Hmmmmmmmmmmm. K20Z3?

Most people swap in a K20A2. You will likely run into more compatibility issues with this engine but it should be fairly similar. What are you going to run for ECU?

I'd cut the hood to be honest.. How far out are you?

Here read this and see what it says about the power steering pulley. He had to cut his too.

There really aren't a lot of ECUs that WILL work with the setup that you have. In fact I only know of one:

But you need to make sure that it's the right model etc. I don't want to steer you the wrong way CONFIRM it will work before you buy.
