    you'd probably be better off buying an s2000.

    It's been done by several people. The ones I talked to said it was slower than other cars and handled worse than it did FWD.

    Your car's chassis and springrates are designed for FWD. You'd be a lot faster with a lot less headache/money if you stayed FWD.

    A civic with an f20c won't be as fast as an s2k and will definately not handle nearly as well. The s2000 was designed with specifications to the hundredth of a pound. It's an engineering feat. Honda got the f20c placement right the first time.

    Yea and Re-wiring the car will be the real bitch of the swap imo, cool swap yes, but not the real results your looking for. But your aware of tons of other, cheaper swaps to come by or most of every one's favorite "FORCED INDUCTION" (Godly voice)

    K-series in the back would probably be easier and cheaper -- no guarantee on handling though.

    Nearly stock K20a2 in an Elise, 0-60 in 3.7 seconds...

    I want to do an NSX with a built turbo K-series
