Reliability with k20a2

how has your car been running and have u been having to continuously fix it and put tiny things that end up costing a nice amount of money after a while or has it been pretty reliable....im plannin on doing it soon cuz my car had a lil flood damage a month ago n its just been throwing tons of codes n driving like ****..im gonna go ahead and think its just like another honda, reliable n long lasting....but has anybody really had any big problems that occur in short periods of time...and the biggest question is it really worth it?

only way a swap is unrealiable is if it is not done correctly, wiring something, something not installed correctly, other than that it should be like an rsx in a civic body

Its should definetly be reliable but aslong as you take good care of it and have been using good quality parts in your swap. Maintenance is always important

if done properly. like everyone says... wiring and all the right parts.

Then your reliability will be just as good as if it came from the factory in our cars.
