ill take it easy on you cuz i was a newbie once. theres plenty of info so search for k20 engines on here. with the engine you will also need the mounts, axels, ecu, tranny, all wire harnesses. thats all i can think of right now cuz its late. you should get all that stuff with the engine if its a complete swap. on installation cost its about $7000-$10000 for engine and installation. please search to find more info and welcome to the site.

which I think is a pretty good price, but might cost extra if you have an auto

It's really not that much extra work to change auto to manual if he's gonna do the entire swap. We did an auto to manual swap in an accord when we put an H22 in and it wasnt bad at all.

i just dont understand why u would do a swap this early, even if u had a good 70,000 miles on your car, i still say thats stupid, to go through all that hastle when in reality u could just pay pretty close to the same money and get an RSX-S. The only benefit is you will be alot faster than then they think, id still rather save up for an RSX-S.

I have a 01 auto EX...I plan on getting the K20A swap next year. When I get the motor, do i have to get the pedal assembly, shift linkages, slave cylinder, etc off the RSX DC5 or will any pedal assembly and shift linkages work? I did try searching but i dont see anything on this.
