Swaping a EK9 type R to a DC5 K20A and tuning

[kshnlayne]

Hey guys just wanting if the B16 out of the ek9 type r can be replaced with the K20A out of the integra DC5? if YES!! which i hope it is can anyone tell me where I can start buying parts for the K20A engine and also would I need to update the other components such as Suspensionrakes/Transmission/Exhaust Maybe engine internals and would it be wise to T-Charge the K20 as im in great need of Torque and BHP at a range of 4500/5000 and holding the boost through the rest of the rpm range also can anyone recommed to me if i should have a piggyback ECU installed or one of the remappable Hondata ecu's.

Thanks

On the B16 engine, the gearbox sits on the offside of the car, on the K20A it sits on the nearside. The exhaust sits on the back and inlet sits on the front. Not saying it is an impossible swap, but i would think that you would need severe fabrication mods to make anything slightly fit let alone getting it to all line up and hold together with all the extra power it would give.

A supercharger would be better for a K20 rather than a turbo.
