i just had a quick question about a base model rsx engine swap? i have been doing some searching and i have not found a answer. my question is can you swap a k20a2 or k20a type-r in to a base model rsx? will there be any real problems with the swap? i really only ask this because of the six speed transmission into a five speed transmission car? and any other info on this kind of swap would be great.

*i heard a k24 swap was pretty good in a rsx (t/f)?
*or even the new k series frank. motor?

*thanks for your help in advance

 

Why not just sell your base and get a Type-S. It would be a cheaper and easier route.

But yeah, the motors will swap. But kiss your resale goodbye if you do this.

 

i ask this question is because i think the base would be cheaper on insurance . just saying and it is kind of hard to find a rsx-s where i live. i would like a rsx-s (still looking for one) than doing a swap but i just want to check out this option to see if it would work just in cause i cant find a type -s.

thanks for the info.

 

buy some cams and hondata Kpro along with an intake, header exhaust and RBC IM and you'll be set. one of those recently made 197whp on a K20A3
