I just bought a 2002 ex and I want to plan on a good motor swap, will a gsr fit or should i just get a turbo/super-charger?

man, you should do both! GSR and supercharger in a 02 ex.

Currently there are no mounts to put a g3 integra motor in a 7g civic. I hear that HASPORT is making mounts so the RSX motor will fit in the 01/02 civic.

Honda has brought about the end of the B series of engines. The new civic/integra/CRV all use the K series. They are not now, and probably never will be compatible with the old B/D series cars. Since most people aren't looking to swap engines on a brand new car, there just isn't much info out there yet. The link posted above is the first real evidence I've seen of one.

I wonder how the engine bay of the EX compares to the SI.

On the plus side, RSX engines seem to be selling very cheap right now. I seem to remember hearing they're going for as little as $2500 for a type-S. I'm sure in a couple of years demand will go up and prices along with it.

 

where did you see a rsx type s for 2,500???

 

Yeah, Where? Expiring minds want to know

Honestly, that was just a heresay thing... I haven't priced them myself.

On that note though... I just went to http://www.car-part.com and found one with 224 miles for $2500. It doesn't say if it's the type-s or standard though... probably standard.
