From what I heard on the K20a ECU you can bypass the immobolizer. I'm pretty sure there's a couple of guys on K20a.org running K20a ECU.

No reprogramming anything. You keep the key that came with your car.
This is correct:

Re: k20a swap plz help (k-series)
If you are using a k20a (JDM engine and ecu), then you don't need to do anything. There are no immobilizers in the Japanese cars. You'd run one of the PNP harnesses provided by multiple companies, use your stock ignition, and go...

The above is somewhat correct, JDM K-series ECU's do have an immobilizer, but if you are using a Plug and Play harness they are very easy to bypass. The JDM immobilizer only controlls fuel (the fuel pump), where the USDM controls both fuel (the pump and injectors) and ignition.
