Engine Swap 02 EX

[Onigumo]

I have been looking around a bit and it seems like the RSX swap is the only swap that can be done. Since the cost of the engine and parts is a bit cheaper is there any B series swap out there that can be done/?

B16, B18

I had a 2k Si and I am really not impressed with this 1.7 Sohc i mean i had to open the hood to make sure it was VTEC.

Any way I currently have a 2002 Civic EX cp any help would be great. Thanks/

Since you have 02 model, yes K series swap would be only option.

Can anyone give me a turn key amount for the engine swap options it seems there is a few K series options I can go with.

Thanks Alot

cores are going for about 5-6k from what little research my broke ass has done. But from what I understand a K20 swap involves quite a bit of mods. That's about the extent of my knowledge.

 

[got_sake?]

by the way....what did you expect out to a stock single slammer anyway? VTEC on a SOHC application in stock form has never snapped any necks, but you can make it fast. Keep the faith, and some such other sheeeit. Lata hommie.

That's actually around what a turnkey swap should go for, minus labor.

Go to http://www.hmotors.com or maybe it's http://www.hmotorsonline.com. I can't remember the exact URL, but it should be one of those 2.

wurd

I say forget a swap and just boost it.. it would be cheaper than a swap and still decently quick..

I like the turbo idea seems a bit cheaper how is that Dezod kit? Looks like everything is good quality.
Any feed back on that kit/

that turbo kit doesnt look so reliable/worth it, plus you'd need to still buy hoses and clamps like the site said....

He HAD an Si. Now he has a different car, newer, but a lower model. He's trying to say he misses his Si cause the 1.7 in the lower model is weak compared to the B16A2.

If you really want a swap, get the A2. With I/RH/E/Hondata you'll be around 200whp. Sure, the cost is higher in the end, but you'll have many more options than a turbocharged D17. Check out this thread : http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141122 to learn more about the actual process of swapping into a 7thgen. I do not regret anything about my swaps, and would do them again!

best turbokit for the d17... SF hands down. only con is that their customer service is laggy and not so presentable.

possible swaps for the em2 (2001+ civic coupes)
-k20a2 (rsx-s)
-k20a3 (civic si 02+/base rsx)

never heard of anyone doing the k24 block but i read in a tuner mag that the k24 head flows much better than the k20's. swaps are way too exspensive imo, mostly for a K block since their pretty new. i would expect around the 5-7k range for a complete swap (assuming k20a2 that is). if you just want more kick out of the d17, i would invest into some boost since bolt-ons dont give us much juice. check out www.7thgencivic.com they have a turbo/swap forum their based on the 7thgen civic.

K20 is the way to go or you can also do a turbo on the sohc http://www.truehonda.com/inventory.php?action=showsub&id=1 deppending on you wallet..
