sup guys...this is my first post...
i recently started new job that pays pretty good and i want to do something with my new found finance...i'm lookin to spend around 6k all together.

I alrady have a 5spd BASE rsx ( i bought it because i got it for 18k otd), and i was thinking of swapping a k20a into it...220 hp, 9k rev limiter..dammmmnnn... that be sweet, plus i've shopped around and i got an estimate for a full swap including labor for around 6k....

on the other hand, i was browsing through the forumns and the h22a hatch really caught my eye. I know it will take a lot of work to swap a h22a into a 92 hatch...but i am willing to put the time and effort.....

my question is..which one will be the better, as they say, bang for the buck...
i want to get everyone's opinion..thanks

forced induction. check out the aftermarket for the EP3...same drivetrain.

 

not looking to go the forced induction route...i already have 56k miles on my rsx..i'm also leaning towards the N/A side of modifications...

 

I dont really have too much to back up my opinion but I would say go for the k20a swap into your RSX.

 

hmm do you guys know which one is relliable??? do a lot of people have problems with the h22a swap???...i really don't kno which one to do..

 

why dont you swap the k20a on the base rsx.. and the base rsx engine on your eg?? if the mounts come out soon.. that's whatim doing with my car.. i have an ep3.. and im swapping an a2.. and the a3 ill swap it on my 94 hatch

Good idea.

 

hmm..anyone kno the pros and cons performence and reliability wise of a h22a hatch???

 

btw..i don't own a 92 civic hatch..i'm plannig to buy one off a friend...

hmmm...reading on in the forumns, it seems like he h22a civic hatch is a LOT faster than a k20a dc5...hmmmm...

 

that H is HEAVY for the chasis...you HAVE to get ALL the suspension covered when doing that swap....seen the struts push straight up thru the damn wheel well in a turn

 

The H series motor is heavy and you do need to do some suspension mods to keep it feeling right...

We will have a complete kit for K series into Eg's in less than a month...

We will also have a special discount for honda-tech members only...

if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at will@hybrid-racing.com

thanks

 

The K series motor is the way of the future for Honda. Sure, you can put an super heavy H22 in a hatch and burn K20A's, but put the same mods on both, and the K20A hatch will pull. Its lighter, responds SO much better to mods, and has a 6th gear...whats not to like?
I had a K20A2 in my 2001 Civic for about 4 weeks before some drunk chick rear ended me and totalled my car. I am keeping that motor if it kills me. Im gonna put it into a DC2 Integra. I loved that motor!

 

putting a h22 in an eg would be a better bang for your buck than a K20A in ur RSX...

 

thanks for the info guys...looks like i'm going for the k20a swap..hehe...one more month till i have enough1!!
