    8) It may not be a bad option if you're needing a new engine.Lots of speed parts availble & mo to come.Used engine & adapter kit would run u between 3-$4,000. plus your blood & sweat.Incredible torque.With the K20a3(160hp) it'll probably do 15second down the 1/4 stock.Use the K20a(220 hp) and mid- 14's.Composimo's CRX wK20a will likely do mid-12's(much lighter car.).Mind you these are with OEM Stock engines.You could pay Composimo 8-$10,000 for a turnkey 1.

    i was thinking of the k20 with the 190 hp. i think the ones that are in the rsx type s.

    Type S= K20A2.Could be 1-$2000 more than the 160 hp(K20A3).

    My cousin and I wanted to go with K swap in are wagons. Maybe the first wagons in the eastcoast at least with K swaps. Great motor swap but it just too expensive for our pockets right now. I'd like to see one done though. Mad props and keep us posted if you go K.

    i am going to go with the K20A2, which is the rsx-s motor with the 6 speed gearbox. I am still going to have trouble with the hood closing is what everyone tells me, so i might have to get a hood made for a wagon, has anyone evr done this. I know wagon hoods are different, so i guess i need to call an aftermarket body place and have them make one. let me know what you guys think.

    SiWagon mentioned that the CRX bonnet is pretty close, maybe you could get one of those modded to fit?

    There was a guy that did a K20a in aCRX that stuck up above the hood about 2"(50mm).Ask Hasport since they have the kit if it needs a JDM type hood.I think the wagon actually has more hood clearence.Or call ComposiMo at this link:http://www.hondacivicwagon.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=159
    I pretty sure u don't need a hood.
