Description

Its finally here, ready for pre-ordering.

Finally a K Swap Kit. What a time to be alive! Whilst i intended for the conversion to be a bolt in it unfortunately requires some fabrication to physically make room for the gearbox requiring cutting, welding and fabrication on your part.  Here is the low down.

• To Suit K20 & K24 with K20 Gearbox
• Precision TIG welded steel mounts
• Black Powder coated finish
• 85a bushings
• Includes mounting hardware.

Fabrication Work Required

• Requires Removal of the Factory K11 Micra Gearbox mount on the chassis leg
• Requires cutting, strengthening, boxing of the left hand chassis leg to clear gearbox casing
• Requires gearbox mount to be welded to the chassis leg (This mount is indexed using two threaded holes on the chassis leg to correctly locate the mount)
• The Front and Rear conversion mounts require the OEM Crossbeam support.
• The Crossbeam support for the factory k11 engine mounts, needs to be cut, notched and strengthened to clear the oil sump pan.
  • The included, optional 4th Mount, can only be used with the Steel sump.
• Alternator requires relocation (Alternator in Factory K20 Position, places the alternator in the same space as the right hand headlight)
  • If wishing to retain the OEM Belt Driven Water Pump, We recommend;
    • https://www.t7design.co.uk/honda-k20-k24-alternator-relocation-kit-raw-billet-bf2-6c9-7d0.html
      • The Slam panel will requiring cutting and boxing to clear alternator.
  • If wishing to use EWP Water Pump, We recommend;
    • https://www.t7design.co.uk/honda-k20-k24-electric-water-plate-kit-raw-c0c-e24-2af.html
  • Both options require some trimming to the slam panel under the headlights.
• Radiator requires moving onto the slam panel (Directly forward of its current position) to clear Clutch Cylinder & Throttle Body

Gearbox

• Must Use K20 Gearbox/ Transmission
• This mount kit will not work with K24 Gearbox – The mounting is different.

 

Optional Purchases

  • CNC Machined and Hardening Treated Motorsport Grade Shafts
  • Bare Shafts Only

For Clarity

• Conversion Manifold
  • Hand Fabricated In-House.

  • 2.5″ Collector
  • Terminates in Factory K11 Position in gear tunnel

I have spent the time in R&D into these additional components to make the swap easier for you by producing the two, harder parts of this conversion – making a conversion like this possible without the headaches.

Please note, if you choose not to purchase the Conversion Shafts & Manifold. We will not be able to offer any support. You may choose to purchase these at a later date, however without the bulk discount price applied. (Drive Shafts – £600, Manifold – £520)
