cool, can't wait until you post up your 16.8 times.

haha.. i know.. thats probably all the difference it will make.. imma chagnin my throttle body and intake manifold next week also so we will see if that makes a difference

[PoisonFangs]

I'm curious to your times with the intake manifold and TB. Also where did you buy them. and what company made them. I have a 2002 civic ex 17.00 in the quarter mile. 7TH GEN LOVE!!! i want a faster car.

hey.. haha.. at least u got ur vtec.. my vtec is not kicking in cause the wiring isnt done yet.. i bought the autometer C2 tach so that way i know my shifting points... found out that my car redlines at 6800rpm.. as for the throttle body and intake manifold imma gettin it from DH racing... heres the website http://drive.to/dhracing ...i'll let you know the times once everything is in... by the way.. what u running under ur hood poisonfangs?

[PoisonFangs]

well under my Vis carbon fiber hood im running. a venom Vcn-1000 nitrous kit (not yet fully functional) an AEM short ram intake. but there is more to come money depending

[PoisonFangs]

oh and be carefull with the DH company i have heard some not so good things from some of their customers.

[xproductionz]

i heard good thing and bad.... but the bad things i heard was all about mostly there engine blocks and stuff.. but cant go to wrong with an intake manifold and theres basically only one moving part in the throttle body.. these parts basically let more in so cant see too much going wrong with those.. unless anyone else can find someone that makes em i am open to suggestions

[PoisonFangs]

there is another company but dont bother. a guy i know acually lost hp cause it was so restrictive.

Cool deal X, when you dropping the K20 lol.

[Ricochet]

don't those pocket bikes get about that?
just fuckin with you..

[xproductionz]

haha.. the pocket bikes last nite were running low 11's.. i thought they could do better than that.. as for my k20.. rite now im buying some nos and a turbo and burning the hell out of the D17 motor while at the same time buying a sheit load of pieces to complete the k20 install.. did u see the dang list..

Parts Needed
- K20A2 or K20A3 (from Civic Si) Engine With:
- AC compressor
- alternator
- P/S pump or idler pulley (from Civic Si)
- wiring harness
- exhaust manifold and catalytic converter

- ECU
- Transmission and starter
- intermediate shaft
- Axles from either 02 Civic Si or 94 up Integra GSR (we used 02 RSX with RSX knuckles and hubs)
- RSX or 02 Civic Si subframe
- Hasport ESK1 bolt in mount kit (as of this time the kit will not work with the K24)
- Hasport ESKWH conversion wiring harness
- RSX shifter assembly and cables
- 02 Civic Si radiator and fans (although the RSX will fit with some trimming around the radiator cap opening in the grill)
- 02 Civic Si upper and lower radiator hoses (RSX are longer and may kink)
- RSX throttle cable
- RSX fuel line, brake booster line and purge line
- RSX AC line from compressor to condensor
- RSX clutch lines from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder
- Custom AC line from compressor to evaporator (Hasport should have one available by April)
- 90 Accord negative battery cable
- If you want powersteering:
- RSX high pressure powersteering hose and return line
- 92 Civic P/S resevoir w/ bracket and a section of hydraulic hose to go from the pump to the resevoir


The immobilizer:
Last, for driving the car over to Honda to get the RSX ECU flashed to accept the Civics key code, you should be able to drive on the Civic ECU for a short distance. Make sure you bring the VIN information with you from the RSX. People with a non-US engine may have to find another option.


Other things:
With our Civic we opted to use the RSX knuckles, hubs and brake assemblies, so we also used the RSX axles. The RSX axles can be use with the smaller Civic hubs if you change the outer joints to those of the GSR or Civic Si. Our Civic was an auto, so some wiring then had to be done to hook up the park/nuetral safety switch to the clutch pedal switch. Hey I hope this sheds some light on what is involved in the swap. We will have more pictures on our web site as we further modify the car. Also look in the near future for the first K24 swap as we build a big block for our Civic and soon we will be doing a K24A Accord engine and tranny swap into a 01 Civic.
1) The Civic's engine bay has the same dimensions as the Civic Si, not the RSX. For that reason the RSX base model engine's intake manifold will not clear the core support.
2) The Civic Si radiator is a better fit than the RSX radiator, due to the location of the filler cap. The stock radiator's hose necks are in awkward positions and do not work well.
3) You will need the RSX or Civic Si subframe.
4) The 01-02 Civic engine harness contains the wiring for the primary O2 sensor, but not the RSX or Civic Si engine harness. This is a necessary part for code free operation so it has to be added. In the RSX or Si it is called the AFR (air fuel ratio) sensor, There is also a relay that goes along with it. The 01-02 Civic HX uses the same part. Use the HX wiring diagram for proper hookup. This part is for you Htown, it will fix your check engine light.
5) If you want powersteering, you will need to cut away some of the hood's underside support for pulley clearance. Use the RSX P/S hose, and return line.

Wow. For the price of those upgrades alone (including engine etc) you could get a used sports car. The sad truth of trying to make a Honda fast

[~ls/vtec~]

dude whats up with the 16.9? u got an intake header and exhaust. is ur car that heavier than an ek? cuz mine is stock and i ran a 16.4 with a dead clutch and no tach..on top of that my widebody was probably slowing me down. my friend ran a 16.1 in his ex. with cai header and short shifter

[PoisonFangs]

The 7thgens are slow. Me and x know that first hand. Hey x are you doing a custom turbo, or are you buying the kit from Stafford Fabrications?
