k20a2 at acura?

Since u never know what condition a used k20a2 or k20a mtr u buy from the internet or junkyard is in wouldnt it be smart to just go to any acura delarship and buy a new type-s mtr from them. I heard from other sites that they sell them? Is this true? And would it come with a tranny too?

well here in my area acura/honda will only warranty the motor that was originally meant for the car... and they will only warranty the mototr if they install the motor into the original car and not a hybrid.. if you bought a motor from acura/honda here in my area they will not warranty it... and the dealers here will not install any aftermarket part not made by honda/acura

you honestly want to know how much a new type s motor would be from acura? Well let me put it to you like this, autozone can get them for $8000 brand new, so expect to be paying over $10,000 from the dealer on a new type s engine. That isnt bullshit either, dealers arent cheap when it comes to any part.

In a way it is smart because it will be brand new, but it would be rediculious to pay that amount for an engine. Might as well buy a rsx if you want to spend that kind of money.

I always hear the term, "Hybrid". What does this mean? And im thinking buying a new engine would be the way to go, bc u find some in yards for like 5-6K with like 30K++ miles on it, and u dont no what u really getting.

I think a brand new k20a2 with tranny runs for $13000 + tax and other fees...i saw it in a magazine. forgot which one, but they had a brand new k20a2 turboed in a sedan. But why would you want to buy a new one when you can get a used for half the price, also why would you even spend that much money on a civic when you can get an s2k or something better...

^^I bet you I could definitely get it to hit low 13's if not 12's with a simple 75 shot Plus, a RELIABLE, daily driven, mid 14 second civic is nothing to complain about IMO.
