Hey guys i just bought this car 2002 Acura RSX Type S 6Speed Manual...

im just getting into the K20 stuff and i would really like to know does this car have a stock engine in it or is it a K20 Type R motor???

 

Holy Crap! That thing is Mangled. i can't tell from those shots.

BTW- Is there any story behind the DESTRUCTION?

 

Probly just a red valve cover, but like WyldRice said, can't tell from those shots.

sounds about right anymore

 

Holy crumpled rsx metal batman! Dude it looks like some giant crumpled that rsx like a piece of paper and then tossed it.

Only way you will be able to tell if it is a DC5-R is look on the left side where there is a sticker but from the looks of it i don't think you'll be able tell.

 

well if its not a K20 type R...

is it still worth doing something with this Engine Swap&gt;&gt;&gt;

what should i do with it&gt;&gt;&gt;???

it has only 708 miles on it ORIGINALMILES


let me know what car should i drop it in and tell me a little about it

thanks guys

 

Kid that lives next to my friend... his parents bought him a brand new Si coupe. I was talking to the dealership he bought it from. They were teaching the kid how to drive the car before he had purchased it in random parking lots cause he couldn't drive a stick. One hell of a test drive! haha. They just said he was a snot nosed brat. He still kills it pulling out of the driveway. I just can't wait to show him up on my EP just cause he gives me dirty looks whenever we're outside washing cars (EP3, WRX, 350Z).

Brats. I hate them.

 

Well it depends on what you want to do and where you want to go with your project. you could put that motor in 92-95 civics, 96-00, 01 + civics i mean you have endless possibilities. what it boils down to is what you want to do.

First off tho, is the motor fine? does it run? is it broke? anything wrong with it?

 

motor is in excellent shape

i just dont know what i should put it in

because i been doing b16 si swaps in eg and ek

this is first time im doing rsx

so i dont know if it will be good in eg ek or just another rsx

 

oh it's plenty fast in an eg or ek. **** 12's (with an eg or ek k swap) in a 1/4 mile stock motor is plenty fast.

 

yea its most likely just a k20a2 with a type r valve cover, but it should say k20a on it if it is a type r motor. But its a very nice pickup. Yea you should just find a cheap clean shell to drop it in(hatch or dc2). Some work to it u can be pushing 11's easy.

 

that thing was rolled at least 3 times lol

 

I wouldn't assume someone would crash an RSX with a Type-R engine swap and not take the engine back. Plus isn't the IM different anyways? That looks like the stock k20a2 manifold.

 

take the engine, swap it in an eg

 

I have a *very* hard time believing the engine or transmission went through that crash unhurt.

And how does that car have 708 original miles on it if it is a 2002? Has this POS been sitting in a junkyard for 6 years?

Also, it has obviously been modded. Look at the valve cover, headlights, etc.

 

dam that car got crashed

 

just look at the block if it says K20A on it its a Type-R but if it says K20A2 its a Type-S simple as that

 

that would b crazy if the guy put a type r in it

 

seeing pics of wrecked rsx's makes me feel safe in mine. i have yet too see one where you know they didnt make it out alive.

oh you are safe alright but your car wont be. They were designed to crumple like paper to help save the driver.

 

how much you pay for it? i would use it, right down to the harness.

 

Why would they swap a K20A into a car with 700 miles?
