Do you know this k20 eg?

[dtsnr32]

Hey guys,

Im from WA and im looking to buy a k swap EG/ EK civic. Ofcorse there is never going to be much choice to buy one thats already complete. One I've stumbled across is on gumtree in Victoria. It's a pearl white, gold te37s, toda cams, springs & retainers. Im sure someone must know abit of history on this car.

I'd love to get back into a Honda but don't want to get a lemon.

Thanks for your help,

Future Honda driver..

Tuned max at 180Kws

He's also selling the wheels off

And I imagine the tuning means the max he's had it at was 180, but it's safetuned at 150, maybe? Just a guess.
But eh

must be really nice intake pipe, cos most i heard is extra 10kw with an extension intake piping

It's a special model box :P
Also runs hondata 1100 :-/
I'm guessing he has bought it off someone.. And someone must know that person...

[dc2r-0636]

Good way to bargain him down if he doesn't know much. Claims to have spent over 20k..
Engine and chassis prbz no registered to each other hence why he says
"NO rwc" coz It will cost too much

Has a "dc5r" gbox Must be jdm

[d-series-Mike]

I wouldn't touch it with yours, sounds hella dodgy

[dc2r-0636]

Fixed

Read the add, it says dc4r NOT dc5r
:) I am aware there is no such thing, was taking the piss

[junoki]

"Engineer cert ready but no included "

i dont see a reason why he wouldnt include this cert

Paid too much for the paper and wants to use it for another car?

[curtis265]

dc4r lol.




i do like the idea of this extension pipe thing, where can i read more about it mocchi?





to the OP, you'll need it engineered etc. to get through the pits here, otherwise they'll pop the hood and freak when the engine numbers don't match up with the paperwork. It'll be one hell of a headache otherwise.

Good luck.

This guy is asking 15 for the car but is negotionable..
There is also this on carsales at the moment:
http://carsales.mobi/cars/details/?R=12755062
The swap doesn't look as clean as the other but I plan to do a wire tuck and do basic upgrades either way.
Anyone know anything about this car?
I basicly want your opinion whether to not touch it with a ten foot pole or its something I can work with.
Cheers

the one on carsales says it is a k20a3. its from base model dc5, 120kw. It has eco-spec vtec (runs on 12 valves on low 16 on high). Not saying it wont be fun to drive etc, but if you going to do a kswap, might as well look for k20a2 or k24a3 that has the 'true' vtec camshafts.

Like every John smith selling a fully sick hectic k series bro

Thanks, I thought that might be the case. I'm surprised no one personally knows the eg I've posted up originally.

This second one is a bargain... Just swap out the K20a3 for a K24a3 + new tune and you will have a beast on your hands
