Rep Power: 0 That's a pretty good price installed.... but if I were you, if I was going to swap, I would get the type-s motor instead. It'll be more worth while.

Rep Power: 320 I think a full swap with all the parts like hoses and radiator and crap usually goes for like $1500 i think. Just go to k20a.org and just search around. The lowest i ever seen for a k20a3 is $900 and $1500 for toward the higher end.

I picked up my K20a3 Engine Tranny and eCU, axles, for 900 with 17k on it

technically its a jdm type r.. jdm type s..si hybrid...
the block itself is stamped K20A... compression is 11.5:1
thats the only part of it i see being the type r
the head only has vtec on the intake side which is weird..
what makes it weird is the a type R and type S has vtec on both the intake and exhaust cams.... the si doesnt have any... my head on the other hand has it on the intake side only... import tuner came out with an article saying my motor is a jdm type s....
there are so many specualtion to the whole story and you can see it how you want... but it dont really matter cause my block is a K20A with 11.5:1 compression and i have a head that was port and polished with stage 2 cams and new valvetrain ready to be put on the motor...
but when i get a chance to i will scan it in.. its in the november issue..
