hey guys and gals....i have an 02 ex coupe and wanna change it up now that its paid off....I see a lot of you like the k20a3, but it seems that the k20a2 would be better for h.p and everyday driving....I dunno what's your opinions about which would be a better buy for boosting and everyday driving? I have the idea of putting a k20a2 into my civ, then either an HKS or Greddy Turbo Kit...if I go HKS I want the F-CON V tuning... if i'm going k20a2 i don't want the basic I/H/E, hell I did that with my stock....if your going to swap may as well go all the way.....another question is I have searched and searched and can't really find anyone who knows how to do a swap and add a turbo kit here in N.C at a decent cost!?! I would be willing to travel to Tn, Ga, Va, if I have to, to get this done....any suggestions of mechanics would be apprecitated... if any of you are really savy I could use a list of what I DO NOT need for the K20a2 swap if I"m going to turbo it..i read the FAQ and DIY and i can't figure out what I won't need.....thanks for any advice....plz refrain from putting use the search on a reply, I would rather you just exit this posting then that....thanx

thanx...I just looked at club rsx and it seems the most popular turbo kit, is from cybernation...only problem with a lot of h.p is I still have to pass emissions and I have noise ordinances so I can't really get rid of a cat for a race header...cops are pretty **** around asheville...anyhow, does anyone out there have a mechanic or shop that has done a swap like this and is experienced at doing it? suggestions or referalls would be great..ttyl

I am in NC as well. the HKS F-con is a good system you just need a tuner who knows how to use the HKS system. Because you would have better luck finding the tooth fairy than have help from HKS.
