I am gettin ready to do the swap and the cost of the engine, tranny, etc. will be $5500 plus shipping. I am getting it from Honda-Acura Parts in Sacramento. Still waiting to find out install costs. Plus the costs of upgrading the clutch/flywheel.

Just get one from a local junk yard to avoid the high shipping costs. Straight up just get a phone book and start calling junk yards around your area.
BTW: have you purchased the hasport conversion harness yet? If so PM me please.

Rep Power: 379 whats up with this stuff having shops do the swap, if your gonna sup up a car do it yourself, if not don't claim that "i did it" or going to be doing it" say that the shop did it or is doing it. your not really doing it just paying for it.

Rep Power: 379 you don't really need an rsx subframe you can always make your own rig up, but its just easier and probably cheaper than makeing one. atleast in this swap. in our crx h22 swap we made all of our own stuff(mounts,frame,axels)

)Other benefits, the TSX dropout is cheaper, and you dont have to remove the head or any of that ****.
The one thing youll need is an rsx throttle body.
Hope that helps.
I learned the hard way. I bought my k20a2 and then wanted to do the k24 bottom end. Then i realized i should have just went with the tsx.

ok, i fixed my post.....i meant k24a2 (tsx) block, k20a2 (rsx-s) head, and the rsx-s 6 spd tranny.
K20A2 – US spec RSX type S motor
• 200 HP@7400 rpm
• Torque 142 lb/ft @ 6000 rpm
• Redline 8100 RPMS
K24A2 – US spec TSX motor
• 200 HP@6800 rpm
• Torque 166 lb/ft @ 4500 rpm
• Redline 7100 RPMS
my swap (if i decide to do it in the future) will torque quicker and still have a mean redline to wind up to. thats why im thinking this route over the entire k24
