10Foxtrot Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I come from an offroading/muscle car background, but have recently developed interest in tuning.. I just nought a 2002 civic EX coupe and through research have come to discover the D17 is a lemon more or less?.. I hear many good things of the K20 mod, but have never been one to really follow suit so to speak and wish to still be able to pass Utah emission laws.. What are my options for making some decent n/a ponies?.. Keep in mind that I am not one much for any type of racing really, just enjoy blasting a canyon road and recreational driving.. Your wisdom is much needed...???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 yeah theres really not much for the d17. the k20 mod youre talking about is an engine swap from an rsx. its probably going to cost 5-6 grand to do that though, not sure on how much youre willing to spend. if you just want a little more power, the general intake/header/exhaust will get you a little horse power, but im not sure how common parts are for the d17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly went pre 96 for that very reason but the wifey liked this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 K20 in a 02 Civic is a lot cheaper to do than any other car if I'm not mistaken. It's supposed to go in with next to no effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10Foxtrot Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 true, and you will be able to pass emmissions no problem with that swap as well That sounds like the ticket then im guessin.. Plus Ima sucker for a good sleeper so not announcing the obvious blow off of forced induction will be an added bonus.. With that swap I will need custom length axles right? If so is there any particular company that offers them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 if you buy from hmotorsonline.com it comes with basically everything you need, including axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
