if it was me. i would swap in a k20a2 from an acura rsx type s. but your looking at around 5500 dolars for the engine and the manual 6speed tranny and everything that goes along with it. wen u swap in the manual tranny all u have to do is hook up clutch pedal and lines and the shifter assembly and some wires. and ur good to go.

If you have a 00 SI your car should already be equipped with a B16. If your funds allow it, you should get a K series swap. K24 would be the best motor for your chassis since its a heavier model. You can pick up a K24a4 for about 600-1000 dollars and would just need to buy the mounts and stuff to do the swap.
