Hi im new to this site and engine swaps in general, I have an 02 RSX-S whose motor went down the drain. My main question is if i would be able to put in a b16 motor or another b series. If so what modifications i would need to do for this. I understand that the k24 would be a better swap but i unfortunately do not have the money for a k24 or another k20 especially if i would need to get the kpro and any other required materials. So that being said, again can the b16 swap be done and what all would i need to complete the job.

^ This.

I've seen an EP Civic with a B18 motor before so I'm pretty sure it's possible, though I think it might be quite frustrating, time consuming and imo probably not even worth the hassle.
Definately lots of custom work as there are no kits available (as far as I know) to swap a B-series into an RSX or even K-engine car.

I guess it all depends on how much you want it and how much time and work you're willing to put into it I'd just go for a K-series again as well.

Would be an interesting project however

the engine/transmission setup are swapped on K vs B. Trans on the driver side for K and trans on passenger for B... so doing a custom mount setup would need to be done. Also the K series is a cable trans where the B is not so you'd need a custom shifter setup.

No offense but even thinking about doing a B swap is insulting and ridiculous. If you are broke and need a cheap solution buy a base series K20a3 or an EP3 k20a3 and downgrade to a base model engine. No matter how you look at it your better off and cheaper off swapping in a k series. I can GUARANTEE it. I've done so many swaps you just need to look for a great deal.

I've actually seen pictues of it in an ep2/ep3. But this was done in the UK. It was interesting to see.

not really worth it.. you're downgrading

B serious

I'm doubtful that OP is for serious.

But...why would you need a Kpro for another K20 swap? Find another A2 long block for $1200-1500, throw it in, and let it rip.

This would be so wrong on so many levels...

TS is probably long gone, but here's the EP with B-series engine.
This one however was an EP2 D16 vtec 110hp, so definately an upgrade.

How?

People have been swapping engines into other cars for quite some time, this is no different.

yeah, swapping to newer, or bigger better things, lol

Swapping in a older discontined engine sieres from 12 years ago, with the larger amount of money, time custom parts to make "much" less performance.

A smart swap would be a K24, it bolts right in, makes way more power and tq, newer.....really no downsides at all

It's just like a Lambo with turbocharged K20A
