K20a conversion into EG...

[MRB18R]

Hey Guys,

just wondering if anyone has a rough idea, to how much a K20a would cost to put into an EG civic, also including gearbox?

and...

How much does it cost to engineer??

Cheers:)

SEARCH!!!!!!!!

PEOPLE BRING THIS TOPIC UP EVERY SINGLE WEEK

YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO THINK OF IT

or go and do your own research

dont expect to be spoonfed everything

budget 12k for a basic backyard swap and up to 20k for an all out hardcore swap

7.5k min for engine, and the rest on labour, parts etc etc etc

its been covered quite alot, if you search theres sufficient information. in terms of price, as mentioned in other threads a number of times. no one can give you an exact price.
prices will vary depending on parts, condition etc etc etc.

so, best is to directly ask the provider of the engine/parts and person or shop whos going to do the conversion for you.
expect to pay roughly $15k....on top of that u gotta think about costs of upgrading brakes, engineer cert, blue slip, etc..

12-15k would be doing it cheap too...

Engine + trans = 6-8k
Mounts/axles/harness = 1700
clutch line/fuel setup = 700
all new fluids/some gaskets etc = 200
intake/headers/exhaust = 1500
ECU/Hondata = 1500
misc bits and pieces i cant think of = 200
rad/hoses/fan = 300 - 1k
If your EG isnt EFi = 600
brakes/suspension upgraded = 1-3k
engineers cert/registration/RWC etc = 2k

Adds up real quick. They are some quick estimates for you.. I'm sure theres things i missed.

You could save money buying used parts etc.. But overall, the swap ends up expensive in the end. You will no doubt find things that need replacing along the way aswell.. I just spend close to $100 on 2 new OEM ball joints that needed replacing... All these things add up...

and pick up the phone and start calling wreakers for the engine and mechanics for the labour cost..

^^you drive an em1 and you say a dc5r is ugly?

whats wrong with em1? personally I think the facelift EK/EM civic is the best looking civic ever made. in terms of the teg, i know its overrated but I love the jdm front teg over the audm dc2r or dc5r.

[RtN]

yahh.. lol what sinnowis said im pretty sure most people would agree.. the dc5 is too roundish/bulkish for my liking but yeh just opinion. and yes the dc2r is beautiful!

[dc2dc2dc2]

dc5r shits all over em1
without a doubt

[RtN]

not in visual appearance tho!. U do look in the clean ek/em thread right? lol and dc2r > ALL cept maybe s2k or nsx.

[simonnowis]

pftt dc5r is a ricers car LOL!

back onto the thread..imo unless you have money to burn, you will be saving alot of money and no headaches buying a honda with a k series convertion already done to it.
you just have to be patient, there seems to be alot of bargain sales that come up once in awhile.
