K20A Engine

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

ok, first a stock Type S CAN hit 14's in the 1/4 mile. High 14's, but on average its in the low 15's. Also the K series and B series engines are set up differently. THe tranny and the engine itself are in the exact opposite spots.....(one on the left and the other on the right) Id go with a B or H series no supprises. But in the long run i think the K will prove to be a much MUCH better engine.
A:



moe182 is right. don't forget, the bigger the displacement, the more of a horsepower potential it should be. the only problem is to get around the newly developed OBD III ecu!
A:


Yea, in the new K-series the ECU, Engine, and Key are all encoded with the same code from the factory and if all three dont match the engine doesnt fire. But i mean its not that big of a deal if you buy the engine you just make sure you get all of em....

wtf....i know 3 people with stock rsx s's doing mid 14's. one guy named bobby put the hew toda cams, comptech header , intake and hondata on and the car (with me driving) ran a 13.8 on street tires.
A:

hondata
A:

in some magazing i dont remember which but there selling mounts already for it and i think hondata has a harness going . they have it in a civic hatch iit hit mid 13 i think with no mods.
A:

any body know how much of a ***** itll be to throw down a k20a1 into a ls body thats left hand drive, im looking real long term so dont want to bore out the engine and throw down turbo, also do you still have to import all mods you would do witht this engine or does someone know a us preferbaly company that has some after market parts already for these engines even though theyre rare. thanx fo the help. also i jest learned the guy who i was suppose to buy it from sold it out from under me so if you have one for sale let me know or know of someone where to get one other than jdm cuz theyre prices are a lil rich for me
A:

i want to do built k series cr-vtec for allmotor in a crx

A:

I have stared at enough Hondas at work and i will tell you YOU ARE A DUMB ASS TO SWAP A K SERIS ENGINE INTO A 96 CIVIC! First off usbframe, umm yeah. Second everything has to match up or when you turn the key, opps no start. Third, IMO, Vtec on the new cars suck ass. I believe it is the new SI is only a two rocker arm vtec not three like with a b16. Igntio coils another problem not including the hell of a wiring mess that you are going to have to do it correctly. It isn't worth the time or money to do a K seris swap into a pre k seris car. Now a new si with the JDM RSX-S eninge is a whole another story.
A:

I had to chime in here. This thread is soooo fucking wrong.

The K20A fits into the 7th gen civics with motor mounts form HASPORTS.COM. But hasn't been done into the earlier civics.

The K20A is the type R
The K20A2 is the type S
The K20A3 is the base RSX and Si.

I just got my K20A for $5500 from hmotorsonline.com and it's perfect!


I ran 14.9 in my stock type S, in hot ass South Louisiana.

IT IS NOT OBDIII, who ever said that is a moron.

It's not the engine that is coded to the key, it's the immobilizer that checks the key and if it doesn't match it woln't fire.

The VTEC on the K-series is so much better than previous VTEC's that it's a joke.
A:


Umm...NO. Try again. On the Type-s engine, the vtec is a true three rocker arm vtec. On the new SIs, it is nothihng more then a glorified varable valve timing.
A:

Does anybody know what I would need to make my Type S motor a Type R motor?? Would I have to do a complete engine swap, or just the cams, pistons... etc...???
A:

You would need to swap, cams, pistons, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, final drive and diffirental. There's more diffierences but those are the main ones.
After all the labor and hassle it would be cheeper to swap out the engines then sell your type S motor. Believe me, there's a demand for them.
A:

oh and the chromemoly flywheel, I forgot about that.
