K20a INSIGHT by LHT

[ryker]

I just bought a new Civic a few months back. I would have had you'll build me a r18 powered Insight.


A used Insight will cost 8-10g
A used r18 and auto trans from a wrecked Civic ???
Shipping to Tampa
Cost to install ???

How much would the swap conversion work cost me?

This is the best thing I've seen in YEARS! I bought my 2000 Insight in 2001, and since then have been contemplating a twin cam VTEC swap (if and when my engine ever dies, that is). I first considered the infamous b16, but then I learned of the k20. For the past several years I've been thinking up plans on how to do this swap / where to find a shop and lots of R&D concerns.

Well, I officially found my shop.

I have the car, now I found the shop, all I need is an engine. Like I said, this project is not in the near future, because I cannot imagine destroying a perfectly good hybrid (it only has 127,000 miles). HOWEVER, when the time comes, LHT, here I come.

You. Guys. ROCK!

I have been building up civics pretty much since Honda introduced the 5th generation hatch and I've done every engine swap imaginable culminating with my most recent, the venerable K20. I also have a stroked NA K20 in my 2002 RSX but now you've got the creative juices flowing all over again. Man, I SOooooo want one.

I bow down to the most amazingly clean Honda swap project EVER!

Thanks , It's great to be noticed by folks that know what kind of work goes into such a project.
