i love the engine swap ....

i would go with lowered compression ratios to 9:1 than using a cybernation stage 3 turbo kit on it...30 psi max on the turbo and would get u about 500 hp

Rep Power: 0 ARE YOU STUPID??? Read back to were I commented on it. Like I said the shop that I called to have the stickers made heard i-vtec and did not ask if it was the correct spelling. I slapped the stickers on and barely looked at em. Next time you ask if someone is stupid make sure you let them know you are the one who might be stupid since you and your family got yourselfs in dept like you told me on AIM last night. You gotta be pretty stupid and careless to go into dept as*****.

i hope you plan to take that mesh out, that intercooler looks so much better than that white crap. make the car all one color. including the grill. and just take out the mesh, but the motor on the other hand, is tight, now how bout internals

Rep Power: 487 by looking at your car i think you are just doing all this motor work as a show thing. to me it seems like your car and you are more concerned with shows and winning them and the motor is just another way to win shows. it just doesnt seem like the kind of car of someone that wants to go fast. if you look at any other car of people that are all into motor and stuff you will see that they dont waste their money on exterior mods, they concentrate on the motor alone that why i think you are just getting the turbo and swap and all for show. and like everyone said you can get equal power and more out of the k20a and turbo, but you choose the jdm one for show cause no one has that and it is more to you. thats just my opinion though.

Rep Power: 0 If you call hasport and talk with Joe Sawyer he will tell you that the reason I spent so much money on the car for the RSX motor is because I was one of the first people to get the JDM motor I had already ordered before hasport even had started on their project car. I contacted him and he said it can be done and that is all I needed to hear. Also I am not getting the motor done for the done. I have been to one car show in my life and I won first place in the civic class at the show. I did not know anyone and nor was I part of any group. I DID THE MOTOR SWAP BECAUSE I WAS TIRED OF BEING SPANKED ON THE HIGHWAY BY NEONS! I like power and speed and that is what I am all about. Also I have had guys and girls say wow to my car at all ages. Also when your ride looks like rice it seems you get all the girls as well and they just love that type-r motor when it opens up.

Rep Power: 0 The Main Thing Is: We Are Not Here To Judge The Exterior I Am Asking What You All Think Of The Motor And Will Keep You Updated On Pics> If I Can Start All Over Again I Would Buy A Blk Civic And Drop My Motor In And Go!! Now When Is Honda Gonna Make A 2005 Civic With The Jdm Motor?? That Would Be A Must See Or A Nice Option Right??
