Haha are you kidding? WRX's are only like $18,000, well mine was. The swap will cost WAY more than $10,000. The motors alone are around $9,000 alone. Good luck if you want to try this.

I second the "are you kidding?" Damn, besides the $9k for the egine, you're talking about doing everything custom. I doubt you could do this for less than $20k. What could you do with a WRX engine that you couldn't do with a supercharged K20?

Don't get me wrong, it would be a nice car, but too much custom = too many problems.

Just by a cheap WRX.

You'd lose the RWD part of the tranny unless you wanna fab up a tunnel underneath the whole car and redo the entire interior. AWD is the best part about the drivetrain IMO.

I'm gonna swap my d17 into my fathers G35..that way he will get better gas mileage, and I will be able to smoke srt-4's while eating a chimichanga...Save yourself the embarassment before you post such outlandish thoughts on a forum, or u'll recieve a serious lashing.

Several members on this site have the WRX engine swap done. Just search the Forced Induction and Swaps section for more information. Good luck!

If you have the money to do this you shouldn't be driving a civic in the first place.

You'd have to make it a rear engine car. The engine would take up your trunk and back seat. I'd love to see someone actually do that, that would be almost as cool as the twin engine del slo.
