Probably. The K20C4 from the accord has been put into an Si.

Yes, but there’s a lot more involved than drag and drop. New transmission, ecu, brackets,

Plus, you’d have to swap out some suspension components to get the trackability of the CTR.

New custom axles as well. I think that's the most expensive bit.

So there's a guy parting out the Type R, car is intact, there was a small fire inside the car, left side was damaged. Other then the engine & transmission, what else should I buy from the Type R to retrofit into the LX?

Really hard to say. Ask AAPerformance on instagram. I would guess maybe the subframe, I think you need some custom work down there along with the axles. Wiring harness? Motor mounts to modify?

I wonder if you'd be better off buying the burnt Type R and building that instead.

Does the Type R have a bigger fuel pump? Need some of the interior bits for extra buttons, plus the wiring.
