S2000 engine swap?

[Redbone]

Anyone ever heard or even thought about using the S2000 engine in a civic? Also, is it actually a possibility or would it not be able to be used with RSX-S trans seeing as the S2000 setup is RWD? Would be sweet to have a 240 horse 4 in my civic and six speed trans!! What do you guys think? Am I insane or what?

oh lord no! the body modifications alone would be a pain in the ass!!

there was a guy that cam into our shop and asked if we could do a S2K motor into his '94 Accord.... John just looked at him and said "ummmm....no"

ur insane....that would be a lot of work to put the engine in, swap a 5 speed for a 6 speed, and do a front to rear wheel conversion....mucho $$. and in the end, u still wouldnt be as fast as an s2k. but it would still be sweet to see someone with the time, money and energy to do it if possible

why do posts like these keep coming up? its amazing.

yes it can be done. no you shouldnt look into doing it. it will cost way to much for almost everyone on this site to even dream of doing.

yeah, i figured as much, that's why I was just throwing it out there to see what people thought LOL!

 

[P0gKai]

^^ i thought about it, then then again it's pretty much pointless.

damn, how many times is this going to come up? like everyone else said, it can be done if you want to custom fab your car for the rest of your life, but you are better off just buying a 2000 if you want the performance.

Next i suspose someone will put a C32 from a NSX into a V6 Accord. So what is that about... 290 hp into an accord. Now that;s insane.

welcome to my world... and everyone wonders why i get pissed when someone doesnt like it when i tell them to do a search...

 

[Zak8022]

lol... its all good. there's always gonna be newbs... and half of them will never even find the search button... or the newbie section... oh well.... such is life.

seems like youve been thinking this through. Measure an S2000 engine. That bastard is probably wider then your d series with the trans. There is a reason the hood is so damn long. Just get a K series if you want to be different.

Good luck with your RWD Mr. Papadakis

I know it's 11 year old topic but better late then never.

My friend swapped an S2000 inside his civic 8th gen and he paid for everything; Engine, tranny and installation 3k. He said the shop he went to did it in 1 day and eventually he crashed the car after driving too fast in highway 70km/h -.- anyways... it's possible, it depend if you're ready to pay for it.
