somebody please let me know what it would take to make this thing possible. also what is a motor like that worth with a tranny attached? a guy is offering me one for $1600 - is this a good deal?

dayum..... that car is fuckin sick!

so we know that the motor will fit with some work, but is 1600 a good deal for the motor and the tranny? it seems like a good deal but i'm not really sure on these things

thanks

 

1600? thats a damn good price for a k20 u better buy it..it will just cost more to put the damn thing in..unless you do it yourself..my friend did one, he said its the easiest swap ever if you have everything

 

I'd call it stolen for that price. I think the going rate is about $3k, but don't quote me on that. PM the guys that have them in this section. There are 2 major threads going right now.

 

i'd stay away from the a3. if you want to do a k20 swap, find an a2 or jdm k20a.

 

That's the going price for a k20a3 (EP3 Civic Si or base RSX).

It's a good starting platform, but for what's needed to get it going, you'd be better off with a B Swap. Unless you plan on boosting the A3 motor since it's good for low 300's on stock internals.

good info...... Thanks to everyone that put in any! After reading all this and talking with David from hybrid-racing.com , I've decided on going with a b swap. It will be much cheaper for what I need; I just need a new motor for my daily driver, but want a couple extra hp's.

So all-in-all its not worth it to spend 1600 on the motor and tranny and then spend roughly 4k to get all parts needed for the swap, when I can do a Bxx swap much cheaper and get what I need for my daily driver. If anyone is interested in the K20A3, check it out http://www.hondaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=17593 so this guy can get rid of it.

Also if anyone knows of a Bxx swap with tranny, lemme know........ I'll be looking. Thanks again for all your info!
