Am i able to swap out my 2.0 N/A for the 2.0 in the Type R?

Not easily. Financially would probably make more sense to just buy a Type R.

i wouldve but i already bought my car and couldn’t afford the Type R. But the Type R engine is only 7600 so i can save up for it. Just need to know if it will fit and work in my car

There's probably at least another $5-7k in adapting it, labour, programming, etc, etc.

There’s a lot more to it than just an engine. ECU, wiring harness, probably turbo, probably intercooler? The list is endless.

If you want a 2.0t, go buy an accord or save for the Type R.

Alternatively, trade for a Civic with the 1.5L turbo. You can then get a tune and make over 200 whp. The type R probably makes in the neighborhood of 270 whp.

I can live with 5-7k getting it setup, but i cant swap my car out or anything im stuck with it for the next 6 years. Also i couldn't afford the Type R and ai cant drive stick (yet). So if anyone can help me out with out saying to swap cars go get a different car will be greatly appreciated

It’s not going to cost you 5-7k. If it were that cheap, everyone would do it. It’ll probably cost you at least 20k when it’s all said and done, because I’m guessing you’re not doing your own fab work, which for something like this, is probably another 5-10k on top of that 20k.

Just drive your car as it is.

So you have a car payment? Best not to rip it apart if the bank owns it? Have another car so you can work on this one for a few months?


Drive it for what it is and buy a 5th or 6th Gen civic and put a Type R motor in that of you must.

Def turbo (bigger turbo on the K20C1) and def intercooler (again, bigger IC), and associated plumbing (bc different IC).

Sensors and everything are different, so wiring harness and ECU are a must

plus anything that's spidered out to the rest of the car that the R has that your LX/Sport coupe/sedan doesn't have, otherwise it'll throw codes and errors out the wazoo. It'll fit, that's for sure, but making it work is a different story.

Swapping my engine for an Si engine is complicated enough, but doable, and that's a 1.5T to a 1.5T. There are a lot of electronics spidered out through cars nowadays that swaps aren't as simple as they were back then.

oh, if you're looking at that K20C1 crate engine that Honda is selling, you have to be part of a race team or something affiliated with Honda Performance Development. They won't just sell them to the general public for street cars. just FYI in case that's the route you were looking at
