I had recently gotten a 02 base model RSX with a motor that has bent valves. Its going to end up costing me like 1500 to get it fixed so instead I found a type S engine for the same price, the complete change over. I was wondering if there is anything special I need to do the swap, or does everything bolt and plug right up as with the base model engine?

 

Did you get the Tye-S ECU? Also, I'm not sure if there are any wiring harness differences.

 

1500 thats cheap as hell. Everything should be the same besides the linkage. If u dont have the ECU go with Kpro on ur base RSX ECU

 

hell, buy the motor and resell it if nothign else, geez. Or part out your car and buy an EK or something and swap it in for a rocket.
