2 swap into my civic lx, along with the six spd tran. Can anyone tell me if this swap is a direct bolt or how much modification will I have to do to get it to work. Also can anyone give me a ballpark price for this? Just so people don't try to screw me over.

RE: K20A2 Swap
Well, the swap sure isn't going to be cheap. I'd put aside about $8,000 for the whole deal, which is probably aiming a bit high. The engine/tranny/ECU combo will run you at least $5,000 almost everywhere you look (Here's a link for you, but you could probably find it cheaper if you hunted around). I'm not really on the up and up with 7G swaps, but I found a nice write-up on another site and jacked the parts list off of that:
-----------------------------------------------
Parts needed:
Complete k20 motor changeover
intermediate shaft
O2sensor for the same type of motor
subframe from a rsx or 02+si
Hasport Mount Kit.. (other companies make em to)
Hasport Wire Harness Conversion (I wont be using this, i will attpemt to wire it myself)
Parts needed from an RSX:
shifter cables
headers and downpipe
throttle cable (you can use a 92-95 single cam civic cable, much cheaper and easier to find)
clutch lines from master to slave cylinder
high pressure power steering hose
power steering return line
Parts needed from an 02+ civic si:
ac line from compressor to condenser (if you want ac)
axles
radiator and fans (RSX will fit but need trimming, not very much i might add)
upper and lower radiator hoses
Other stuff you will need:
custom ac line from compressor to condensor (again if you want ac)
92-95 power steering resevoir with bracket (they do sell aftermarket ones which work just as good, especially if you want looks too)
Parts they say you need but dont need to get:
rsx shifter assembly (your stock one works fine)
fuel line
brake booster line
purge line
90 accord negative battery
custom hood latch
Another thing i want to add is this.. Make sure you get the correct o2 sensor for the type of motor you get. Yes the o2 sensor from the k20a3 and the k20a2 is different.
-----------------------------------------------------------
If you're interested, the write-up can be found here.
**Also, check out Sunrise JDM. The price for the K20A2 isn't listed, but I recommend you give them a call. They're cheaper than just about any other importer if you can't buy wholesale.
