No offense but there is no way in hell you have the knowledge to do a swap like what you are talking about doing.And unless you have allot of parts lying around and do all the work you are going to be spending a ton of money.

basically yea they are but integra has abit more space in the engine bay... but off that and you right bout the whole swap about the integra i found a article about it the gut spent 27k on it and it still lookd like shit...

And ok i found some things about a s2k 2jz swap and on all of them it claimed that the axle on the s2k only held up to 9psi... so there solution was using a s15 axle.

Besides i found it easier to swap it into a rx7... saving some time...

seriously an ls1 or ls2 swap would be cheaper and or easier. and definitetly lighter. and i though you were talking about puttin ga 2jz into an integra. i've never heard of axle problems in s2k's and people are building them for 400+whp

i think you need to watch the afore mentioned rear wheel drive vette civic video. the guy cant keep it on the road. big horses in a straight line are sweet, but have you considered that a 300+ horse rear wheel drive civic might not be very drivable.

You are unrealistic. Either you are too rich or too dumb. It'll probrably cost more than a new car. Just do something simple that'll get you your bang for your buck. Just turbo charge if you're thinking about high horses.

+1 ls1 in an rx7 or even a 240sx is a badass swap.With a stock ls1 they are capable or high 11's in the 1/4mile.If you are serious about doing a swap like that the ls1 rx7 would be my first choice.You can also buy everything you need for the swap mounts,drivshaft,wiring ect.

Yea i've always wanted to do that swap look up "hinson super cars" they have everything you would need they even do the swaps buts its expensive for them to do it i think its 8k + engine trans and car and so you would be looking at 15k+ to have them do it unless you can get some real good deals on motor trans and car.
