    Go to your motor bay. Open the hood.
    On the block of the motor(in your hatchback) there is an engine stamp.
    It should read something of the variant -D16YX...or some combo with the D16. Look at your motor. Look towards the bottom of the head...keep looking towards the left hand side...a small little plate will reveal those alphanumeric combo...or it could be covered in oil/grease...not hard to find...

    Im assuming your Civic Si hatchback has a power sunroof and disk brakes for the rear?

    To swap in a K20 motor, you would need custom mounts...look up www.hasport.com

    Welcome to the board...do you own an Accord?


    1990 Accord Lx F22a1(Daily) SOLD - will be missed
    1990 Prelude Si B21a1 (Fun car!)

      Putting a K20 in a 90 Civic would require more than just custom mounts. THe motor spins the opposite direction which would put your tranny on the driver's side of the vehicle. So you would need to swap out the shifter mechanism (not sure if the 90 Civic is cable or hydro), fabricated accelerator cable, convert car to electronic speed sensor, convert car to OBDII, probably a whole new exhaust and the list goes on... There are much more feasable swaps available for the 90 Civic... B series, some decent D series motors, even the H series would be easier than the K series.

      Hope this helps!

      I don't have road rage, my car just goes faster than yours!

      Accords are for winners. And Grandmothers. But mostly winners.

        it's harder to put the k series into any of the older cars because nearly everything is different......different fuel delivery system, different wiring (must use standalone ecu or k series ecu), different mounts, different header, different (insert word here, probably right)
        ....and on the 7th day, deevergote rested and called his mom.

          i've to say the same thing: definitely no K on that 90 civic.....

          but then.....IMO, swapping with engine other than K series doesn't sound too good at all. all the B series engines are getting too old!

            well the only reason i was putting the K series motor in there is bc i want to make the 90 Hatchback vicious. I want to be able to put it on the track and leave some ppls in the dust..

            Thanks for everyones in put on this. I want to know if any really knows what i will need to change in the hatchback.( Yes like EVERYTHING_) If anyone has this time get back at me.

            Oh and if there is anyone in VA that knows about the 90 Hatchback and wouldnt mind pointing me out to some good places that i can take my Hback to get some of this work done at get at me. THanks again for welcomeing me to the board and I hope to be riding in style with yall on the road one day. Peace. Grimey.
