160hp... no tranny, no alternator, no ecu, no harness, no power steering no axles, no nothing.... just the " Head and the block. Accessories are not included" idk, i'd just save up for the K20a2 and get it from another site. u would get tired of the 160hp knowing theres a 200hp beast out there

edit: he doesn't even post the mileage.. im guessing the 40k??

Re: Looks good to me...

Hmmm, I don't know about the engine. Doesn't come with a thing aside from the head, block, pulleys, and oil pan really. You'd have to source everything else which will add up the price in a big hurry. No ECU, no harness, probably no manifolds or TB either. I wouldn't buy it.

But did you see the head studs he's offering that will fit our D17s? They are for the D16Z6, which is the same as the ARPs that fit our vehicles. I'm not too sure personally though. I think I may cough up the extra $30 just to have the piece of mind with the ARPs. They're a known, quality, brand. Not "Rowenspeeds" or whatever the hell this guy is marketing his as.

Re: Looks good to me...

thats not a good deal, the tranny will cost you at least 600 more the ecu 200 or so, adn the rest of the parts will add up very quickly too.

Re: Looks good to me...

not really but i figure it being a base model and all..theyre probably easier to find and what not. probably more of them exist than the tsx motors or even the type s ones... 20 or so more horespower and i think the displacemtn is higher in the type s and tsx motors so im guessing that would make it worth it? i never really searched i just took an educated guess..lol
