Hey Guys!! New to this forum here and recently purchased an eg shell that I will be building. I am looking to put a K20 engine but undecided on going with an RSX Type S swap or K20A Type R.

A big factor will be accessibility on maintenance parts for the engine. Things like belts, alternators, starters, spark plugs etc.

Obviously the RSX will be pretty easy to locate those parts from a Dealership but I was wondering if those parts are compatible on the Type R?

This is a very important factor on which route I go with. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Other than engine internal specifics, like crank and cams, belts, bearings, pumps and the like are cross-compatible between K20s and sometimes even K24s.

Ah okay... I thought I remembered seeing something a while ago about alternators and stuff not matching all K20s. I didn't want to go through a headache every time I am looking for maintenance parts.

I haven't heard of that. They all use a 4-bolt mount. The K24s might have bigger alternators since they're used in generally bigger cars.

Well I appreciate it... Looks like I will be going with the Type R then... At this point in time it seems a lot easier to get my hands on one of those than a K20A2
