I dont know if there is really a "going" price yet sense they are still pretty new and not too many have had accidents. I would suggest check e-bay. The last one i saw was like 3-6 grandish i think, but dont hold me to that price.

i believe htown paid around 6k +/- for his Type S engine...there was a base on ebay for 1200 which ended with no buyers.

Plus you still have to figure in the price of labor, this hasnt been done yet, therfore no 1/4 times, look at RSX times. Not a good question to ask for a noob...

I got my K20A2 for $5500. A great deal, considering the engine is practically brand new (3800 miles). Labor should be between $1500-2000, and will be offset considerably when I sell the engine. Greenleaf Auto has already offered me $1500 for the old engine.

I knew a guy who did it to his Integra - I think it cost around $2-3k total.
