yes you can. you better have deep pockets, because at this rate you're going to spend way too much.

Actually the car and engine together would have cost me 3656 euros roughly around 4,800 dollars.

another silly question is an s2000 engine more powerful than the above mentioned integra ? And if it is would installing it ina front wheel drive car limit its performance since an s2000 is rearwheel drive.

Ie what would be the better choice of engine to use the type r or an s2000?

Learn to google please. Sounds like you are just pipe dreaming also.

take into account another 2-3k US dollars for everything else you need for the swap. plus labor since i'm assuming you're not doing this yourself.

you cannot put an s2000 motor into a fwd car in it's stock form. you need to use a k series transmission and that just adds even more to the cost. get it out of your head now if you dont even know what it takes to do a k swap.

There's a lot more to swapping a K20 into an EJ/EK chassis. You might want to do some research. F20 swaps are possible. Once again, search.

A K series swap will get really expensive pretty quick. I'd suggest a b18c swap if you're on a budget
