Use the K20a3 or K20a2 intermediate shaft (they are the same). The thing that is different are the drive shafts. You can use the 02-03 Si drive shafts (4 lug shafts) or you can just buy new from Hasport. I chose the latter because of how hard it is to find the Si shafts.

No different than any other, I would recomend installing a tach to get the most out of the 8k rpms

sorry its a 04 vp no tack can i switch the cluster? and I found a K20Z1 for$3000 Is that something I sould look into?

[EMK20a2]

The K20z1 is a more difficult swap than the a2, but it has been done. There are just more chanllenges with the wiring that with the a2. IMO I would stick with the a2, and 3k sounds pretty cheap I would be skeptical.

[NastyNunez]

the one about what type of universal fuel line you used on your swap.

[EMK20a2]

I just bought fuel line at autozone and used small hose clamps to hold it on.
