lets be real (swap)

[exman98]

well SHIT!!!!!!
i am almost positive my chassi is the EJ. this is bad.

what is the diffrence any how

[CivicSpoon]

EK is what people refer to the '96-'00 civics, just like they refer to the '92-'95 as the EG (when it's really an EH). You're car is an EJ, so anything for the EJ or EK will work.

[eckoman_pdx]

As civicspoon said...EK is just the commen chassis code reference name people give to refer to 96-00 civic...even though some are EK, some are EJ, etc..chassis code wise.

For 92-95 civics, people call them EG most of the time, even though EG hatchs never existed over here. EG has the hatch chassis code in Japan. Here in the US...in general, 92-95's are either EH or EJ...hatchs are EH, some Coupes are EJ, and most Sedans are EG...so there are EG chassis coded cars int he US...it's just only the sedans...

so anyways, when people say the swap is for an EK civic, it just means 96-00 civic. So yes...EK refers to your car...a 96-00 civic.

well knowing that makes my day better.
I just got a little confused on the wording, that is why i will probably pay some one to put this engine in.
realistically I would like to dave this done by about november so i have plenty of time to figure every thing out.
Thanks a lot

this is a quote from another forum that i skimed through.

" Wrong. Every 96-00 USDM civic is an EJ, except for the 99-00 Si which is an EM1. "EK" is the designation for the 96-00 SiR and Type R Civic Hatchbacks in Japan, so since everyone on this board thinks that since they have a 96-00 civic they have a JDM B-series powered hatchback.

there for the EK and EJ would be completely diffrent. the EK egine mounts that i found from Hasport would not be the right kind.

Naw, they are the same except that the EK is japanese and the EJ is US and Canadian. It's the same chassis except for the engines and being RHD. The motors still sits the exact same way, only the wiring harness is longer to go in on the other side. The Hasport mount kits will work fine in your car, it what they're made for (Hasport is an American company).

[exman98]

I am so gald that there are smart people on this forum^^

[eckoman_pdx]

Smart people?? Geez man...both civicspoon and I said for the last half page that 96-00 civic where both EJ and Ek...we didn't lie...USDM civics have a EJ code and JDM ines an EK code...most people refer to them as EK...the JDM code...this is helpful too since there are a few EJ 92-95 civics...so it helps people understand whihc years they are refering too.

Basically....if someone says it's for an EG...it's for a 92-95 civic...regardless of what you chassis code is..>EG, EH, EJ...igf you have a 92-95 civic it will work.

EK refers to 96-00 civic...doesn't matter if you have a JDM EK chassis code or a USDM EJ code...IT IS ALL THE SAME...IT WILL ALL WORK...the hasport mounts are for a 96-00 civic, typically refered to as the JDM chassis code of "EK" for short. So you have a JDM civic...USDM civic...it doesn't matter...if it's a 96-00 it will work. You have a 96-00 civic...as we have been saying for the last half page...it will work.

You are thinking WAAYYY too much into it...trust us, we've been in the game for a very long time...much longer than we've been at these sites...it WILL work. If you still don't beilieve us, call hasport and ask.

Now that I can understand and respect...I'm glad we could help...feel free to ask more dumb questions anytime

[NOBU-SAN]

D-Block!! That is the truest IMHO. If you can take a single cam and make that beast run a GSR, go for it. If you don't have outrageous goals, build and turbo that puppy. I hope to do that in the near future myself. I want t o do a ZEX cam and an Edelbrock turbo kit. I figure I could push over 200whp since they hit 176whp on a stock exhaust and nothing but the turbo for power. I just like the idea of building a FUN car on the cheap. You can always get plenty more power out of a B or K, but how far do you want to go really? Then again, suspension and brakes mean more to me than all out power, so maybe my thinking is different than most.

can the si tranny be used in the dx with no problem?
