no shift linkage. you have to get the cables from the trany to the shifter "box" you have to buy or get from that car...if you can. www.karcepts.com has everything you need for it and there is alot of people that have done it so its possible just time and $ consuming. it will fit. though. not much modification.

id say your wasting your time... its a weak motor and not to mention price of parts to make it fit.. and be worse off than a b16!

x2, youll still be spending at the very least just to make it work, 3k, if not more. Even after your done, your still looking at k-pro and having someone to tune it. And in the end, you'll have a car that gets beat by stock b16's all day long.

hehehe, i thought this wasn't a bad deal either..... there's even a complete swap locally here with ecu, stock mounts, axles, wiring, motor, tranny, shifter box.... for 1500 Canadian, then i looked for the k20a3 specs..... all that work and time and money for a loosely 160hp??

i swapped in a b16a2 for about 2200 all said and done and it only took one day and about 2 cases of beer lol

for that price, do it. i would. not everyone has alot $ and resources to do things that are practical. youl like it. i wouldnt be type r. but its new, low miles. throw a turbo on it later for more power. you wouldnt have to build it. K is good with boost.
