Rep Power: 314 you guess? ANY engine can blow up..... there are those that blow up their motors for the sake for learning and experimenting.... and then there are those that just destroy things purposely for no reason.... whats yours?

Get the computer scanned and find out just how high it went. There should be an over rev code that registered. From the sounds of it, you got more than one cylinder out, a compression test will tell you which ones. Have fun with the rebuild.

Yes, ON THE TRACK!Today, I took it in to the dealership. They have to keep it over-night!
It's in overnight due to the SRS light. Apparently there's a malfunction in the seatbelt buckle that wouldn't signal to the SRS unit. It would latch, but not send a signal or whatever to the SRS.

Rep Power: 0 i'm just curious, what motors (that have more power than the D17) can fit into the 7th gen civic other than the K20? 
has anyone swapped with other kinds of engines?

Other motors besides the k20 would be the k24 to swap in.
Though everyone should remember it is 3,400 CAD - about 2,875 US. Still WAY too much for just an engine - especially a D17a2 at that.

Rep Power: 0 quick question, what's the base price of the acura rsx sold at a commercial retailer place?
i'm just wondering if having a civic and spending around $5,000-$10,000 for an swap will still be cheaper than buying the RSX itself but still have the power of an RSX except in a civic....
thanks
