Honda Car Forum

transmission engine? ty =]? I currently own a honda civic 07 automatic coupe and i want to convert it to manual and also swap a k-series into it, and no I can't just buy an SI lol because the dang car is under my dad's name =[ I think i know the basic components needed to swap the engine, and most k20 engines online (ebay) come with a manual transmission already but i just need to know all the parts needed to fully install the engine and have it function at 100%. I don't wanna have to uninstall everyhing one day, and then go "oh crud.... i forgot to buy new brake pedals O..O" hahaha. Well thank you for taking your time to read my questions, and all tips/answers are appreciated.... besides the ppl that say "just buy a Lambo... " or "just put a big spoiler wing on it, and lots of stickers to boost pony power" hahaha. =]

its gonna cost u more then ur civic is worth to do a tranny swap and a k20 swap dude, go buy a used stick civic and u can drop a k20 in it then

the automatic transmission, the torque convertor, the flywheel and starter, a radiator with the cooler built in to cool the transmission fluid, a shifter with cable

well, first off I would like to say, I am jealous. I would love a 2007 civic coupe. second, I say, "just buy an Si" but I understand ur dilemma. This is a fairly new car, so there won't be a ton of swap parts and tranny swaps yet. You are going to need new motor mounts, of course, as a K20 doesnt directly drop into ur car. I'm not quite suer what to do as far as the transmission, as The honda civics now have a drive-by-wire system, so I don't know if that would be a problem or not. K20 swaps online have the transmission for the Acura RSX, where the K20 was pulled from, not a Honda Civic transmission. This may create some problems also. I would just do a lot of researching, the internet holds all kinds of sources. Start reading a few tuner magazines, they should be helpful. Good luck on the swap, though, dude, It's gonna be insane when you get it done, if you do!

its not worth your time money and energy. just get one thats already a stick

OK, nobody really answered the question ,so here goes. You will need the motor/tranny $4,500, the motor/tranny mounts $550, the clutch master cylinder $200, hydraulic lines $150, shift linkages $300, aftermarket intake $250, custom fuel line made $150, shifter $80, shift boot $35, center console for the interior $200, clutch pedal assembly $300, COMPLETE wiring harness from the motor $600, ECU for the K20 $300, larger fuel pump $150, and axles $300. Just in parts alone you are looking at $8065, The labor MOST shops charge to do this swap is about $2,000.Then you have to figur the auto to manual conversion too and theres anothe $1,000 at least, So you might as well figure about $11,000 to have it running correctly and reliably.
