How do you put a K20 engine into a 2002 Honda Civic Lx?

Answer 1

Parts needed:

-Complete k20/k24 motor changeover

-intermediate shaft

-O2sensor for the same type of motor

-subframe from a rsx or 02+si (ep3)

-Hasport Mount Kit.. (other companies make em to) (make sure you get engine specific mount)

-Hasport Wire Harness Conversion (I wont be using this, i will attempt to wire it myself)

(please note that if you do a k20 swap into the car you will need the k20 mount kit. If later on down the road you want to upgrade to the k24 you will need to order the passenger mount only which lowers the engine more since the k24 is actually taller than the k20. HOWEVER, you can already order the k24 mount kit ahead of time and still use the same mount for the k20)

-Parts needed from an RSX:

-shifter cables

-headers and downpipe

-throttle cable (you can use a 92-95 single cam civic cable, much cheaper and easier to find)

-clutch lines from master to slave cylinder

-high pressure Power Steering hose

-power steering return line

Parts needed from an 02+ civic si:

-ac line from compressor to condenser (if you want ac)

-axles (base RSX axles will work to. NON type S)

-radiator and fans (RSX will fit but need trimming, not very much i might add)

-upper and lower radiator hoses

Other stuff you will need:

-custom ac line from compressor to condensor (again if you want ac)

-92-95 power steering reservoir with bracket (they do sell aftermarket ones which work just as good, especially if you want looks too)

start with the above parts. then checkout a company called Hasport. They have a full write up on their website.
