yahh i would but its so expensive i can't find one for anything less than 4000 dollars and i just dont have that much bank.
what type of engine would you recommend other than the K20A??
The K20a3 out of the Base RSX/Civic Si are pretty slow as they have the Vtec-E Style Heads. A Good B20vtec will beat them, Hell my D16z6 on the Bottle beats them.
I Recommend a B20vtec. It can be done for much less then a Good K Series, and the Wiring is alot easier. There is a Good DIY on how to Make a Reliable B20vtec. Make sure you and read and follow it if you want your Engine to survive.
Another Route to go is to Turbo Charge or Nitrous your D16 in your Civic now. I spent 400 for my Base Wet Nitrous Kit Online. Tuned it myself after learning how to(Check nitrous forum) Mixed with Basic I/H/E and my Car Pulls Hard, Expecally for a Fat Pig EX Coupe with all the toys.
Turbo Setups can be done for Cheap if you know what your doing. They also make good power. I like the fact I have a car that gets 30-34mpg in town driving and when I want to still be able to smash like hell when I open up the bottle. Turbos get good fuel economy when they are babied, But I still love the Simplicity of my Nitrous Kit.
If you don't have much Bank and want to race, I recommend a JDM D15b or ZC, Get a Stage 3 or 4 Racing Clutch, and put it on the EX/Si Tranny and Nitrous it. Get a Good tune and this setup will spank most of the swapped cars and then some.
