fd2 engine swap

[cuongn]

just wondering, would an integra type s engine with type R gear box fit straight in to a fd2 civic sport with correct engine mounts, or its more complicated then it is.

[ej20i]

i thot that the fd2 comes with a type s dc5 engine?!?!??!

[r-r-redEuro]

fd2 comes with a k20z. the type S comes with a k20a(something). correct me if im wrong though:S.
the fn2r comes with a k20z(something) if i remember correctly =/

[ej20i]

arghhhh

[bodaas]

the only thing that complicated is how to rego, 2004-2005 engine to 2006-2008 chassis,, i think its impossible, otherwise people would have done that

[cuongn]

true but theres always got to be a loop hole some where, and i think its posiable that you can put a type s engine into da civic sport ,

[JasonGilholme]

you could potentially swap the internals from one block into the other. K20a inside a K20z block.

You'd have to check with people that know k series though.

Why don't you go a k24. Would be more of an upgrade wouldn't it?

k20z4 is for fd2

k20z1 is for type s i think

Also k20z4 and z1 will need a different engine mount afaik (the one on the LHS of the engine)

But its probably better to just buy a type s in terms of $$ :P

or swap with euro's K24? I think its got to be the new euro rite (is it tru that the new engine has to be newer than your car year)?

yes its true.

i wonder if you can do a straight swap in a FD1

so put the K20a for euro i think into the FD1... any ideas?

[warwick108]

i reckon.. stick a fn2r engine into a fd2.. =).. ^^.. no issues with the years

[denot]

K engine to FD1 wont be a straight swap... some1 has tried that on Singapore forum (cant remember the link).

[warwick108]

I mean. swap it to a fd2.. would it fit without any mounts?..
i'm guessing an fd1 would need some mounts to fit it properly.. =)
I'm thinking around 8 - 10g for the engine.. 110kw for the fd2.. and up to 147 after the swap.. increase of 37kw.. for 8 - 10g.. =S

Its been done before. Do a search on www.8thcivic.com
This link is what you really need to read to get more of an idea:

You could get newer import K-series engines that suit your year chassis.

One thing i remember is that the FD2 is drive-by-wire so you would need to use a TB that suits this.

Where are u gonna get the engine from? :P

[lukits01]

I think you will find that the mechanical work required to swap the engine will be straight forward.

You'll just end up scratching your head on how to tune the engine considering the stock ECU is integrated to a lot of the interior electronics. i.e. Can't simply yank it out and replace with kpro.
