Biggest engine - none.
Sell the RS and get a GSX/TSI AWD.

Nothing unless he wants to spend massive ammounts of money and labor on doing something custom. DSM"S only have 1 engine swap available, and it's only for the turbo model cars.

What do you mean the biggest he can fit? Are you talking physically:lol: because just about anything will fit then, or in terms of what his motor will handle? Turbo'n a 420a is no small task, check out www.hahnracecraft.com for more info

Is it just me or are people making a bunch of "will this fit in my car" threads. Please use the search button. There is nothing you can "swap in" besides another n/a motor.

Maybe people should research BEFORE they go buy a car.

Yeah, there's been lots of "newbie" threads going on lately. Spring is coming and people are buying their toy cars now. Their winter beaters are becoming useless and they now got some money for their toys. Think about it.

:lol: Yeah, he should do a twin engine car. Drop a V8 in AND the 13b rotary. Shit, you could just use the 13b to spool one giant turbo on the V8.
I actually saw an integra with a viper engine in it once...
You're just about boned if you want to make that RS fast. Unless you lay down huge, you wont get very far. Search button is your friend unless you like getting flamed, good luck with your DSM, and welcome to AF.

Hey, lets not start with the slow 420a. I've been proving you people wrong (kinda). Once I get some numbers in here, I'll be the man around here! I'll be the Kevin of the 420a. hahaha. Just kidding. I love you all.

Tell your friend to save about $1000 and get the turbo parts seperatly. If you are lucky it will even coast to less then that to turbo that RS. Slap em on and you are ready to go. I bet though he will be doing a engine rebuild if he wants to hear that turbo spool every time. Usually 420a RS engines that are turboed last pretty long.
Good luck
Good luck
