k20z1 in cb7

[ChampCoupe]

ok here is my input. i have done the research and im currently putting my motor together. i have spent a lil over 3k and my motor has after market rods and pistons. i have almost everything i need to drop this motor in mmy car minus kpro and axles. when i got boost thats anothe 2k. with that being said i will have ony spent 6.5k. and i will be able to make as much as 600hp maybe more.

so if its building from scratch to go boost, your wallet is the limit. but in stock form k series will put out more power and torque from bolt ons. with h22 to make over 200 wheel hp you will have to open the motor up. k20's with i/h/e and krpo will make 220-230hp and 150-175tq. on stock internals.

its more about how much money are you willing and able to put into your car.

cool.. thanks but for everyone talking about 6k=k20..nd blah blah...i already have the k20z1.. i took the prizes and for me to do the swap i am gonna spend 3k.. that is with name brand parts... not any ebay bullshit....its going to be hasport mounts, dc heders. aem fuel rail, hybrid racing shift box,built head,type r internals(for the block)kpro,etc... so 3k with all the shipping. labor. everthing... do you guys think that is good...

I think it all rests on what you want to do and how much money you are willing to spend. Since you already have the K20 that isn't a big deal. What matters is if you want to go through the hassle of having custom mounts made and installing it. It is a much rarer swap so you wont be able to get as much help on it. but again, it's all up to you.

z1 internals are the same as type-r, if you wanna upgrade got with rrc internals. it suppost to be 11.7 compresion, stronger rods, intake mainfold make about 10hp more than rbc intake manifold. and the hasport mounts wont work with that motor or tranny.

but anyway good luck with it

Even with the motor in hand, if you can get the K20 in there, running reliably, without halfassing anything... I will personally suck your dick.

I have no intention of ever having to live up to that promise.

yeah.its cool.. you dont got to do that...but i would let you kiss it...na.i am just joking... but thanks bro. i guess you know how hard the swap would be to pull off.

[mayberry]

What he is trying to get at is if you really had the know how to pull this off, you wouldn't be on here asking us these questions. I would sell the K20, buy an OBD1 H22A swap from Hmotorsonline w/ LSD trans. Buy all the parts you would replace while the engine is out, clutch/fywheel, timing belt and w/p, seals, maybe upgrade the intake manifold, header, new intake, esp mounts. You have a fun, reliable, swapped car. If you really think you can do the K swap, a stock K20 with intake/header/exhaust/cams/tune will rock an H22A with similar mods. Either way I wish you the best of luck.

I'm not really saying it's hard... that depends on your abilities. However, from the sounds of it, you're not a welder. You're not a fabricator. You'll be paying for mounts and axles. You'll need all sorts of modifications done. You'll need to build a new wiring harness.

It gets VERY expensive. When swapping in a motor that doesn't go in easily, the motor is the cheapest part. Going into a project like this saying "I'm only going to spend $3000!" is a very bad idea. You're going to end up with a car in pieces, and no money.

Even Hasport says that a K swap into an older Civic would cost about $8000 WITH their direct swap mount kit!

Yea

Ppl w/tons of money (or credit cards) and usually experience are the ones to pull these swaps off

And its usually those kinds of people who REALLY know how not worth it it is

Even $5K to get the K into a CB would be kind of ridiculous. You can build + swap an H w/LSD for less
