K series in a EK1

[Edwardo]

HI guys, anyone ever had any experience in swaping a k series into an ek1?

are there any pittfalls with this approach? do power steering and a/c work?

[Q_ball]

I believe it can be done with AC and PS... but its much much easier without...
Youll find the majority of K swapped Hondas will not comprise of the 2.

Power steering and AC can be done with abit of custom work

[EK1.6LCIV]

Everything can be done, Ive seen alot of swaps keep the ps and ac, most choose not to tho as it's a cleaner look without it and saves a bit of money, when I was looking my budget for everything was in excess of $16.5k for it to be done legally, properly, safely without ps and ac

oh right thanks guys for the information :)

If you are to keep power steering you'll have to get your bonnet custom redone as you'll have a massive bulge lol

Power steering is easy. A/C is abit more tricky, but can be also installed.

Jsut finished my swap, Both P/S and A/C is installed and working...

Just had to cut a small section of the hood webbing for the power sterring outlet

i dunno bout other people, but i dont think iv ever really used a/c lol. maybe only to clear mist on some cold rainy days.
in terms of p/s i dunno if i can live without lol

[vte18c]

I couldnt live without A/C.. So from an engineering approval point of view, are there any major things to consider with the K20 conversion as opposed to B18C etc.

Talk to/PM DR HONDA as he did my friends K24 conversion but w/o aircon from memory but there are ways to make it fit as other people have said.
