a lil more power???? a k20a will give you great power and yes it will be worth it and k-series is only gettin better.... ask around or search because some people have done it and you should ask them. 1000 seems like a scam for a k20a mtr

he said a K20a3 which is the base RSX/civic si motor.

i think as of now the K20a3 is a good option since it is a lot cheaper than the a and a2.
id rather turbo than get the K20a3. the a and a2 are different stories.

i would always rather have N/A powerband then a lagging turbo in my city, the weather is always changing in calgary, one day it sunny hot, and next its COOLLLLDDDDD and snowy, hehe, so K20A is a good option, but really its just too hard to save that kind of cash for the A2! so i would sayyyy f the K20A3 and just boost the B*TCH

the cost of swaping a k20a3 and a k20a2 is the same and costly. If your gonna spend that much money to swap then it'll be better to save for a k20a2. the 40hp is huge then again 127 to 160 is huge as well. i think u should ask yourself if you want it now or wait till you can afford a k20a2. I've seen k20a2's go as low as 3k, so its up to u

k20a3 is good if u plan on boosting it.

xproductionz · 12-09-2004

well.. take this into consideration and i already have parts coming in to do it..i am swapping in a k20a3..i also have a k20a2 head which is the type S coming in... basically the only differnece between the a3 and the a2 is the head.. the a3 has 2 intake lobes and 1 exhaust while the a2 head has 2 intake lobes and 2 exhaust lobes..so if you can find a cheap k20a3 then down the line swap out the head.. i have seen the a2 heads go for as cheap as 500.. but if u want to build your head find a k20a2 head without the internal parts which should be around 100-200 as i have found... then go buy some skunk2 cams and valves and springs and retainers and all that good stuff

i know he said k20a3 mtr u CAN make them quick

cordeez · 12-09-2004

no i dont think so

xproductionz · 12-09-2004

the last 2 posts of you guys up there didnt make any sense

Sup3rMariO · 07-12-2005

so the only difference is that one exaust lobe? how does that make such a difference in the a3 and a2?

Personally I think it is definately worth it. And anyone intersted in doing a K20A3 swap, can buy mine for cheap with an itr six speed transmission.

Hey i have a A3 out of a base RSX and i love it, I just made up for not buying the type S by turboing the A3. Its a very good motor and has lots of potitential.
