i have a 2003 rsx type s and i want to get a jdm type r engine swap but i dont have much to spend i was wondering what parts do i need for the swap and how much the parts cost?

um let me get this straight ... you have an 03 rsx and want to get a jdm swap.. lol why not get an LSD, some IPS cams and some MEAN ass DTR headers and call it a day .. ?

I must agree with him on that one.You dont need a type-r,just a little work on that motor and you probably would be a lot happier.and if not just strap a bottle to that bitch,tune it and run as hard as you want.Good luck with that project ,and have fun

I guess it's almost a novelty at this point... bragging rights if you will. If you're looking for authenticity, there's no cheap way of doing it. These swaps are still in the 5K range. If you are however to just put in ITR parts such as cams, valve train, valves, IM, tb, valve cover, LSD, FD you will end up spending around 3k in parts and labor. At this point, it almost makes sense to sell your current motor to offset the cost of an ITR swap. From the sound of it, you'll be much happier.

I took a different route though... I went the K24/ITR head route. It just seem to make more sense since it would yield more power and definitely more economical and besides, I'm not the JDM purist type.

honestly my cuz had a type-r in his ep and we all said its not really worth it he wasn't to pleased with it so instead what he did was keep the trans and ecu mated it to a tsx motor tuned it and foohgabout it.

If you're just looking for additional power off of the K20A2, PM me, I 've got the perfect solution for you.

I couldn't give less of a fuck if I had a JDM motor or not. Keep your type S and do what chameeleeon said.

Lol, we should start a club. The USDM Killers. :silly:

[jdmboi008]

if you called yurselves the usdm killers that would have to mean ur on the side of jdm :silly: ...but thats not the point my rsx is my daily driver and i dont want forced induction.I just want a car that i can have fun so i wanted the jdm swap and strap on some toda goodies for power but w/e

I think you should do some more research before you go and buy a type r motor. You might want to use a k24 Block . That would probably give you more of what you are looking for hopefully. that Jdm cartoon was funny .
