Installation notes

Yes — the K20A2 engine and 6-speed from a 2002–2004 Acura RSX Type-S (DC5) fits a 1993–1997 Honda Civic del Sol (EG1/EG2/EH6) with an EG-style K-swap mount kit, K-swap axles, a conversion harness and a K-swap fuel line kit. Hasport sells its EGK K-series kit for the 92–95 Civic, 94–01 Integra and 93–97 del Sol, with versions for RSX/Civic Si, Accord/TSX and CR-V/Element gearboxes. Hybrid Racing's K-swap electronics package and JBTuned's K-swap fuel kit are both listed for the del Sol, so the wiring and fuel parts are the same ones used for EG Civic K-swaps.

Required modifications

Engine mounts: Hasport EGK, sold for the 92-95 Civic, 94-01 Integra and 93-97 del Sol, in transmission-specific versions (EGK2 for RSX and 02-11 Civic Si manual gearboxes, EGK4 for 03-07 Accord and 04-08 TSX, EGK5 for 08-13 Accord, 09-14 TSX and 12-15 Civic Si, EGKAWD for K-series CR-V and Element manual gearboxes). Hasport says the stock transmission bracket has to be cut off the frame rail first. Innovative Mounts also lists its EG/DC K-series conversion kit in its del Sol category. Wiring: Hybrid Racing sells a K-swap electronics package (tucked K20A2-based engine harness, conversion harness and ground kit) listed for the EG Civic, del Sol and DC Integra. Fuel: JBTuned sells a Level 2 K-swap feed/return fuel kit listed for the EG/EK Civic, DC Integra and del Sol. JBTuned says it is meant to be used with a compatible aftermarket K-series fuel rail and an external adjustable fuel pressure regulator, which are separate parts. You also need K-swap axles, a shifter setup and an ECU the conversion harness supports.

Caution

Important caveats

  • The stock transmission bracket must be cut off the frame rail before the Hasport EGK kit bolts in, so this is not reversible without welding.
  • Mount kit version must match the gearbox (EGK2, EGK4, EGK5 or EGKAWD); buy the gearbox first.
  • The Hybrid Racing harness in the electronics package is built around 2002-2004 RSX / K20A2 wiring; other K engines need a matching ECU and harness plan.
  • The del Sol roof and trunk layout differ from the Civic, so intake, battery and exhaust routing may differ from EG Civic K-swap parts lists; confirm per part.
