Default Type R swap

Shop got expanded and taking advantage of the holiday break, we decided to do a quick and impromptu 00 Type R swap into a 95 Civic (employee car). Car's a daily so it was done in less than a day.

Type R


Original motor


Hollowed out


Motor in


Current engine mods: NGK Spark plug wires, AEM fuel pressure regulator, JDM Type R header, Skunk2 cams and valve spring+retainers.
As we get more cars in and projects going, will be posting and keep everyone informed.

Here's a good start to a new year, to everyone.

Is this thread about the swap or the motor build? If its about the swap itself, then it should probably be in the Hybrid section. I can move it if thats the case

Motor was swapped w/ cams already in. But from past experience, you'd feel the power/torque increase.
