Yeah it’s a super common bolt on mod!

Nah but for real it would be sick; but you can get CTR power levels with an ethanol Etune and supporting mods from DRob. Not to discourage your dream or whatever, but engine swaps are a very involved process (even civic to civic). All that said, it would be dope to see someone do it.

I do not see why not. The biggest challenge would be figuring out mounting points (engine, transmission, etc) and everything else can be fabricated. There are no swap kits yet since this plat form is fairly new.

would be interesting to see a k20z3 swap that retains all the 11th gen features (esp rev match, shifter feel and clutch feel).

best of luck

I would be shocked if they ever made a “swap kit” for this… they don’t have one for 10th gen and those are 6 years old.

What power levels are y’all shooting for? And what application? I would LOVE to see a time attack build but I get the feeling it’s gonna be a drag weapon.

Are y’all looking to retain all OEM interior functions and stuff or just go full race car?

i'm tossing up the idea of doing a k24a3 swap on my 10th gen hatchback. im not interested in crazy power. im more interested in a dual vtec k series that can rev to 8k and make around 250whp200wtq without breaking a sweat for track. and ofc you could always turbo it if you want crazy power haha. the fk8 motor is intriguing but way too expensive. I've always preferred NA motors, nothing like the feel of that classic flat honda powerband and instant power. on FWD its hard to justify too much power if you want it to do anything other than go straight. but to each his/her own.
