k20a from truehonda
 

iv been looking at true hondas k20a deal looks good just gotta know a couple of things....the parts that it comes with i can use for my LX 02? Because u need RSX parts when u do the swap and if anyone knows what parts ill be missing from this deal heres the link

doesnt seem like the tranny is included. is it?

it says complete swap. Just call up Eddie and ask.

i talked to him on aim, and from what I remember its everything except the mounts which you can get from hasport, dont quote me on it though.

I was wondering why nobody has been talking about buying motors from truehonda, theyve been up for a while, and he seems like a great vendor

because from the add it looks like just the motor is $5500. you will still need motor mounts sub frame and install so total your looking at probably $7k to do the swap. that is expensive. you can find full swap stuff here and other places for cheaper. there was a guy here selling basically the same set up for $2500-3000 on 7thgen.

not for a type R...

isnt the only difference the head??? wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a k20a2 motor and swap the a3 head out???? it would be easier and cheaper to buy a a2 motor but i dont know how much the a3 heads go for. i couldnt imagine it would be more than $1k for a stock head. and that would still be cheaper than buy a complete k20a3

the diff. between a k20a2 and k20a is the cams, intake mani, gears, final drive, flywheel, lsd, pistons.

if you're gonna leave the motor relatively stock, a k20a would be your best bet ... but if you plan to replace everything internally anyway, a k20a2 would be your best bet.

i think familycar is talking about the difference between k20a3 and k20a2

oh ... I'm a retard.

in that case:

differences are: pistons, rods, head, tranny/gearing, balanced vs. balanced and counter balanced crank, crank pulley, electric vs. hydraulic power steering

no aznboy is right... I think familycar is confusing engine codes here.... becuase why on earth would you want to put a K20A3 head on a K20A2 motor?

K20A = Type R
K20A2 = Type S
K20A3 = Base Model Motor

from the site:
this is not a 7th gen swap it is a dc5 swap. and the trans is included. you'll need a radiator mounts some harness work. ps lines SI axles and other tid bits.

you nailed it my bad!!!

k20a3 is si or base rsx

k20a3 - base rsx/ si

why don't you go back and read my posts.

i was about to ask if anyone else heard an echo. it usually only takes once for me!!

^ :rofl: yeah

on a side note, have you gotten your built head on yet?? ... I wanna see how it runs!

i am still waiting on my cam and springs to arrive and i need to finish up the fab work on the gsr IM. i doubt the head has even been touched yet either. for some reason i have had baaad luck getting machine shops and fabricators to keep their promises for completing work. i am going to call and bug them again today!!
