here's the dilly: I'm gonna purchase a dc5 and i'm planning on converting the motor to type r specs. I wanted to know if the non-type s engine can be converted so i can can save the extra cash and insurance money by buying a regular rsx (i will also be changing over the brakes and many of the sus. parts.) someone let a brother know wussup. I need to get started on my togue monster

You'd be better off just doing a motor swap, cause as far as I know, the K20A3 blows...You'd have to change heads, at the least...also, I'm not sure if all RSX's have the larger intermediate shafts and hubs that the Type-S does, but for the sake of longevity you might want those too. Just turbo that sumbitch, turbo'd K20A2's make mad power.

 

just do the swap and save yourself the trouble of locating all the parts piece by piece

 

i appreciate the support, but i still didnt get the answer i'm looking for. I just want to know if the type s and non share the same basic engine parts. My assumption is that the only differences are the cams, pistons, and perhaps manifolds (i'm thinking purely engine here, folks). So forget i ever said anything about swapping to type r.

 

dude.. get the S
the amount of difference between the base k20a3 and S k20a2 can not be summed up in the msrp price difference.... and the most pivotal differences being (3) rocker arms on the k20a2, i and e manifolds, compresison, on and on.

if you want to do turbo(im not a fan) you can make huge power, and for about $4000-5000 on a k20a2, you could also have around 220whp NA, which is prettttty damn decent for street.

 

greddy just has a kit out..supposedly only putting 40hp down..but w/ the intercooler that will come out itll go to 80 for around that price range
