Where To Swap?

I'm thinking about possibly swapping a k20a3 into my civic. Does anyone have any recommendations of places to go?

or you could always buy my turbo that comes with stage 2 competition clutch, 8.5flywheel, greddy profec type s boost controller, emanage, rsx injectors, and all the harness's u need :-) probably cost a little bit more then your k20a3 swap, but would be way better

SF turbo kit, hks BOV, rsx injectors, competition stage 2 clutch, competition 8.5lb flywheel, greddy profec type S electronic boost controller, greddy emanage w/ all harness's needed, $4750. I paid alot more for this kit when i originally purchased it. plus with all these extras it add's up. Only problem i had with the turbo was once in a while my injectors would misfire and the CEL would come on, but still runs smooth, i think it's more of a tuning issue. T&T would probably charge u $600 or so to install it.

on a side note, the kit doesn't even have 10,000kms on it yet. installed at about 11,000. car currently has 19000kms. so only 8000kms on it.

I did my swap at Magic Honda in Brooks, Greg did it.
Make sure if you do the swap you do your research.
HASport left out alot of info of parts you need.
If you turbo the K20A2 (like I did) make sure you do alot of the work with the engine out of the car, especially the oil feed line, it's a bitch

There is something about the K20A3 swap that makes it a little more difficult. It could be the wiring harness set up but I am not sure. I remember talking with HASport about it.
The list I have to find but get the back issue in Honda Tuning with the K20 Swap great pics.

The turbo made the swap expensive due to changes in running everything.
Engine, tranny, ECU, subframe, etc. (before all mods) $4600.00
Labor difficult to say but the bill at the end was $8100.00
