K20z4 Into Dc2 type R

[gkB18Cr]

Hey Fellas,

Just purchased a k20z4 out of a 09 Fn2 Civic Type R and have plans to put it in my 01 Dc2 teg

Now i have heard a few good and bad things so far.

Good news is i have a fresh motor with 20xxxkms and a 6speed with LSD. (Lucky 09 model) Bad news is the K20z4 runs fly by wire and therefore i need to change TB, engine harness and wiring lume.

But a few people are concerning me with the shift motion on the z4 is backwards? and a general Hybrid racing Shifter kit with cables might not work. Running TSX? Accord? Cables is what i have been reading with Hybrid Shifter Box

Also another issue is the gearbox being abit different to the rest of the K20s has people telling me the K swap mounts might not bolt up properly and i might have a few dramas with it aswell? What Engine Mounts will work?

Wondering if anybody had any other info that could help

Much Appreciated, George

To get around the fly-by wire issue you can run the z4 OEM ecu with Hondata Flashpro if you dont want to change throttle body.

In regards to mounts, I am waiting on confirmation on Monday night from Hasport

Mounts should be fine I have a fn2r box in my dc2.

Shifter motion can be fixed by modifying and changing the selector this will allow you to run a hybrid bolt in shifter and use reverse lock out. You will also need to fab a support for the bracket that holds the shifter cables in place at the gear box.

Your right about changing the engine loom and t/b.

You will need a K20R engine harness and charge loom and adpat it onto the engine. Get a K20A T/B with all the sensors (tps, map and IACV)

With cables and box, get a set of euro cables and shifter box. K-tuned sell the v3 bracket to suit

Hasport mounts EGK1 will fit

The rest you will need to work out. Ive given you enough tips
