How much $$$ for your swap
For all those out there who have done a k swap how much did you pay. I found a shop that'll do an A3 for $5,000 for everything. Yes I know everything front clip, axles subframe, mounts, ecu, labor. I think I'm gonna go for it, and yes and an A3 is fine for now. Greddy turbo later, with some internals too. thanks

Right now my swap is gonna run me about 7500 total.
400 for subframe
600 for mounts
4800 for K20a
1500 for labor
then another 1000 if I go ahead and do Hondata's programmable ECU.

Rep Power: 607 just curious to why only a a3? If you are gonna spend the money for boost and internals.....you might as well buy the a2. And if you have the spare money......build up the bottom end b4 swap, that way you don't have to pay someone again to rip it out and put it back in.
And if you are gonna boost that motor, i would go with the cybernation kit.

just curious to why only a a3?
Well th eupfront costs are gonna be cheaper for now. Also i was planning on taking my time building this up and hopefully doing most of teh rest my self. The A2 would be a better motor but just can't come up with that much coin
