naw i know! and it's not that i don't have the money it's just why would you spend 5000 on a motor and 3000 on install so that you can run low/mid 14's if that lol

4g's for a JDM k20a is pretty good, it came with everything you need too. if i wanted to do a swap instead of boosting i would of been all over this auction.

cost for swap.

Here is what it costs!

RSX JDM FRONT CLIP: $13,000
Sell the dash headlights,fenders,hood and front bumper
and you will have paid about $6,000 for the motor.

Hasport mounts:$695

2001 RSX type S harness is needed: $445
the rsx type s needs to be modified for the civic in order
plug in and vtech pressure switch needs to be removed

Send harness to hasport (civic and RSX type s)
pay for shipping both ways and wiring: $300
with shipping

If you use the JDM ecu you need to have the immobilizer
removed: I wanted an immobilizer so I found a junk yard with
a key,cylinder lock and computer so that the ECU and Key matched
(but it was a type S ecu!) $700

Send ECU to hondata to update to typr r program. Also the hardware in the ECU
that looks for the vtech pressure switch needs to be removed. So there is hardware
mods to the ecu that costs extra.If you don't remove it you will get a check engine light!
$850

RSX Type S o2 sensors: (2x) These are considered the air fuel ratio sensors inlike the civc they cost about $60 for one but the rsx needs Wideband o2s to meet more emissions friendly requirements. Also if you don't use the rsx o2s you will get a check engine light and your engine will dump alot of fuel. RSX o2 sensors: $480

Installation of the motor: $2600

As you can see if you add it the totals that is about what it cost to the swap.

I would buy a s13 and build it long before I would ever do that...

A major waste if you ask me, too much money , too little power, and still fwd....

I don't care thats it's a waste. I want to be different. I am the only dude in CT who did the type r swap. I am tired of a car that is all show no go. The type s has no power but the type r flies. I haven't lost a race yet and took a camero, GTI and BMW 325i

They should be about the same. I think the only real difference in the 2 engine wise is the piston shape. You should be able to turbo it with a type s kit.

How much cheaper do you guys think it would be for just the type-s swap? Reason I ask is 'cause I can get a flont clip of an R or an S for pretty close to the same cost.

Check out my page. The type-s is going to be cheaper then what joedc5 posted. I completed my in november 2002 and it probably only costed around 8000 total. Yeah, i was sponsored so it was a lot cheaper, but now you already know all the parts need so you don't have to waste time buying parts you don't need. The difference in torque between the type-s and R is about 18 pounds and a 20 hp difference. Hondata has a chip out to update the type-s to get these gains. so they claim. Oh well I could go on and on, but the s should be cheaper. And you can turbo both, mine is turbo'd right now. Dyno's will be out soon. But if you want to boost high you will have to replace the pistons. Ages has 9:1 pistons out for the K20 series now.

Thanks for the info bro. I am not trying to build my car for racing so I am still not 100% sure if I am gonna do the swap or just take the easy and cheaper route and go turbo. If i do the turbo then I can install myself but if I do the swap I am going to have to have a shop do it. It will also be a auto lx to standard conversion (which from my understanding the rsx clip will have everything I need for that???). Ahhh, the choices...but k20's look so sweet in our engine bays.

Yo I am in no way hating or anything but besides the swap that car is gross.

If he didn't have a swap and he had like I/H/E on the D17 you guys would all call his car rice and all those other names. But because he has the swap noone says anything about the looks of a car (altezzas and aluminum wing).
