crazy engine swap idea...:-)
hey guys im new to this forum...after doin a little research i was recommended here. I have an 97 integra GS (auto) and i was wondering if it would be possible to swap my enigne out for an 02'-05' RSX S-type enigne? I know it will take some time (worry about suspension, exhaust, fuel lines, custom mounting, cuttign and welding ect. ) would it be possible? any advice on swapping would be great. thanks guys

yea..you also gotta worry about trying to mount a b series automatic...to a k series engine that is designed to run with a manual transmission...plus I'm not positive, but i'm pretty damn sure that there is no ECU that can control the rsk-s engine and manage an auto tranny as well

that's not possible to mount the k-engine to a b-tranny. They spin different directions, and they probably have very different bolt patterns.

Umm, this isn't like putting a Ferrari motor into a Honda. In that case, your statement would be correct.
It's very commonplace to swap in K series motors nowadays. There are mounts available for it now. It's only slightly more expensive than a regular higher end B-series swap.

meh, there have been crazier.
a shop here swapped an SR20DET into an FD3S.
they did a good job, had a v-mount intercooler/radiator set-up and everything.

thanks for all the info guys...a buddy of mine told me about a rsx in a junkyard that was really f'ed up (back end almost missing, roof caved in, looks like roll over) but the front end was perfect...it's a manual newer model (02-05) RSX..so in theory i can get the engine, manual trans, and ecu..with all these goodies would it make my life easier? fyi i didn't post readin rainbow man pic lol

from what i hear, it's always easier to get a front clip (intact wiring harness, mounts, accessories, etc.), so if you can afford it, go for it and let us know how it goes.

you guys are retarded.
levar burton->reading rainbow-> reading is your friend :rollseyes:
putting a K-series engine into a DC/EG chassis has already been done, in fact hasport sells mount kits for that.
you won't be able to use the auto unless it's the auto from an RSX

Re: crazy engine swap idea...:-) (96integra)
if ur gonna do a engine swap do it right so u might as well go manual. if u want an automatic, get a rsx non type s engine and leave it at that. u MIGHT be able to swap an auto rsx tranny onto a rsx s motor, but you might need to run a rsx non s ECU with a VAFCII to control your motor's behavior
