Default really crazy swap idea

would it be possible to swap a F20C into a 94 Integra and make it RWD? I know anything is "possible" depending on how much money you want to spend but what would really be involved in doing a swap of this nature. Im sure it has to have been done before or atleast been thought about. I'm sure it would cost a lot of money and time to do it but it would be really sweet to have a RWD \4 door Integra with a F20C

that's nothing I saw a fwd nsx powered ek from japan. oh it's stock bodied not tube chasis either. I think I saw on either Honda tuning or HCI. the shop is either top secret or signal auto.

waddya think the price tag would be on a swap like that? I mean you would have to use the whole S2k drivetrain to make the teg RWD

it would be expensive but not impossible. it all depends on the size of your wallet.

Would cost WAY too much money. Probably like $25K+. Considering shops are quoting people $15k for k20 swaps into civics, keeping it fwd.

It would be a complete waste of time, IMO.

If you want 4dr rwd car, buy a BMW, Merc., Lexus, etc.

i sure as freak hope those prices your throwing out include the hardware, if thats just labor then you guys are getting reamed

i know a guy that will swap an H22 into a civic/integra for $1500, that is just the labor for the swap if you provide the motor, tranny, ecu, axles, wiring but the $1500 includes putting the motor in and making everything work right...if it costs anywhere near that screw it ill just get another MR2 when i have a place to garage them both...why did honda put the engine of the S2K in the front?

you are kidding right? Cause you have no idea what you are talking about. The h22 will go into a civic/integra with a mount kit. Nothing custom about that swap, shops charge 800 bucks for that swap here and that includes installation of a clutch if you provide it. What you are talking about is entirely one off swaps that nobody has done and that does not swap into the chasis you want. You are talking custom mounts, custom drive shafts, all sorts of cutting and wiring. These are not easy swaps. You are comparing apples to oranges here man. Not trying to flame just trying to let ya know.

Did you also notice that they are having a VERY hard time keeping axles in that bad boy?

Doesn't seem worth it IMHO. the 'cool' factor isn't that big of a deal.

duude..
just put an H22 in your teg LS. Teg LS's should be a little lighter than GSR's and other trims. And an H22 would seriously improve your power. So, put an H22 and boost it!!!
