damn.. what is that engine out of? isnt it the new 06+ Si engine or something? shiiiet thats so ballin... i NEED to see numbers, also its in an 04-05.. man u are an innovator...
edit: upon further investigation of the engine i have learned its the 05-06 type s engine. beautiful, just beautiful.
yea it's a bitch finding axles and a subframe, i can already see problems with the speedo and the wiring harness, and kpro... unless you downgrade to 02-04
Yea Henry sees some challenges ahead with the wiring. I was thinking about using a RSX Cluster like your ride or an S2000 cluster. I read on from another forum that the 05-06 Type-S tranny uses a different style speed sensor from the 02-04's. Henry also said the temp signal seems to have a multiplex signal. I'll keep you all updated on the wiring progress.
Hello everyone, I stopped by the shop again today and they now have the engine mounted. Now they are getting ready for the plumbing and wiring.
Here are a few pics I took while they were finishing up. The first pic Ray was bolting down the last mount on the passenger side. Second pic the engine is bolted in and the last pic is the hood almost all the way closed.
From reading from the past posts on swaps I notice people had to cut part of the hood to clear the power stearing pump reservoir. Did any of you have problems with the pump itself clearing? The pump itself is what keeping the hood from closing in the last pic.
Also it looks like I'm going to have to ditch the windshield washer tank since it in the way of the intercooler piping.
damn man, you beat me to what i was going to do. Except i was going to do a k20a3 with turbo, since its cheaper. Where you located? are you located in so cal? if you are, which shop are you using? I need to find a place that does clean work.

Thanks TemjinX2. I'm located in the Sacramento Area. Motorsport Dynamics is doing the swap for me in Sacramento. They are usually very busy because they do very good work. During the summer time they are usually scheduled 4-8 weeks in advance, but it's worth it.
Yea but you beat me on the HID's. They look cool on your ride. Can't wait to get my car back to continue with the retro.

Yeah once you go HID you cant go back. Then you can probably same the samething about turbo when you get your car up and running .
oh, btw you're gonna have problems with the 05 ecu, but i met some guy on k20a.org hes tweeking my 05 ecu/harness so it can work OH and my k20z1 is from an 2005 RSX type S, the 06 si engine is the k20z3 which is less HP than the z1, so far, the z1 has the most HP in the US except for the JDM k20, that one comes first, but yea just to let u know, its not gonna be that easy with the 05 ecu,so yea

i ditched the washer fluid, and its where the PS pump pulley is that you have to cut away on the hood.
I went hid and i went back to stock, lol, stupid cops, now, imm all stock, so i don't get popped...
i also suggest the EPS(electric PS)...
Cool, thanks man! I was under the impression that the hood needed to be trimmed for the resivour. Hopefully I can catch the guys at the shop before they start trimming away. I rather get the EP electric power steering.
That sucks man about cops giving you a hard time about your HIDs.

haha, thats not bad, i got 7 exhaust tickets within a month in a half...
Hondaluver, did you install an EP3 rack on your car? If you did, I would GREATLY appreciate any information you have on the wiring that's needed to make it work. And rimedin, if your boys at the shop do it, please, please, please have them take notes on the wiring. I will be converting to EPS soon and I need all the information on the wiring I can get.
