Default 92-95 civic hatch with k20a3 motor?

I was wondering if swaping a k20a3 motor from a base rsx into a 92-95 hatchback was possible? I know hasport.com sells motor mounts for the k20a2 (type s) motor into a hatch. Is the mounts the same for an k20a3?

You could but I don't think with all the money you'd have to spend on the swap, that it would be worth it. Its not the same as the k20a2, and it doesn't respond to mod like it either. Its up to you though, its your money, your car.

exactly. You're gonna spend 2-3.5K just on parts to make the swap fit, plus the cost of the motor/tranny/etc. For 160hp, it's definitely not worth it. For 200hp (k20a2) or 220hp(k20a), it is much more justified. If you just want a 160hp swap, do a b16
