K20A3 1998 160@6500 132@5000 9.5:1 86 86 dohc yes 2

straight from the refrence section here...
also try a google search for honda civic si 2002 horsepower...
first result had the HP rating...
don't be so lazy

and check hasport.com to see if they have a mount kit for it...

Thank you for the info. Where is the reference section? Under the "article" section or what. I tried to search using that method first and I couldn't get it to work. I'm not trying to be lazy, I'm just new to using this site. Will the engine fit with the proper mounts?

Thanks again.

i dunno much about K series, you might be able to use stock mounts...
or you may need a mount kit...

google it up...
look for write-ups on the swap

This should be in the swap forum....but yes you can put a K-series motor in an EK. In fact hasport has a kit for it:

The problem is, that there is a LOT of wiring to do. You have to rewire you're whole engine harness to get the K in there and I hear its a big bitch. Search arround, I know there are at least a few EK's with K20's in them, see if anyone has a how-to posted on the net.

google.com is your friend, it is how I learned everything for my swap.

there's a link to the instructions for the K series into a 96-00 civic chassis, just to get an idea of what you're getting yourself into...

Cool! I now know that I should have been more descriptive with the type of civic. Mine is the dreaded LX (which is why I'm swapin' the engine out this spring) I guess the b16a would be the way to go? The K20A3 won't fit my civic anyway. Atleast I got the hasport site to buy the right accessories. Thanks again for the advice and web links.
