Default 03 Rsx type-s JDM engine

I have a 03 Rsx type-s that needs a new motor, will the JDM k20a fit the current transmission that is in the rsx now?

Be careful what K20A motor you buy. The K20A motors from Japan (the ones with no red valve cover) are like the economy K20A3 motors in the US.

the ITR motor is an over rated K motor compared to being able to swap a K20Z1 or K20Z3 engine or even the mighty K24A2

There is lots of great information on the K24 swap. So do some searching if you are serious about the swap
