accord euro engine swap into a ek1

[michaelle89]

hi there, just want to let u know this site is awesome and great jobs maintaining it, its been real helpful.

first of all, my mum had a 04 accord euro with a h23, it was recently written off but the engine was untouched. the euro was a great car and was fast wen i needed it to be, unlike my ek sedan. i want to put int he h23 into my ek but was wondering what major problems id be facing such as the most obvious how big the engine is compared to the d16y as well as the weight issue. and how much do u think this project would set me back? i was going to sell my car and buy a dc2 but this opportunity came up and what would be cheaper? forking out another 7k for a dc2 or this engine swap? cheers.

04 Accord Euros have a K24A3 engine. Not a h23.

Check if the power steering pulley clears the bonnet. If it doesn't, then you might have to lose power steering. Cutting a hole in the bonnet is not a good idea.

it clears if you use eg crossmember

i had a magazine that had a K24 in a Jazz... so if it fits in there im sure a EK would be a sinch =P

and this jazz was a track car and blowing times out the water lol

was this the j's racing yellow jazz. awesome car.

Best bet would be to search for the people who have completed the K swaps. they are full on font of knowledge.

HAHA mannnn how i would loveeeeeeee to be in your situation rite now :(. K swap is not guna be cheap tho, your guna need a lot of extra's that are going to cost you a bundle (not tryin to turn you off, jus make you aware). Another thing ur guna need to consider is that its going to be hard to find insurance for a reasonable price. If you can afford this financialy you are going to have a very very fast car my friend, turbo's wont b able to touch you if you tune it rite.

k swap waste of money man, just buy a turbo car lol
