Im quite disappointed with honda tech already. A guy comes on here with 1200 posts and gives out false imformation. No wonder people get confused.

K20A3 was only produced in the North America. The Ep2 for the EDM was powered by a D16 (single). The Ep1 was powered by a d14 (single). Ep4 was powered by a 1.7 Turbo Diesel. They had a conversion kit for a b series motor like all older single cam cars. Due to having the shifter on the dash, they had to have a custom shift linkage for the ep2 which why he stated it being a nightmare.

Don't call someone a newb when you don't even have the correct info.

Because I read about it in an article. I don't live in ukdm so I didn't keep the information source. It was a quick read through when I bought my ep3. I'm not going to search through the ukdm sites to prove you wrong. At least I know what Im talking about. They had k20a3s in the ukdm HA that was false information from the blind.

Alright a 4g63t is the same motor that is in the older eclipses and older evos. Except one runs a dsm 14b turbo and the other one has a 16g turbo. Wow kill me already. A b18c is a major upgrade to a ep2 from the d16z. If they wanted a k series they would get a ep3r (k20a2).
