Default head swap

Already searched got some info. I have a few questions. I went to the dealer about getting a k20a2 head and they were talking almost 3 grand. Other than the unlikely event I would find a type s in a junk yard where could I get a complete used head for a good price? Besides the ecu what else do I need to run? Would I have problems with an engine that revs to 8 grand without the oil squitters the a2s have? I don't have money to just toss around so I can't just drop cash on a k20a or anything. I have an ep3 if u were wonderin. Thanks for any info.

You will need the complete head of course, rsx-s ecu and/or hondata, new gaskets, headbolts, rsx-s/310cc injectors.

Thats it as far as I know, but of course there are optional parts that could help. Such as an external oil cooler to help with those higher revs since the a3 is short a few oil squirters.

To find a head just try the classifieds here, k20a.org, ep hatch, k-series.com, or some online parts recyclers. Your local junkyard may not have it but there are a lot of irresponsible kids that wreck their RSX's...the parts have to end up somewhere

Also, I can't stress enough, research! The swap is not new and has been done many times so searching the many forums will lead you to gobs of info.
