jdm k20 into ausdm dc5

[EK4R]

not sure how many people have done this, but i know one that have.

thought i would ask anyways

Apart from the obvious , the engine, what else do i need for a complete swap or can i use my existing AUSDM parts with the jdm engine.

do i need :

intake manifold (ausdm compatible - ?)
all the sensors
fuel rail (ausdm compatible - ?)
alternator (ausdm compatible - ?)
jdm ecu
wiring/harness (ausdm compatible - ?)

any other bits i have left out?

Is this swap really worth all this effort though?

:S

[EK4R]

YES. and it has already started so no point questioning the swap. there is a reason for the swap. got a offer i cant refuse

[Elwood]

Well when you put it that way, fair enough.

Excuse my n00bness =)

Does ur jdm k20 come with intake or ex manifold...? you can still use ur audm one....unless you can find a jdm one....and I think for the fuel rail and alternator you can use ur audm one yeah? I think they are the same aint they? can someone confirm?

[EK4R]

ok i will update the first post. thanks eddie. someone please confirm

yes it does have jdm intake manifold and exhaust manifold

but yeah obviously i want it to be as easy as possible so save on labour instead of swapping parts over and over

Big balls you got there man. You started the swap and then questioned if it would work.

Can I ask was there anything wrong with your AUDM K20 to warrant this swap? Must've been a good deal to take out a motor that with I/H/E isn't much different from the JDM.

[EK4R]

na i got normal balls.

might drop the k20 into my ek , i got a 24 lying around here also.

anyways back on to topic anyone with a helpful answer would be appriciated

cheers

since the AUDM K20A2 is almost identical to the JDM K20A i would have thought your questions would have answered themselves...

just swap all the AUDM stuff onto the K20A long block and it is done.

simple.

well thats good news,

reason i ask is because i can get those parts for cheap and it would save labour cost if it was already on the jdm k20 instead of swaping it over from the ausdm. Might use the the ausdm later on too or part it

[tinkerbell]

yep, pretty sure it is all 'mix-n-match' kinda stuff...

the best way to save on labour is to DIY
