knightmaric Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 As the title says, how does an engine transplant work?Let's say changing my stock D14z to a 55 older shape civic engine, is that the K20 engine? O.o Not 100% sure.But yes, that as an example.What would need to be changed and modified in order to make it work correctly?Obviously the engine has to be changed and the wiring loom. Gearbox too?I'm not too sure what else if i'm completely honest.Reason i'm asking is because I just want to get a better understanding of it and how it works.Never know what the future may bring =]I suppose it's worth knowing just in case you or someone needs help with it lolPlus I did get offered an engine out of a 55 plate civic type R xDI very much doubt i'd buy it as I can't afford it and my insurance would probably fly up.Anyway, i'd really appreciate any help you guys can give =]Thanks in advance.Gaz.

civicturbo79 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 There would be so may things mate .Just getting the engine mounted would be a massave job in its self you wouls have to cut the engine mounts off the chassis legs and the off the civic tyre r mount the engine and weld in the new mounts , Drive shafts would have to be made . you wouls have to make one loom out of two as you would need the engine ecu and fuse box loom to run the engine and the wiring to run the mb6 . You would have to mount all the rads . There will be loads more im sure . not a job for someone that is not sure and to have the job done would cost 1000'S. Rich.

Rich.Like rich says a big big job and cost 1000s . also you would need to sort out power steering if you want it coz they are diff and still there is a load more that needs to be looked at . thats why f/i is prob best way to go . yes the work is a lot less if you keep to an engine that is in the model range .eg mb2 to an mb6 do not get me wrong still a bit of work .

jalesi2001 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Its probably cheaper, quicker and a lot less hassle to just buy the car.....if you want a K20 engine....buy an EP3!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightmaric Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Aaahh ok =PI thought it'd be crap loads of work lolDoes the MB6 have a B16 or B18?Tbh it would make more sense to get an engine from the same model range lolNot 100% if i'll do it as money doesn't like me atm lolI'll probably just buy a new car come renewal time with a better engine than current =PIf I had EP3 money I would xDAlthough I do like the Accord Type R :3Why is it that a lot of Honda's i'd like to upgrade to seem like they'd be really bad with fuel consumption?
