just swap it out. you gotta bluid alot on the d17 and spend more money than everything for the swap, just to have equal or less hp.

SHAMELESS PLUG OR GOOD ADVICE, YOU DECIDE:

You should just buy my turbo kit. It will be cheaper, faster and easier than any of those other choices. Oh, and less down-time for your car while it's being installed.

K20 vs D17. no contest.
K20A or A2 is nice, A if you have a little more money and want something hardcore JDM with LSD...mmmm...
Or, with the money your going to invest in parts and labour and time, you can put a down payment on a faster car..

Just do the K20A3 swap, 2000 at the most for a complete K20A3 swap. Labor will come out to $1000 for the swap. $500 for auto to manual conversion.

you better have about 7400 lined up to do it, if your going to do it. I hate posers who are all talk and are like "Dude that would be bad As$ to do this." Just Do It! dont ask! I have no regrets!

K20A is the best choise unless you do a k20A2 with a K20A Tranny/lsd and a kpro.

K20TXEM2 is giving you an accurate price for the cost of his type r swap. I am giving you the exact price for the K20A3 swap, because thats what it cost me to buy that motor and the exact price for the swap I got from Hybrid Racing. www.hybrid-racing.com Then I went with a different setup, so naturally the swap is running me more money.
