here's the question. will the head of a rsx type s and all other parts bolt onto a k20 block out of a civic si.

if anyone is wondering a friend of mine went turbo on his rsx know he has a rod hanging out of his block and we can't come across a good deal on a rsx type s short block or long block but have found a good deal on a k20 out of a si. please let me know any info you might have.

thanks for the help.

 

they should be the same I think... I'm sure someone will tell me if I am wrong or right.

 

Yes, the type-s head will fit on the civic si block. It will also fit on a k24 motor out of an Accord, Element or CRV. I hear that you can get one for less than $1000 on http://www.car-part.com

I remember there being a thing about this.. so you should really look for it if it's serious. by the time I have the money and what not for this, there will be a plethora of info so I'm not too worried.

 

thanks for the info and help everyone.

 

K20a2 does not have balance shafts like the K20A3 does.

 

The Civic Si Block can use a type S head. I rememeber a while back ( I cant remember the company) but they used a si block and added a type S head and turboed it.

So the Si block will work with the type S head. But if you are building a motor I would suggest getting a k24 block with a type S head then turbo it. Good luck.
