my advice, save up, buy brand name parts that are worth a damn
hybrid racing makes the best products in my opinion plus they are made right here in the usa
you will need to collect a few things for a painless swap
STEP 1
hybrid racing mount kit (hasport works too, harder to install though)
hybrid racing fuel rail
hybrid racing fuel line kit
under dash sub harness for k swap
ep3 axels work in our chassis, fitment and splines
hybrid racing race header 4-2-1
fuel pressure regulator
high flow fuel pump
these are the parts I strongly suggest purchasing brand new, they don't have to be hybrid, almost any reputable brand you have seen in Honda tuning will do minus golden eagle... garbage eagle...
STEP 2
figure out what your budget is then what k you can get for the price
k20a2 are fantastic engines in a eg, pulls hard revs up and i-vtec is sooo sexy
k20a3 (sorry self proclaimed ep3 expert) are junk unless you rebuild and spend decent money to make it a a2 you would have spent enough to have the a2....
k24a2 tsx engine, lots of power for the buck but no traction in a eg.. too much torque..
k20z1 (newer k20a2 engine but its drive by wire,. pos garbage) you can swap some sensors, the ecu, and the tb and your back to a k20a2 minus compression ratio and such.
STEP 3
take your time installing your new baby in your other baby.
i can edit my write up in earlier posts under this section on how to install a k swap as it was one of my first major k series posts in this forum.
i have more pictures to add also
BELOW IS THE INFAMOUS SUB HARNESS
THIS PIC IS OLD, AND THE NEW HARNESSES LOOK BETTER AND WORK BETTER TO.... SO ILL POST IT UP TOMORROW WHEN IM NOT HALF ASLEEP
THE WIRES COILED UP IN THE MIDDLE
theres 2 yellow and something and 2 green and something there
ones for the coolant temp sensor, one is for the brake booster light, one is for the ac shit, ones for something else I never use lol.
when you BUY the conversion harness HYBRID RACING sends you a freakin little instruction manual that's in color and they have tech support also.
