Has it been done before and what type of work would be needed? Whats a good website for information on honda engines what would be the best engine to drop in it?
Hey whats wrong with asking I mean the honda engines or most of them do put out more power like the rsx type-s puts out 200 hp stock...... and what sign?

for power my friend I would put a 20v in but thats to much money and not enough power out of it!!! the reason im asking is hondas are so damn common it wouldnt be so hard to get an engine and other components!
Why would I want a Honda motor in my Toyota when I could drop a 20V 4AGE or a 3SGTE in my car?? If I wanted to see VTEC under my hood, I'd go buy a Civic or an Integra.
Cuz hondas look ugly but ill admit they have some power wouldnt you want toyota looks and raw honda power? Wouldnt you want to hear that vtec open up hey wat about a celica gt-s engine would that be a possibility although they are rare?
Power where?? a 20V is basically the equivalent of a B16, and you're saying you wouldn't go with a 20V because they're too expensive?? how much you think a B16/B18 swap will cost you??? I remember seeing B16s and B18s for sale in Toronto for like $4500 not including install.. so paying $1500 for a 20V plus install is too much, like I said you might as well buy a Honda.
You could probably get just the motor for about $600-800 but complete you're looking at about $1500-2100 depending on the shop. I believe the axles work from the 16V to the 20V. I would rather get the 5spd than the 6spd though.
you already have a 4age... why don't you just put some money into it? rather then buy a whole new engine. From what I have been told the 20 valve's aftermarket parts are hard to find. If your after power so much shove a supercharger or turbo onto that engine... Maybe better injectors and/or better cams. Better valves and springs and so on.
And no I don't want to hear the vtec opening up if I am sitting in my ae92 :p
The thing is i dont want a supercharger or turbo id like to keep things simple in other words n/a i dont want to go all crazy and twin charge it or anything, but i dont have the money to do anything right now, the reason im kinda thinkin about the 20v 4age right now is cuz of the 6 speed tranny and i from what ive seen looking at those ae86s and those newer ae101/102/111 truenos and levins doesnt look like much of an abundance of after market parts although they are probably hard to find in north america but im sure theres some places that will ship parts over? Also when i decide to start getting serious on tuning my ae92 im going to need a new engine an engine with 237000 kms just isnt reliable when your looking for performance although it does have years of life left in it, it wont last long in racing conditions or if you start putting lots of pressure on the engine something will go....
