Hey does anyone know if this swap has been done? If it has been done all and any info on it would be great.
K20 in a 98 EX coupe anyone know if it has been done?

- Start date
yes its been done...you need a mouting kit for it to fit into your engine bay right, you need a new tranny, and I elieve you have to remove your a/c as well, but not 100% positve on the a/c ....I know to put a h22 in a civic you cant have a/c but dont totally remember about a k20 swap
Do a google search, bro! You know if it's been done it's on there.
Thanks for the link on the H22 swap. Area 51 has done the K20 swap but it really isnt worth wasting all of your bank robbery money on it. For the swap to been done everything in the engine bay has to be mirrored to the other side for example battery is currently on the left it would have to moved over to the right. I think I am just gonna get a b-series engine and work of that.
ya I knew that things had to be mirrored....If you wanted a H22 you should get a b18c5...its a ITR engine and will give you 195 hp to start with which is the same or 5 hp short of what the H22 would have given you and will be a whole lot easier to get in..good luck

Yea plus the price for the mount kit is 1100 dollars, that includes all the motor mounts and the conversion for the exhaust. Plus the 5800 for a rsx type r motor....... but having 220hp, 158 tq and i-vtec coud be worth it if you had the money
Yeah it would be pretty insane seeing a k20 in the civic....but the cost factor would be a problem HaHaHa the annual 5% Army raise just isnt cutting it. Trying to find the best suitable engine to swap in is turning out harder then it was to name my kids and I had twins. Any suggestions will be welcomed? Also LS/VTEC i have heard so many things is it crap or is it the s**t? My plans are to go turbo if that helps out with any suggestions
I dont know about a whole lot easier it is with all the cutting and loss of life's simple luxories but it is a bad ass swap....I do wanna say thanks for the help
not worth it too expensive and not enough power its better to get
a H22A it'll be quicker the k20 swap will cost around 10G's its only worth getting if you have a 01-04 civic

it costs about 4g's for a 01-04 civic
And that is a direct swap into a 98 Civic EX coupe?

sounds good........ check out hmotorsonline.com, that is where i got the specs for the motor i just showed you......they have every motor you could ever want and in my opinion it is the best place to buy a motor
k20 is a pretty hard swap
not a problem..thats what this site is here for....Ya, hondamotorsonline.com is nice place to get a full swap and a GSR motor is nice too..I just suggested the ITR because you were looking at the H22 and the ITR compares..but the GSR is nice motor...so now you got something to think about...If you want to N/A tune your car go the ITR or a B20...if want to turbo or supercharge your car, go GSR...my 2 centsOriginally posted by CivicVelox17

im with him, except he already said he wants to turbo in the future thats why i gave him the price and stuff for the b18c1
plus i heard that the ls/vtec is unreliable at best. I would go with waht these guys are sayin, and remember the B20 in a civic is illegal and it won't pass smog anywhere...
