you are going to have to deal with the speed sensor issue....It has been covered over on k20.org.
Anyone out there done a swap like this, I have talked to several Honda techs and they seem to think it will work without any problems. I have access to a complete 2005 RSX-S engine trans with all accys and wiring harness and ecu. I'm talking strictly drop out and drop in operation, I don't want to get into any special mods here. Or, is there a better K series engine and trans that will work on this application and yield better performance.

moonsi has a k20z1 under his hood too. might want to consult with him.
Is that it? what if I used a 03-04 RSX-R K20Z1
Thanks
i'm not sure if i'm understanding you, but there is no "RSX-R"...
there's a JDM Honda Integra Type-R and we here in the states get a rebadged watered down version of it called the Acura RSX Type-S.
JDM Integra Type-R engine code: K20A
USDM 02-04 RSX-S engine code: K20A2
USDM 05-Present RSX-S engine code: K20Z1
someone correct me if i'm wrong.
you have alot to learn...

I have a 05 ep3 with k20z1 i had to use the wireharness from the ep and the throttlebody dont know why but it would ideal crazy . with the trans we transfer the cases the only thing with that is that i dont have the reverse locking s
like others say, the only problem you'll run into is the lack of a speed sensor. you can add the sensor and the speed ring but it's easier said then done.
my friend has both parts acutally. we were going to toss a 6 speed onto his ep but the ep was wrecked before we were able to complete the project.
if using thise method, you'll also need an 02-04 rsx-s harness or you could re-use your ep3 harness if you don't mind not having the reverse lockout.
I run a z1, but didn't have to switch throttle bodies? I wonder what the purpose in the switch is? Do I need to swap them? Car runs good and sgi-5 solved all trans issues. If anyone knows about the throttle body issue please let me know.
I had thought there was some kind of an issue with the 04'-06' wire harnesses and earlier chassis.
