sounds good, what is the fastest time an euro ever got at wakefield?

BTW regarding the transmission, if i can get a full DC5R gearbox with LSD, clutch kit including flywheel etc, should that be able to be transplanted into my euro? (keep in mind that my car is auto trans, i dont need to change ecu do i?)

because if i can, i will change the gearbox when the car gets older in its age when the gearbox dies and i can also do an engine rebuild at the same time.

Looking through Natsoft, I saw a high 1:16 before.
No, you cannot put a DC5R gearbox straight into your car as the mount is different. The case should be different too.

If you change from auto to manual, you will need a manual ECU.

can i change the mounts to fit? and will i need a dc5r ecu or cl9 manual ecu? can ecus be directly be swapped like that?

theres many k24/dc5r gearbox swaps into ek/eg civics, so i believe it shouldnt be too hard to do it in a euro aswell. I will be doing when the car gets older as i want to keep it and not sell it. I just want to kno the process and whether if it is possible or not. Thanks aaronng

Not sure if a company is selling mounts to use the k20 gearbox. You will need a CL9 manual ecu, matching immobiliser and matching transponder chip from inside the key.

It is not easy to replace it like in the EK and EG civics because of the tighter security and the fact that the Euro chassis is not popular for engine swaps.

ahhh ok sounds like a lot of work, but ill be the first to try a higher revving k24 combined with a dc5r gearbox in a euro would be amazingly awesome! I will do more research and find out more into this and let you guys know. Appreciate your help.

Ok guys ive done more research, and i was really interested in JDMyard's setup of the k24/dc5r gearbox. However, I was told that installing a dc5r gearbox in a cl9 is too much effort and not worth the cost and instead a CL7 (euro r) gearbox will be better.

JDMYard can source one for me for about $2.5k without flywheel/clutch etc. Now my question is since this is only the gearbox, what else do i need to complete the conversion. Can someone provide me a list of items i need.

Will i need to run a CL7 ecu or can i use a CL9 manual ecu? thanks

my budget for this is 4-5k, do you think this is do-able? it does not need to be done straight away nor am i in a rush, just want to collect information so i can start preparing and collecting these items for future build. thanks guys, please provide me your opinions
