i found a rsx type-s motor on the net the other day and i cant seem to find any motor mount kits anywere. is the swap even poseable? the motor ran for 5,500 i think with every thing to make it run. is this a good price? thanks for your help.

 

Oh its possible... Might wanna try area 51. They did the EK K20 swap. Maybe they can try it on the EG.

 

yup, seems like area 51 was the only place that did it with EK\EG(practically the same points)

HASport did it the newer civics... i think it was on sports compact car.....

i think having to go through smog would be a bitch with the K series engines... it might be better off get a B18C5, hassle free swap and less worries (if you live in cali) on smog

 

I did a search for ya, here are some fairly new threads on the topic

Thanks for your guys help. It seems like its more $$$$ than its worth. What do you guys think??

 

too much work. its a strong, light engine, but until prices of mount kits go down, and the bugs are worked out, i would just build up a B18C5

 

hasports k series mounts will be available shortly.

 

. for the amount of money it would take to do that you could have a very nice c5.

 

B series kicks *** now! ( I have one in my EG)

K series are the wave of the future for Honda racing (Just ask Erick of Erick's racing)

The stock head on a K series flows better than the best ported head on a B series! Read the interview with Erick in the new Honda tuning, or visit ERE's website.

You can definatley make your EG into a low 12 second street car on pump gas with a B series. However, you can also do that with a K series, just won't be as easy...yet..or maybe it will???. I'm currently in that debate myself, don't know if I should build a B series 2.0 for my EG or save some more money and run a K.

If you want to go ***** out fast now = build a B, the formula is there and it's easy

If you want to be on the cutting edge and still run really good times (just not as fast ) and go ***** out fast later= go with a K

I mean, you can still put down 200+ HP with a K...all you need is Hondata, CAI, Comptech race header, a decent straight through exhuast. Dr. Charles car didn't have the race header and I don't believe he had Hondata and he put down 195 whp, it was a JDM K20.

SO..if you can get a K20, installation, and all parts in your ride for $6,000 or so (I'm sure you can get it cheaper), I say go for it.
