Rep Power: 0 I was thinking the same thing. They are not as fast as the type s, but with a few mods and a stronger torgue converter it maybe worth while. For like have the price, plus I think the sport shift is pretty cool. I found this tranny and engine on clubrsx for like $1500. I am really thinking about doing it. Money issues, you know.

Rep Power: 0 has anyone done it? is it even possible? i kinda like the sportshift also! how much do you think that kind of swap would be? including the k20 swap..i know k20 swap may run me up around 10,000. for everything..that's what imhearing..
lil off topic, i was wondering how come no one wants to swap to a k20a3 engine, if its alot cheaper than a k20a2 and you could always put more money into the si engine....I think id be pretty cool to have an si coupe

-redline at 6700 not 8000
-have intake only VTEC, it engages at 2300 and only 1 intake valve is variable
-have Electric assist power steering, where as the K20A2 and K20A has Hydraulic assist, which we also have
-Automatics are not as fun as 6 speeds
-The swap still costs the same excluding the difference in engine costs... so the extra 40 or 60 HP is worth it.

Rep Power: 424 In the EXTREMELY rare event that the bell housings are identical, which I don't think they would be because the engines sit on opposite sides of the engine bay, consequently the transmissions sit on opposite sides of the engine, it might be possible. But the cards are against you on this one. You'd also have to fool the Civic ECU into thinking the car has sport shift, since you need the D17 engine management. You might as well just put the motor in too, because it would be a biznatch to swap just the tranny if it were even possible.
