problem picking wich engine to swap

Hi guys. anyway i do not know anything about a swap. all i know it's changing engine. i don't know the tech about it. anyway. I was just wondering which engine that i can get with the most HP and yet i can still save my AC/Cruise control. and power steering. basicly i want a swap without losing any of my parts. thanks.

everyone will say get a k20a or k20a2 because of the availability of aftermarket and their stock power. I'd say get a k20a3 (the cheap one out of the Si b/c it already has a typeS intake manifold) get some Raz cams and Hondata. That'll get you 170whp. You should be able to smoke a stock type S with that. If money's no object get the K20a, Toda cams, race header and intake, that'll net you 220-230whp at around 8800 RPMs.

k20a type r k20a2 type s k20a3 Civic si or base rsx k24 accord or Tsx i think those are what your choices are i would go with k20a2 no matter what second option would have to be k24 then the k20a3 last choice would have to be the type r

get a k24a2 swap, you will not lose any of those options as long as you keep the swaped items. put some ips cams and ur set with hondata...

you can have ps and ac and cruise, just swap those over... you can't use your d17 ones...
