Default Serious Discussion~ K20a in a dc2

hey guys, I havent been into the integra forums too much latley, but im back....


Ok heres the deal. I currently have a 1995 gsr with 62k that im converting back to stock. I just recently picked up a 1998 gsr with everything but the engine. So as soon as I sell my 95 I will have a good amount of money to drop to get an engine.

I plan to take this car with me to school next year, so its going to have to be reliable. But whatever new engine i get, i plan to hop it up somewhat. Just a mild na setup. So I figured about 3k for a gsr engine plus another 1500 for a mild na setup. Which will get me around 200 hp

Or I can go a different route. Swapping the k20a2 off a type s. Now I seen several pictures of a k20 in a dc2 chassis so i know it can be done, and i have a feeling this will be the "new craze" for the dc/ civic owners.

theres a couple pics for you guys

anyway, ive seen most k20's price range from 3k up to 5k. Plus myself working at a acura dealership fulltime this summer, i may have a connection on one.

you do need alot of misc parts to get it to fit, like
-mounts
-key immobilizer
-misc rad hoses
-ecu harness

The installation would be installed by my mechanical engineer friend, he knows a ton about wiring and such

So what do you guys think?
