if you're seriously thinking about this don't go for a type-s engine. You can easily get that power from the Comptech upgrades. Spend the money doing something special.... like getting a turbo in there and seriously smoking a CL-S. Then you can let us know exactly what you did and we can do it too

You dont need a Type-S engine...
If you have the money to pay for the labor... or the skills to do it yourself.
All you need is the different Trottle Body, Intake Manifold, and the Type-S has lighter pistons or sleeves or something like that.
Then you just needa upgrade your exhaust system... and voila. You got yourself a Type-S.
If you were smart though... you would save yourslef a whole bunch of dough and just get a CL or TL Type-S from the factory. Along with the speed you would get a tighter chassis... and all the tiny goodies that come along with the 01 CL and 02 TL territory.

If you did, the Type-S also has a slighty different Tranny.
With the amount of money you're lookin at...I'd use it as a down payment on a S4.
