rx-7 motor....my friend was going to do it in his 240. Those motors are tiny.

Oooh nice..RX-7s are quick as Hell. But they are small cars, too. Hmm, about how much do you think it would take to do that? Might consider it, but am waning to stick with a Honda brand engine, kind of. But that is possible if I ever get the money, that would be pretty sick.

hey didnt read th whole thread if you do decide that u really want to spend the money on a K20 make sure u do a lil research to figure out which one u want the 02-04 rsx-s have a diff motor then the 05-06 rsx-s they are just bout the same except the 05-06 have a lil different gearing in the tranny and they make a lil more horsepower but yea lol not really major diff

I'll have plenty of time to research and ask questions, as I do not even have a job yet and am still in high school. Am trying to find a job, though.

i know you want to be unique man, but i think honda is the wrong place to be. I'm pretty sure most people buy hondas because they are cheap and parts for their cars can be had for cheap. Honestly, its going to be a lot tougher than you think to be unique w/ a honda. And rotary swaps and stuff like that aren't going to happen w/o some crazy unbelievable price tag.

Yeah, true. Lol I did get the Honda cause they are nice and reliable, parts are easy to find, etc. But now I wanna b unique with it, lol. I am gonna see if I can have a sunroof put in it cause I don't think the sedans have them do they? Mine didn't, at least, lol.

not to be mean but i know u wana be unique but as of right now u dont have a job and ur in highschool being "unique" will cost a pretty penny i think u should just shoot for an affordable motor swap that will be more realistic cuz i doubt u will get exactly the highest paying job. Not trying to be mean but i am just more or less being a little more realistic. But if u want to try some insane rx-7 motor swap or w/e good luck. I mean if u want to be more unique then make a K24 Frankenstein swap

If you just want to go fast then well, you can build and turbo about almost any d,b,h,f, or k series motor honda makes. Some cheaper then others. Being a fast honda sounds unique enough to me.
