rsx-type s motor into 2002 si

[spoonhatch]

ok my friend just bought the type-s motor, 6 speed tranny, and all. he has a 2002 civic si, does anyone know how much modifications are needed to do this swap, or know any links that explain it?

as far as i know it should be a straight swap. thay are basically the same engine, but dont quote me on that.

i will find you a link that has stuff about it, the big thing that is a problem is you have to get the engine out through the bottom and you have to change something to allow for the sixth gear.
