Default engine swap question

After you complete an engine swap, and your looking for engine parts, do you buy parts for the new engine or does it matter?

you buy parts for whatever engine you have under your hood...makes sense right?

the only thing that might be chassis sensitive, not engine sensitive, is an exhaust

system...(correct me if im wrong). what kind of motor are you swappin? its goin

into an em2 right?

It really varies from car to car.
EM2/ES1/ES2 most rsx parts will fit except for the exhaust.


Common chassis sensitive parts would include:
- cold air intakes
- race headers
- exhaust piping and muffler
- intercooler piping for forced induction
