So I did it, I bought a K20A. Its a JDM Used 220 hp K20A DC5 Integra Type R ITR with 6 speed tranny. And I know some of you will be like "pff wish I had that kinda money" but I saved up for a car since high school and had about 11k, and then on May 16, 2006 I bought my 1994 Civic DX Coupe for $5,300. So I had the left over money to buy the engine with. I got the K20 from a autoparts/junk yard in Kelowna BC for $3,400 CAD with ecu, axles, uncut wire harness, and both manifolds. They pulled it out of a car about 3 weeks ago, it has 26,000 km on it. Its had both tests and I got 2 diff mechanics to look at it (one being my friends brother) and they said it was perfect, just the header is dented a bit.

Most of my swap parts I think are gunna come from Hybrid Racing, they make sum good stuff (6 speed gear box, mounts, shift linkage). I'm gunna do the swap my self and see how much I can get for my D15B7 with 150,000km on it. As I only looked at an engine the day I bought my car, and have only done bolt ons since then, it will be hard but I have lots of time to read up on it and such.

So its in the mail now, sould get to Victoria in a few days, this part sucks, I go to Helicopter Pilot school in the east and wont get to see the engine untill May!!!!

 

untill may!! that does suck..buts its pretty sweet that your getting it, and i think thats a great price, i was looking around and they were way more expensive then that..and with only 26k on it!! its brand new, im looking really forward to see how this project goes..good luck!

 

Ya since I'm doing it alone, I will update you guys for sure.

 

K20 are super awesome dude keep us updated please!

 

i heard it really isn't any more difficult than a b series swap just a few extra things w' the fuel lines, brake lines, and the shift cables. but good luck man.

 

I would love do do that swap, good luck with it.

 

congratulations.

 

There are not too many cars out there with K20 swaps. I like this though.......youre swapping but being very original. Hey imagine boosting that thing? Safe boost (like 6 lbs) and a good tune....man youd have a rocket ship.

 

bah there taking more than that on stock internals on a good tune. local shop here has one in a crx............60-1 t3 at 18lbs still holding strong.
