any thoughts on k20a1 turbo
i can get a k20a1 localy out of a crashed car. very low miles and if i take it out myself the guy said $1000. very good deal but was wondering if its worth the hassle. id run boost on it maybe 8-9 psi, but is it worth it?? anyone have any experience with the k20a1 off the SI civic

The K20a3 is off the Civic Si and RSX.
The K20a2 is off the RSX-S.
Not sure if there is even a K20a1. Make sure you know what your getting.

No, the A3 is from the Si and the K20A is the JDM DC5-R motor.
If you want simple boost without doing the internals, the A3 is a cheap, solid choice.
The A2 is the best all around motor, as it can do boost, and do it better than the A3 as it has a better flowing head, but it can also do all motor pretty well.
The K20A is a pure NA motor. Yes, you *could* prep it for boost by getting some low com pistons and so forth, but that's a complete waste of money when an A2 is so much cheaper and far better suited to the task.
Oh, and if someone is offering you an K20A for 1000 bucks, I have some Florida swampland you might be interested in.
