Hi,
westerday i go to a performance shop to know de price of a k20a3 complete swap. 3700 plus tax
and a turbo d17 is 3500 plus tax
But turbo don't include a performance clutch and a dont know how many time will last my clutch if go turbo.

i hesite between these two option because the price is almost the same and it's in my budget.

Thank to give me comment and your opinion.

if reliability is an issue, im pretty sure k20a3 is better. but dont quote me on it

well a d17 turbo would beat a stock k20a3 performance wise even only on low boost like 5psi, and your clutch would be fine. But the k20 has more possobilities and more reliable, I would go k20 imo speaking form a guy who is already done turbo and nitrious on thier d17.

i love boost more, but if i had had the option of doing a motor swap for the same cost of turbo, i wouldve done a k swap any day of the week. Your clutch will do just fine if you dont beat on it that much. Mine is holding up surprisingly well, but im saving money to get a new one towards the end of summer.

coming from a person that has done it all... k20 all the way

so much more potential with the k.

with the price being around the same its an easy choice.

are u kidding me... the k20a & a2 will take a boosted D17 anytime. Not so sure about a k20a3. I have the k20a and I took S2K's and SRT-4's.. so he shouldnt have any problem with the boosted D17.. Sorry I had to say that.

then explain how wednesday my buddy ran a 13.7 quarter mile at the the track and his car is all stock right now. srt-4's a fast man don't underestimate them..... just as fast as an evo

Depends man, if u just want a fast car go turbo u wont regret it. If u want to go really fast boost the a3 better yet get the a2. For a daily driving car i would go boost but for a pure race car go for the a3 or a2

not always true... yes a k20 can take a boosted d17.. but it is also true the other way around... it all depends on how much boost the d17 is pushing... now if comparing the 2 is like apple and oranges... in nhra u dont see turbo cars racing n/a cars... there all all seperated into categories...

now all motor k20 versus all motor d17 obviously u know who is going to win
now turbo k20 versus turbo d17 is no contest....

the only way for a d17 to keep up with a k20 is to go turbo d17... thats the only way a d17 can beat a stock k20...

now all a k20 gotta do is make some mild modifications and its will be up there with a high boost d17..

on the other hand.. once a k20 goes boost there is no contest there... lol
