OR swap a K20A engine. can some body tell me about the price for the k20 ENGINE and labor for swap engine , thx

The cam gear will not do much at all. Many be like 1whp at that. It will cost you around $8,000 for the K20A2 swap.

$8000 for the swap??? more like $12000... remember all the parts you gotta buy and extensive labor.

Yeah, that was like last year when it was first done. It's sad both of you aren't up to date.

You could find the engine as cheap as 3k to as much as 4k used. Labor is 1-2k which is 1/2 the price you guestimated.

I have the cam gear, it sucks with stock camshaft...
It does nothing at all...just wait for aftermarket camshaft and valve springs...

the cam would work better with say the kms intake manifold right?

 
Rep Power: 0

the cam will do minimal to nothing to your engine right now. The intake has nothing to do with cams

honda wants 8k for a new k20a2. at junkyards you can usually pick one up for 3-4K. hasport makes motormounts and everything else needed. you are looking at about 10-12k depending on whos doing the swap. and depending on a new motor or not.check out honda tuning dec. 2002 issue.

A cam is 50% about intake.

the cam has nothing to do with the intake? that's the first time I ever heard that. a high duration cam is pretty useless without some air filling the cylinders.

I think every mod are inter-related to each others...like getting an intake without H/E may not getting the full power from the intake...or vice-versa...

is it juss the engine u need.. or do u need the tranny as well...most likely you do is my guess..

 
Rep Power: 405

the tranny has to come with the engine, where do people get the notion that engine from a tollalled car don't include the tranny? what other tranny would come or be connected to a k20?

i asked cuz i wondered wouldnt u have to totally change yer interior to accept the placement of the shifter.. or it juss doesnt matter?

 
Rep Power: 369

you're comparing a cam gear with no bolt-on power (gotta tune it, and there's no point tunning it when you got nothing else done)

to a k20a2 swap?

hmm.

and 7-8 grand is the ballpark I guess. its "cheaper" now.

 
Rep Power: 0

I gotta say yes and no to that. Yes, because you can still use the cam to shift the power band a bit. No, if thats your only mod. You should do your intake as first mod always. I've founded that your car runs "hotter" if you don't. Thats if you do e/h first.

wtf man your on crack 2550 for an rsx engine if you know where to get one and 1200 for labor plus axels and si radiator, man that adds up to less than 6-7 grand. your on crack again IMO
