shoot.. sorry guys. i don't know why i coudlnt' find it the first time around. My bad..

imported_kasimmmmm

actually you know wut.. no luck. Can't find anything about a swap shops... People keep talking about where to get the motors but no place that can really do a swap.

Any help would be appreciated...

imported_Zyepher

tons of shops...defcon, altech, split, i.a.c = big $$$$$ shops...you got a shop so diy.

type in "swap shops" in the search section in the discussion section, and you'll find what your looking for. I just checked and a bunch of results came up

thanks guys...

i found def-con racing... they're the only ones who've actually done this swap before. They have a 2002 civic project car with the jdm type r engine.

Teknotic does swaps. So does Altech

Teknotic does not do swaps, they sell engines.

Eric told me he could install an engine if I purchased it off him. Correct me if I'm wrong..

I thought he did do swaps. Guess not.

i believe he only does what is nessisary i know he swapped out his type-r at his shop so he maybe doing some.

Yes we do complete swaps and installs! These are not done at our facility, but we have 3 select shops we work very closely with for the install of our motors.

We can put together a complete package with engine, install, and all parts required for the swap (into whatever it may be).

splitfire knows that their doing .... or i know of next level automotive who also knows what their doing!

i got my swap at altech.. . and i know teknotik is very good also.. highly recommended people awsome to work with .. and great attitude !!

good price also.

dont take it to just any "swap shops" just because they have experience and are well trusted.

most of them havent installed a k series motor into a car other then a rsx and some havent even done that. so based on that you cant take a k motor and have it installed at a shop that has installed b series motors into civics and know everything about it.
its like comparing oranges to apples.
b series is a piece of cake.

imo take it to defcon. they did one into an ES and it wont be hard since the EM is the same gen. to bad they havent done k into ek.
no worries i will be doing it myself soon.

Defcon is another affiliate that does awesome work (so I heard). They did a jdm k20 into a EP3 i believe. And I'll be most likely doing business with them also to build my engine.

imported_Team Rukus

k20 into an ES
ep3 is hatch

oh and silent si you might wanna spell your sponsor names right.

chris_si98

i thought it was a hatch?

imported_Team Rukus

nah
the guy is on the board too.
its the navy blue 4 dr 02 model i think
