My friend got his hands on a wrecked rsx-s engine w/ everything you'd need for a swap. he has a 95 Accord LX, he wants to swap it into his car, (200 hp/ 142 tq). I'm wondering can he actually do this? if he can do it relativley easily I'd like to know. He got everything from the car for $1200. So is this even possible to do cheaply?

 

Possible yes. Cheap, no.

 

he got the full k20a2 swap for how much again :jawdrop:



its possible.. area51 did it in a 6th gen civic for around 10g's h:.. thats including the motor and all the fabricated parts

 

so overal it's 3x as expensive of getting an H22 swaps?

 

oh man ... that would be EXPENSIVE. you're best shot is to drop that engine into an 03 SI.

 

id sell the engine for some money to buy a different engine h:

 

well, seeing as the engine turns the other way... that would be a bitch. Hella fabrication would be needed... and a lot of ducttape!

 

yep, besides the K20 doesn't have as much torque as H22 either.

 

You are right. The new K series engines do spin the other way. The best bet, like the others have already stated, would be drop it in a '01 and up Civic!

 

sell that thing and put the money towards something more useful for your 5th gen.
