a question for the swap guys

if you where able to take what you wanted from the rsx you where pulling the engine from what would you get? besides the obvious that is in the swap faq. will the rsx cruise controll work? also i am mounting the battery in the engine compartment. just made a deal for an k20a2 swap local.

you can use your own cruise control

wat would I get? I'd take everything. motors, harnesses, ecu, subframe, axles [sell them], brake booster, master cylinder, both o2 sensors [very expensive], front rsx motor mount.

a/c parts need to be from an ep3 though ... need d17 condensor, rsx compressor [should already have it w/ the motor]

about time oscar. ;P

You can also use the type S condenser, either way you will have to make a custom line. My thought is to use the type S condenser and make a custom line from the D17 dryer to the condenser vs. making a line from the rsx compressor that goes all the way to the oposite side condenser. Also you can use the type S radiator. Some say that it fits right in, well this must be year specific (I am thinking it may have somthing to do with the change from 03 to 04) becuase on my 04 I did have to cut about 1/2" of a inside frame piece to get it to fit. It really was not that big of a deal, but even after it took some work to get into place.

Get the Power steering lines, atleast the one that bolts up to the compresor, becuase this fitting is different.
