Im in the prcess of getting the K20A ('02 JDM Honda Integra) im actually getting my Honda Dealership to swap it with me, i keep all warranties on the car if i have them assist, and the sponsership i have with them lowers the price but any race shop should be able to do it. Ask around your surrounding area

There should be some shops that i'll do it for you in cali if you don't find any maybe you should check out the SoCal forum and ask around there. Congrats on gettin the K20 and the only member with a complete k series swap is htowncivic, venomscivic and mugenracerx are in the process of dropping a k20a into venom's 7th gen.

Type S swap is around 3500+ if you know the right people

for the K20A (Type R) the engine and tranny ecu etc. will run about 6 to 8k depending on the milage and who you buy from and the swap itself depends on the shop you get it done at. Its not a cheap swap but when you compare the numbers youll be at i thinkits well worth it. 220Hp

yeah 6 to 8 k for the motor. figure another 2gs for mis parts and labor. so 8 to 10gs for 220 hp.
witch in our car we will most def not get those numbers to the wheels. you would be lucky if you see 180.of coruse theres always room for improvement with more money spent.
so sure 10gs for a 53 hp gain. i say go for it. or you could send me your money if you want.
i say wait a year or two. shops will become more familar with the swap and prices will drop way down.

YYYYEEAH.... don't be fooled you can get everything you need for a Type-R swap for around 3K.... take a look on ebay fella's you might be surprised. The only additional cost is labor, and shipping.

Matter of fact:

So Your saying that if we did the type R swap or S that we wouldnt see the gains that the rsx have. We would be just as fast as an rsx if not a little faster.
