WHY on Earth are you looking for an engine already for an 09 car?

Re: swap for a daily 09 lx sedan

160k is nothing to these cars with basic care.
Sent you a PM

If you want a 2.0 K engine just buy an 06-11 Si. (USA cars, not sure if Canuks got the same deal.)
Probably cheaper than doing a swap the right way, and no hassle with emissions tests for not having the right engine.

If you want a 2.4 K engine, buy a 12 Si or newer.
