aren't you guys always asking about k series swaps?

cool to see its been done but i never asked about it lol

pretty cool, most of been a hell of a time getting everything in there correctly.

i thought the engine would have to be mounted backwards?? /sarcasm

Must be nice to have that much money!

damn...thats nice

That's nucking futz!

What are the k-series engines out of?

What about that dash too? It looks pretty cool, although it doesn't line up with the doors very well, and looks like it kills the leg-room... looks pretty tight though.

k series are out of the new civics and rsx's.... pretty sure that engine and dash are out of a rsx..

damn wonder whats uunder the hood of the civic wagon.... nice to see someone accomplished this. gotta love the dash

DAMN HOW DID THEY DO IT. I triced it and had no luck. Major wiring and problem with the way the engines set in backwards.
I better read up a little more on this

thats sweet
still would take a built tubro with n2o crvtec

they can drop a k series in the civic but they cant fix a corner light /=
nice duck tape!

maybe it's "speed tape". You know, because the car is so fast now that the corner lights fly off at high speeds :lol:

Nice swap, but a totall waste of a lot of time and money.

I don't get it.

SIZ yet again you are correct sir!

Nice swap, but a totall waste of a lot of time and money.

Not a waste of money, www.cybernationmotorsports.com , they've been able to get 500whp out of a Type-S motor w/ just pistons, rods, head studs, and a blockguard, using a piggy back fuel system. That was 35psi on the dyno, I have a sweet vid of it, crazy shit.

That one is on the bottle I think, looks like solonoids and lines on the fender.

Yeah the cluster and whole dash is from an RSX.

the motor itself is worth more than the Civic it's in. Don't get me wrong...it's cool that someone did the swap, but it's definitely not cost effective. Then again, if I had the cash to waste, I'd do it too - just to say that I did it....

I realize that the K series make incredible numbers when modded (for what's done to them).. However, its not cost effective because those numbers could be achieved for less money with a different motor.

just wait years to come when the k series will be cheap lol

Like the "B" series swap is cheap

So, then the B series swaps will be even cheaper!? :p

K-series engines are also lighter than B-series according to all data I've seen. The stock axles are way tough, and they have 6-speeds.

K-series is the ONLY swap I would consider, other than that I'm sticking to my A6.

ITs not really a waste of money if ur going to keep the car because you like it alot. I mean with that brand ne engine you got at least another 10yrs on the car unless it rusts. And plus k-series engines are lighter than b's and they have more torque and there becoming more common in the newer hondas, so why not?

So shut me up with numbers. HOW much lighter are they? HOW much better is the gearing in their trannys compared to B series trannys? My tranny sure could use an extra gear, but it wouldn't nessicarily make it quicker..

Why not? I couldn't imagine trying to make that motor work in my car.. The wiring would be retarded, and I think you'd constantly be running into problems with it. Axles would be another thing that would be something to deal with too..

Like I said, its cool that someone did it, but if it were cost effective more people would be doing it.

HASport is working on a kit :D

Wiring wouldn't be too bad.

did they have to put the whole rsx dash for the swap? would the stock gauge cluster work? this is the first time ive seen it in a 4th gen, i wish there was more on it. anybody know?

I agree with you on the wiring. It is. Thats why i gave up and its still in the garage. lol. AND ALSO NO ONE SAID THAT IT WAS COST EFFECTIVE. It pays off in the end if you want to have a lot of power and keep your car for another 10yrs. but economically no. The only reason i got it is because my cousins a moron driving with no insurance and he gave it to me after he totaled the rsx.

How do you figure a newer motor will last any longer than a rebuilt older motor? I wouldn't jump to the assumption that because of its age its a better motor. Doing a swap just for "props" or whatever seems kind of counterproductive to what the overall goal is if you're wanting to make your car faster.. But whatever.

Does anyone have actual numbers of the gearing on the newer K series tranny? I'm interested now.. I think that my tranny would need a 6th gear to sell new today.. At least. I could have even longer gears and still utilize a 6th.

If you want a car to last another 10 years why not just go out and buy and RSX, lol. I agree, I wouldn't bother putting it in my car cuz I could have a B series for a hell of a lot cheaper. However it would be nice to have 6 gears but oh well. And I like the RSX cluster...but when its in an RSX, don't think it looks that great in a 4g.

lol i dunno, i'll continue changing engines my CRX untill someone totals it pretty damn bad.

Me also.. Until I drive it into 1 more truck, or it rusts out so bad there's no hope for it.

Yeah i think the dash looks pretty good in a 4th gen cept for the fact that its too big and going past door/

You could always use the '94-99 Integra dash. I've seen that done & it looks pretty good...

WHOEVER did the interior did a BAD job to me. It looks like they tried to wrap it in vinyl/leather and it sucks. That dash would look good in there though. **gag** look at the interior work on the door panels. **gag**

EDIT: my bad, I was looking at the small version of the picture. I still don't like the door panels though

It doestn look like leather thats just how an rsx dash is. It does look out of place due to its large size though...

wow, i still cant get over that duck tape fuckin ghetto asses they can get a k series in there and not fix a corner light?
