BARGZ K20 EF2

Post by BARGZ.. »

So I've got this here Honda Civic It's a 1989 JDM import EF2
I've had it for a few years, was a daily at first, then got taken off the road for a B swap. But plans changed after removing the original 1.5 twin carb auto engine, and it sat around for a while. Until I decided to go for a K20
So here we are, I've bought an EP3 donor car, and I plan on making big progress with it this year. So I thought I'd make a build progresss thread.

It's not the first civic I've owned, or the first 4th gen for that matter. I used to have a Black ED7. But it ended up like this.

So anyway, I got me some of these

Apart from buying a VT hub swap and a non pas steering rack, this is where I stand at the moment. Couple of bits on the way down the pipeline though.

Good start for a project! Like the engine choice...

as for the Cable to Hydraulic conversion I think this one is one of the best options: http://www.hushperformance.bigcartel.co ... conversion" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That does look like a great product in fairness. And although they say LHD only, I cant imagine the pedal box's differ much to RHD, after all, the clutch pedal is still on the left.
I've thought about using an EG pedal box, or getting an aftermarket pedal box altogether.

I think one of my mates had a hand in helping build that.
Couple parts from it would be handy.

Not doubts, but I like things to work properly and I dont wanna buy summat that would be £150 by the time it gets here and then have to modify it!

K swaps are basically bolt in, no custom mods... I've done 3 already so I know whats involved. :top:

Oh very nice, where did you find that? I want at least a half cage but haven't seen anything around.
