Please list any Shops/Garages that do RSX swap.

If anyone knows of a shop actually doing the entire RSX swap please list it and its location/contact info.

It looks like there is enough demand for this type of thing to be done on a professional level. Let's talk hypothetically for a minute- If such a shop did exist I would be very eager to plunk down and PAY someone to oversee the entire job. Imagine being able to drop off the car, hand over the keys, wait a week or so, write a big fat check, and then drive away in your now mustang hungry civic...

If no such shop currently exists, is there any shop with the know how to tackle this type of proposition?

Cybernation Motorsports does it. they have done 3 in the last 4 weeks. Call them and ask for chris. (954) 523-8483 9am-6pm Monday to Saturday. i think final price including everything was like $7000. that includes motor and labor.

no problem, here are the prices i got from them...

The labor to switch motors is between $1300 and $1500.
if you need to buy motor he can get one for around $5K (includes
transmission, computer, wire harness, and axles). You need motor mount kit too (between $600-$650), Battery kit ($50), and if you want turbo kit $3,900.

very nice, I'll have to admit atleast a little jealousy. Quick question: Is that setup good for mid to low 13's?

There's a guy with the cybernation kit running 8-9 psi. His best time with the rsx is 12.79 on slicks. Low 13's on street tires. I'm going to get to the track as soon as I replace my front shocks. I'm looking for high 12's on street tires.

hey, sorry to be off topic, but if yo'ure pushin the 400+ whp like the kit is supposed to give (or maybe that was stage 3 turbo? i dono), it's going to be very hard to get that power to ground with street tires (even tho drag radials will help a little)...it seems like anything more than 300 whp goes into an endless spin through gears, but if you can get low times, all the more to you.

I called Cybernation - they quoted me more - like $2000-3000 JUST FOR LABOR. I was like yeah sure, whatever. Screw that - If I get a swap I'm going to try a different route. Their turbo kits kit @ss, but they are way too overpriced for their services. Go figure though, get featured in a few magazines and get a big head I guess......
