yea thats what i was thinking. I sure hope you dont speak in public like you type on a forum.. If your spelling and superb use of the english language is any hint at your mechanical prowess, i would not undertake this endeavor

s2kevint

u need vtec.

thats it.

end of story.

on a serious note, bro theres so mmany things into starting a car besides a bare long block with a tranny.

if you dont know the basic necessities a car need to just start, you shouldnt be doing any K series swap, or any swap at that.

hayn808king

you gottah be more specific. there so many things you need done to get a kswap in your car. you got about couple more grands to spend before it runs.

Unfortunately people in Hawaii talk the way they write, or the other way around, write the way they talk. I've seen much worse.

OP: Check out http://www.k20a.org

To list a few things, you need wiring harness, mounts, ECU, axles, shifter kit, idler pulley, aftermarket fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator with gauge, fuel lines...

Sounds like a K20A3 from an 02-05 Si. It's an ok motor, not the best K.

To be on the safe side, you are looking at $2,500-3,000 in parts.

sohchatchy

probably another 1500 depends if ur buyin aftermaket things or stock things like dizzy nd mani nd ect..

95exvtech

Your gonna need....

Intake, Exhaust (Complete), all the trans linkage crap..., all the harnasses, motor mounts (a kit since its a different engine) Um possibly axles...I'm not exactly sure because I have never done that swap. I'm planning on doing a b16 or b18 and i'm in college as well but im just gonna get the engine and work on it on the side before i put it in. Hit me up if you got any more questions or if your working on a budget.

ANIMAL K20

stock for now.

91EF9hatch

you might as well drop a b series instead if its going to be a k20a3

howson02

Exactly my thoughts, with the money your going to be spending on an A3, you could get a well specced B, if your going to do the job, do it right, get the best engine you can.

toener

im trying to do the same thing

h-duced

not to mention the program k-pro that you have to run is a G alone

ek9 citrus

If your planning to get an ek or eg what k20 engine are you using? k20a or k20a2? no matter what ur going to need k pro if you want to be budget u can get an prb/prc manifold, dc header basically all the bang for u buck parts but if you have a lil bit more money to spend? spend it on fuel rail, fuel lines wire tucks, ground system on what ev you need. If you get an ek, my best suggestion is ekk2 mounts if your running n/a meaning you would need to swap out the ek subframe unit to an eg or dc. If your running boost on the ek use ekk1 dont need to swap out ur subframe unit ekk1 just gives you room to mess around in the back for turbo set up.

first you need a dictionary.
install spell check on your pc. (or mac)
i havent checked your status but im guessing your a trial user
and unless you got it for free or unless you really have it and im assuming you dont. but just in case you do. depending on what your swapping it into you need mounts, tranny, manifold, exhaust piping, headers, etc etc etc etc etc
k swap isnt just a walk in the park.

but just start with the dictionary part.

papo09

i have an eg. ihave the k20 full swap. all i need is mount but thats no problem. but i need 2 no about the harness that i would need. n how would i do it

nyc93excpe

still need the harness, i have one one, that came with my motor yesterday when i bought it, a k20a2 i bought to rebuild, but i plan on replacing everything including wireharness no packs/ plugs though, i was surprised he threw in the harnes with the motor but not the packs lol
