RSX Turbo swap

[Joebeau]

Does anyone know if you do a type-S motor swap will the turbo designed for it fit in our engine bay? Has anyone tried this yet? Where is the best place to look for a new motor?

the K20A2 (rsx-s) motor and the K20A3 (si) motor have the same footprint. the problem may come that our engine bay is slightly smatter than the RSX engine bay. i haven't looked at the turbo kit for it, but it may require some modification. Any turbo kit should still fit if it's designed to fit under our hoods tho. Just make sure the turbo will work properly for the A2's higher compression and it should be ok.

honestly tho, if i'm doing a swap there's no way i'm gonna stick a turbo on it. i would just turbo the A3 and run higher boost. The topic has been covered before, A2 = all motor, A3 = forced induction.

or maybe i'm just really sick and need to go to a doctor. :confused: :(
