SOooooo long story short, i kno a guy who can get me a full k-swap for lets say same price as a turbo A20 set up.... Would it work with an extra 1k of parts/fab. I know some people who can weld and fab stuff up. Im thinking engine management(cuz k series are obo2 right?) and axles. I've heard u can get axles custom made for the proper specs from driveshaft shop. True?
lol. Just a General feedback thread.
hardest part will be making it fit i believe its too tall
Thats true man...thats one hell of a swap...i mean its legit dont get me wrong....but anything is possible...shit if they can get a 4g63 in well thats nothing....i never seen it done so idk what to tell you? since its something you want to do...you would have to figure out and let us know....IDK would be sweet.
Accords have so much hood clearance, I don't see any fitment issue.
yeah if h22s can fit then a k series well to
yes we need to see a 6 speed 3 gee
if not you could try install it on a bit of a angle, or add a lump in the bonnet to make up for the extra space needed like they do on the old dohc hondas
Ya but when H22 is in 3Gee there is only soo much clearance between oilpan and ground. And you must not forget that the exhaust is on the back of the engine so this might be an issue.

good feedback. It wouldnt happen for a min but I wish tommy could get a few good pics of the set ups on the h22, and the 4g63 swaps. Thanks for the feed back. If i have more questions ill post up in here.
Do it.
What he said ^^ and do a good howto on it :D
edit: I'd do it "maybe" but las time I checked the K20a JDM were to expensive. I believe like 4-5k USD without shipping. from NZ. so this has turn me off.
So wats new??Quote:

wut all is included with this free k24? shit if it runs+has tranny i dont mind doing it. haha. would be sick as fuck.
the k24 longblock, I wouldn't let it go completely free lulz.. You pay shipping and give me 300 bux, and its yours. My brother paid a little over 1k for it, and then I traded my old turbo kit for this..Quote:

I got pic of start to finish. Also tdurr i got a extra hatch shell if you know anybody that want a hatch, its the one you seen up at the lake. I picked up a 5 speed hatch that im doing a full frame up on and its going great so far. Let me no
we will need lots of picsQuote:

and faydog, lmk once u get the motor in! sounds like u keep stepping ur game up! and how much for the hatch shell?
the hardest part wouldn't be the install it would definitely be the wiring. just my .02
wiring is easy. thats natural for me. lol. getting it to sit right would be the hard part. it would get a full tuck if i did put a kswap in anything.
if i had a k, i would put it in... no questions.
.......... i would even make my own mounts
find me a complete k with a awd 5spd tranny and rear drivetrain..... i have a se-i thats beggin to get swapped next.
lol yeahQuote:

i'm in canada, i bet the shipping would be insane to get one of them here. and they probably not out of crv's
lol ok man, so wiring k-pro into your obd0 car would be the easy part? and "get a full tuck" or "do a full tuck".Quote:

i'll doubt you and your "lingo" till i see it.
sorry it's the nature of internet talking... i can't believe a word you say until i see that you can actually do it. so when you k swap your car i'll believe you in saying that the wiring is the easy part. in my opinion wiring is easy, especially if you do it wrong. it's easy for me, however, having been taught the right way to do a lot of it. stuff that would have caused me to go ape shit 3 years ago i now do in 2 minutes. but something that's never been done before, like a k motor into an accord, the hard part is going to get the wiring done properly not the mounting or axles as all that shit has been done a ton of times just in different applications. but seeing as how the accord isn't even wired for OBD anything i will continue to say that's the hard part.
I would agree the wiring is the easy part as most of these new motors the engine harness goes right into the firewall to the ECU! so half of your work is already done and if running a Kpro most of the emission sensors and monitors can be disabled. but getting the motor in mounted where it's not hitting the hood or too close to the ground is tough on that tall motor.
yeah it's pretty difficult to cut a hole in the hood like the crx or hatch... or even the j swap in the eg...
i know how expensive a sawzall can get...
