What Luck! :(
 
OK I had started to pay off NOBOTTLEJUSTTROTTLE for his k20a2 complete swap for 3g. Well it was stolen from the barn that it was in. Lucky I had gotten the hasport motor mounts and other stuff from him. Well My d17 finally blew up. i found a k20a3 in seattle for 900 bucks complete 17k no engine wire harness. everything else is there. comes with TSX axels though. So i will be picking it up Saturday and hopefully i will be swapping it in within a few weeks

I hope you got all your money back...It was his responsiblity to keep it "safe"

If he was storing it, I'd get my money back because its his fault it was stolen. It does sound pretty sketchy.

haha did you turbo it with the dh ported head? No wonder. rscivic had the same problem and she was really lucky the motor didn't explode with the junk head.

ImportRacer2123 04-22-2005 02:46 AM

yep exactly. it was all ****ed up.

Skunk2ner 04-22-2005 03:12 AM

good luck with that k20a3. i'm thinking about doing that swap as well someday. inexpensive, yet decent potential.

ImportRacer2123 04-22-2005 04:13 AM

yep exactly. i can make it a type s one day or maybe close to a K20a
