Looking for pricing on a new engine to drop in my ride.......cuz think about it, how priceless would the look be on an Integra TypeR driver's face be when you fly by !?! not to mention any other import for that matter that you'd see on your average day.........

I have heard reports that the S2000 head will fit on our cars. Any honda-tech that could clear that up....to be true or false would help. It would be one hell of a head swap and one hell of a chunck out of your wallet...........:p

As far as type-s engines good look........try calling junk yards.

I hear that is false. Two different engines entirely I assume. They may both be 2.0, but still, I doubt it would work.

Just wondering... but what makes you think you would be faster than an itr?
And why wouldnt you just get the rsx-s in the first place?

good question. I think the rsx looks better also, so why bother swapping

The RSX is so expensive........plus nobody around my area has the new Si, so i'd be more original with what i want to do with it. the only type R drivers i've seen around my area are old men who have lost their balls and don't drive the way they should

to each his own. I like the civic si motor more because it's already running lower compression than my previous civic ex I had (1997). I'll go turbo as soon as they come out with one for us :D

TWhiteSi02: Sticker on an RSX-S is 23,500. Si is 19,5. The RSX-S engines are very expensive to be had new, putting your costs well over the sticker on the RSX. The costs of originality. :)

I also doubt the swap would make your car roll on the ITR.

Yea you still wont touch an R...they are lighter than your hatchback. I believe the best time Hasport's Type S Si Hybrid has pulled was a 15.6. Not too impressive.

sorry buddy, but your wrong. Hatches weigh less. http://faceoff.intellichoice.com/FaceOff/Sponsors/national/FaceOff.asp?spon=national&NumModels=2&VehicleKey1=52100005&VehicleKey2=52260031&ModelDesc1=2002%20Acura%20RSX%20Type%20S%202%20Dr% 20Coupe&ModelDesc2=2002%20Honda%20Civic%20Si%202%20Dr%20Ha tchback

just because that person got that time, doesn't mean someone else can't get a better one. A good rule of thumb is not to go by magazine times. I've been to the track have you? My JRSC EX whipped RSX type-s's all day. At the track I saw the rsx type s hit a 15.6 all day. It really depends on the driver and location

With a type-s engine and tranny, you should be able to get 15.1-15.2 just like the S. And just like the S, high 14's with good tires and a few bolt-ons.
Just like the S... except, of course, you will have spent more money...:(

magus is right, our hatches are kinda on the heavy side, we gotta gut out some weight. I wonder why that one si is only hitting 15.6, I mean does the driver suck, are they missing something important? jus curious
The type S stock runs low 15's the hybrid si should also

the engine is only something to think about for me, for now i'm going for the average bolt ons: intake,header,exhaust,rims,CFhood.
oh yeah, i found the K20C-R jdm engine for $5,500
the B16B for $4,600, and the B18C for $4,800. so i guess it just depends on what i'm willing to buy originality for:D

the jdm K20C-R engine is also putting out 220 hp, not our USDM 200

sorry man, I misread your post, I though you said the rsx type s was lighter than ours...my bad

glad u caught your mistake. But they are very close if you look.. 2744 for the Si and 2767 for the Type S..if you weigh more than me by about 20 lbs your hatch IS heavier than my car :p

I believe HAsport got theirs to a 15.2,but i think that was on slicks...

I would do the K24 swap, it's the i-vtec motor from the 2002 Cr-V, puts out 160hp like our stock engine, but 162 lb-ft, great engine to build up, it would have more torque than the type-r.

If you can find a totalled 2002 CR-V in your junkyard, I'd grab the engine, I'm assuming it bolts up with your stock mounts.
