D17 -> K20 swap parts list

[joe7987]

Here's a parts list for all 7th gen owners who'd like to swap out their D17 and swap in the K20. This is for K20A2 or K20A3. This same list may apply for other K engines.. but I'm not positive. Feel free to correct me as you see fit. I believe I got this from 7thgencivic.com but I'm not entirely sure.


- K20A2 or K20A3 (from Civic Si) Engine With:
- AC compressor
- alternator
- P/S pump or idler pulley (from Civic Si)
- wiring harness
- exhaust manifold
- keep civic cat and modify midpipe

- ECU
- Disabler
- Transmission and starter
- intermediate shaft
- Axles from either 02 Civic Si or 94 up Integra GSR or RSX with RSX knuckles and hubs
- RSX or 02 Civic Si subframe
- Hasport ESK1 bolt in mount kit - $600
- Hasport ESKWH conversion wiring harness
- RSX shifter assembly and cables
- 02 Civic Si radiator and fans (although the RSX will fit with some trimming around the radiator cap opening in the grill)
- 02 Civic Si upper and lower radiator hoses (RSX are longer and may kink)
- RSX throttle cable
- RSX fuel line, brake booster line and purge line
- RSX AC line from compressor to condensor
- RSX clutch lines from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder
- Custom AC line from compressor to evaporator (Hasport should have one available by April)
- 90 Accord negative battery cable

- If you want powersteering:
- RSX high pressure powersteering hose and return line
- 92 Civic P/S resevoir w/ bracket and a section of hydraulic hose to go from the pump to the resevoir

5 Grand ain't to bad... You can pay 3 grand for a turbo set up (a good one) and only get to where a k20a2 is. I'm looking to swap next spring and then Turbo the following spring. Thanks for the info on the swap Joe... Do you or anyone know any good sites to buy engines? Or good places?

hey joe can i follow this list on doing the k20a type-r swap into my 05 em2?

 

[joe7987]

I believe so. There may be a few minute small differences, but overall, I believe that all of those parts will work. If not, it should only take light modification to make it work.

[joe7987]

Unstuck. It was unstuck for a reason.

There were too many stickies, so the "Important 7th gen links" thread was created. Links to all previously stickied threads are listed there, this one included.
