k20 swap question
educated guess: It would make sense to buy an intake designed for the K20....in honda tuning when they were covering HASPORT's (first to do k20 swap from rsx type-s) swap they have a picture of an injen short ram intake installed on the K20. I have heard this engine has an issue with cold air intakes being able to clear the windshield washer fluid resevoir? However, DC sports has come out with an intake that supposedly is safe for use on the K20A2. Hope this info is correct....good luck with your swap lucky[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Just try to buy intakes that attach to the engine itself and not anything else. The mounting locations might be different if it attaches to the firewall, or the shock towers, or anything else.
Short answer:
Get a Short Ram intake for the RSX-S motor. Such as the Injen one
Not as Short Answer:
The engine bay of our car is the exact same size as the one of the 02 civic Si, and NOT the RSX-S. So with that engine in our engine bay it is thought to be possible to stick the CAI from an 02 Si onto it and have it fit. The one for a RSX-S would not fit from what i hear.

WOW
, this question was the only reason i was loggin in today. i was going to ask the exact same thing but i also wondered what headers would fit??? AND, could one keep their catback? Do the bolts match up to the rsx header or would you have to buy a new one? Thread
