K Series engine

I don't believe anyone has put a K20 into a CB7 yet.


The F20C spins the other way... so either you'd have to make a CB7 RWD, install it FWD and drive around in reverse, or do some major custom work to make it work properly. If it's been done, I've never seen it. I'd like to.

I don't think so either... Why backtrack on displacement??? I know there's the F20b or whatever, but they always say, "No replacement for displacement." However, I think the more popular way to go is K24 with K20 head, but not sure. Haven't researched this much cause I'm not gonna do it lol.

Now I'm wondering if the F20C post was a typo, meaning the F20b??? Love to see a cb with an s2000 motor in it, converted to RWD.

I recall somebody posting something where an H22 was used on a rwd car by mating an s2000 tranny with an h22's. Lots of aluminum welding and fabrication involved, but worked and looked alright. If I was to do an s2000 motor it would be the F22C and would be rwd. Might as well go all out, rather than spend all that money making it fwd.

There's a CB9 with an F20C swap, according to owequitit (who I think was relaying information from Rayray, who saw it firsthand...)

The K20 Type S or Type R would certainly be a worthwhile swap. I mean, the RSX weighs only a couple hundred pounds less than the CB7, so it wouldn't really be THAT much of an issue.

K20 has been put in a cb. http://hondasociety.com/board/showthread.php?t=143766

Interesting.

Here is one a guy is putting in a 6th gen. http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50234

The F20C or F22C can be swapped into the CB7 with FWD retained. InlinePro has an adapter plate and mount kit, which connects to a K Series transmission. It is designed for EGs and DCs; but I talked to the guys and they said a CB7 should be minor if any problem at all. It is commonly called the F2K setup, very popular in the N/A classes now thanks to this kit. So all you would have to do is convert to a 6 Spd setup. Install the F2K Mount Kit, attach your F20C/F22C motor, and go. I know I made it seem so simple, but of course it is not. The kit itself costs 4 grand. Being modest I'm sure it would costs 8 grand alone just to drop it in bone stock.

don't think that k20 cb ever ran. he was on here, but i can't remember his sn.

there are multiple versions of the k20 just as there is the k24. there's at least 4 versions of the k20.

the lesser k20 has 160hp (came in the civic si hatchback) and belongs in a garbage can. later.

According to the Hasport site, there was a K20 in the Accord overseas that would work with their mount kit (without alteration.) I assume it's not one of the "good" K20s.

Yes Type G is correct. That cb with the k20 never ran. He has not finished the project and has not even attempted the wiring which some say is one of the most complicated parts of the project. Ill try to find the link to his thread on K20a.org and post it here later if i can find it.

Indeed the k20a3 from the ep3 (civic si hatchback) is slow and needs to be destroyed. Ill take the trans though!

For all the work and money... if I get a K, it's coming w/the car too

I mean for all the work involved... it's basically like swapping in a motor from another make. If you have the space + time you can make mounts & figure out all the other shit. IDK man it just doesn't seem worth it to me, unless you can get everything for cheap- i.e., from someone else bailing on a project

When CM Accords get cheap I def want to try a build on one of those K24s. Modern day F22As, lot of options

[deevergote]

I agree. If you're shooting for true originality, then it's good... but as the K series becomes more popular, the work doesn't really justify the cost. There are still plenty of F and H performance options out there. It's not like yuo can't make a fast CB7 without a K swap!

It is indeed alot of work. The amount of time needed is almost crazy. It seems that there is always something else that you forgot to buy that you need to continue working. It definitely worth it if you can swap the k for less or the same as an H imo.

Originality is becoming harder and harder to find in the car scene. There seems to always be another person who has more money and time and desire to complete these insane projects. My hat is off to them on this one. If your planning to do a k in the cb be prepared for sleepless nights!

he is still working on the car, but had to modify the rear and drivers side mount bracket.

your talking about the k20 EuroR motor and tranny. Europe/Japans version of our TSX.
