Type-S swap?

Hey guys,
Need some advice, I've been making my car look "clean" but I haven't touch the motor, I just bought a 02 Type-S motor... Looks like it would fit right in...
Picked it up for $540 shipped! Anyways, its only got 70k on it, mines got 130k...
Any major mods? Thanx!
My cars a 2000 model if that helps...

more than liely you'll have to get the type ecu and wngine wiring harness, and you might as well get the gauge cluster.
probably the left and right engine to cabin wiring harness.

im sure fsttyms1 could chime in on this.

threads merged.

I dont think any one has done just that. You will need a different ECU and some different wiring. what all you will need? Only trial and error will know. You will also need to purchase the IMRC actuator and the IMRC control unit for under the dash (unless you decide to try to wire up a RPM switch

It's def doable man, goodl luck with the project, if you can afford it you might as well get yourself a CL-S tranny and do the 6MT swap though.
