which engine? built engine, or just a stocker k20A-type r or k24/20 frank?
and lastly, anything else that I should know about?

We are running a K20 in our 92 civic rally car.
insurance is based on the chassis, not the motor in the car.
for simplicity sakes, stuff in a stock rsx-s k20 or jdm itr k20. our stock usdm k20 is putting out 204whp and that is more than enough to put a smile on your face.
what else do you need to know? make sure you got a good amount of cash saved up. even with sponsers we spent about a whack of cash on parts and misc shit that was needed to get it up and running. As well, its no weekend swap. Tonnes of things to mod in the engine bay. We were one of the guys with the first k20 swaps in BC and a very early mount set from hybrid racing and it wasnt a drop in swap by any means.
if you are getting a shop to put it in, get someone that knows what they are doing. labour bill on something like that will be up there. couple grand at least. if you are doing it yourself, be patient and have bunch of mechincally inclined friends that you can call on.
good luck. if you have questions or need pics, PM me.
