Rep Power: 0 is it worth swapping the a3 in instead of the a2? the cost of the engine would be much less, but the power would also be much less. but lets say you want to go 200hp n/a? so i mean, a2 would obviously get you there, but the lower price of the a3 would be better with just a few mods no?

hello 7thgen members. i have done much research and am interested in swapping my crappy slow d17 for a slightly faster k20a3. now the thing is, i have no clue about the differences in the wiring. i haven't done any solid research, but i have heard that there are an extra 3 wires. if someone could please do the research for me, and let me know how to wire up the entire engine, i'ld be very greatful. have a good day.
