My D17a2 engine blew up so I decided to do what i been wanting to do for long time, and the time is here for K20A2 engine

 

[robertschultz1]

Cool story bro. Welcome lots of good info.

 

[SgtBozz]

I picked up k20a2 engine with transmission and subframe, I did get the ecu and wire harnes with it all for 1800, nice right

 

[SgtBozz]

I got new eagle rods for it and wisco pistons for it, all new oem bearings, all new gaskets, sent it to the shop to get it cleaned up, the wisco pistons are 9.8 compression, planing to run turbo by end of this year. And there it is all put beck together

 

[SgtBozz]

Here is my old d17 engine, goodby

 

[SgtBozz]

I removed my old engine, subframe wire harness from inside the car, radiator and was ready for som new stuff

 

[SgtBozz]

All my k20 parts before and after I got my hands on it

 

[SgtBozz]

Wisco pistons about to go in

 

[SgtBozz]

Subframe all cleaned up

 

[SgtBozz]

So here it is, all put beck together, bit I did not like on how much oxidation there was on the outside, so I scribed t piss out of it, primed it with Hi temp pain and then I did aluminum Hi temp pain over that, I do the same thing to the transmission and intake manifold

And here it is, I just got it in last night for the first time, this one pic with engine inside the bay was just a test fit but I got it in last night and got all the mounts on and the subframe, so now what I have left with is small stuff here and there, only one small problem I found, the P/S pump is bit High, I am going to have to trim under the hood a bit for clearance

Last night I got the rear engine mount on and the front one, and I did get to take a pic of the engine in it. I have to do some digging up about the immobilizer and how to bypass it, I did find on eBay for 15 dollars one I just don't know if that is what I need, if anyone knows something let me know. I am going to hall my car when it's done to the dealer to flash my key, the ecu that I am going to be using is from rsx type s.

 

[K20 EM2]

Nice keep up the good work :up:

 

[SgtBozz]

Nice keep up the good work :up:

Thanks man, what are you doing about the immobilizer, how are you going to bypass it

 

[SgtBozz]

So I called my Honda dealer and told him that I new the immobilizer reprogrammed, told them that I have a different engine in and ecu, they told me no problem, for $50 dollars they will reprogram my immobilizer and I should be set to turn my car on, I guess I don't need immobilizer bypass or kpro to start my engine, I hope it works, I will be towing my car in the next couple of weeks to them to get that done, I will keep you posted.

 

[Scherz Daddy]

I believe that because you are using a K20a2 engine, you will need to go to an acura dealer to get it reflashed. The standard process is listed on hondata's website.

[K20 EM2]

Yeah you can dissable the immobilizer using kpro

 

[SgtBozz]

Ok but what if i don't use kpro, they can do it anyway right.

 

[K20 EM2]

I havt used any other tuning software so i honestly couldnt answer that question, im sure it is possible though

 

[SgtBozz]

Ok so one of the things to get was -clutch lines from master to slave cylinder but what I did is I made a custom one from my old clutch all I did is cut it and used flaring tool to make the end and here is a pic of the final product, Way to save you some money and use on something els.
