Default Idea :idea:

anybody know anything about hondas?



i do and i was thinkin what if we could get a k20(rsx) into a scion.. they both have the same setup and appear to be the same size. this would be much better than a celica motor( cause they suck) and k20 can hold boost pretty good.

Imm gunna take a look at my buddys rsx today and look at the dimensions and how everything sits. then ill throw the idea at hasport or place racing and see what they can do.

what do yall think?

i don't think it's dumb. people have been cross breeding cars for years. plus honda makes good motors. why is it such a bad idea? i'm not a big honda fan, but i still don't think it's a dumb idea. plus with a curb weight some 370 pounds lighter than an rsx the xB is already that much farther ahead :D

i say, more power to ya WYT R1CE

Why would you waste your time doing all kinds of hellish custom fabrication to drop the Honda motor when you can spend a weekend swapping in a Celica GT-S engine?

EDIT: or if you want more torque, a Celica GT engine with the TRD supercharger.

From my previous thread I still think anyone that backs this idea has something wrong in the head......this thread is giving a bad reputation to us....if I wanted a car with a Honda engine...I would buy a Honda its as simple as that

People like to talk a good game but I wanna see someone actually cut up their $15,000 box and throw $3,000 - ???? in it to get an extra touch of power. Not to mention the potential DMV and smog nightmares.

Why not go for it and mount a nice V-8 right behind the front seats powering a rear axle?

I used to have a Hot Wheel that was modded that way so it CAN be done...

Speed is just a question of MONEY, How fast do you want to go?

I'll believe all the engine swap talk when I see someone do it, it's smooth to do and worth all the trouble. Til then its all just crack smokin talk to me.

No no no...since we're supposed to stick with the same make why don't you take an AWD bB drive train, hack the f#*k out of it so that a 1UZFE (sc400 V8 ) will fit...WA LAH V8 toyota powerd box :twisted:
