Yeah, I don't know what there is to do on the EF versus other chassis. I'm about $11,000 deep into my swap right now, I have all the parts ready to go in.

But I also went the route of the hybrid K24/K20A so it was a little spendier.

Just depends on the budget I guess.

H22's are not heavy...
K20 is different... Awesome IMO

What are you wanting to get out of this car?

Drag?
Autocross?
Track car?
Daily driver?

You and everyone else. Here is something to think about:

"traction problem"

A ten second street car is an unrealistic beginning goal. A K-swap isn't much better. Start with a B18A1 swap and work your way up.

H22's aren't heavy....in an EG, EK or an Accord.

In an EF chassis, you feel the weight. It's several hundred pounds heavier than a stock D-Series. A couple hundred pounds added to a car that weighs barely over 2000 pounds, that's almost a 10% weight gain, and it's all up front.

You'll feel it.

If he wants to have a 10-second hatch and has the pockets for it, then there is no such thing as an unrealistic beginning goal. You need a good platform to start off with.

Which model RSX is it? Because not all Ks are worth swapping... The base model namely with the K20A3... They only have 160HP which is the same amount as a B16A for half the price... Granted the A3 has way more torque, but still dosnt make the swap worth it...
