my whole life i've been a domestic buff. i use to have a 72' Mach 1. in the past 4 years, i've spent almost 3 in s. korea. i really got into the import thing. so when i got back ppl were telling me to get a civic b/c they are a good starter car. so now i have an 02 civic ex 4 dr. for the wife and kid. i'm trying to find good places to buy rsx suspention, k 20 engine, tranni, ecu, mounts and harness. i've found a shop in oklahoma city that says he can get me all the parts for $7,500 is that good or not?? if not, can you guys help me out??? thanks

 

ok, here is another question what is the difference in the a1, a2, a3? and reading the posts on this site has actually brought about a whole bunch of questions. like a civic ep3?? and so on

 

and again, i keep thinking of new stuff.....here is a site with pics if anybody is interested.......

if u wanna go fast you might as well take out all that you added

the K20a2 is the motor from the type-s

for suspension get some coilovers if your gonna go crazy with the car

 

It's not really a good deal. Than again does anyone really get a GOOD deal just from being a walk in at a shop...no. Especially since the parts they would sell you are probably used.

 

jdm k20a1 = civic type r. around 220 hp i believe
k20a2= rsx type s. 200 hp
k20a3= civic si(hb) 160hp

this is true. do some research before you just walk into these shops. civic ep3 is the 2002-2005 civic si hatchback.


just use the search feature here. you'll find everything you need to know.

the k20a is from the integra type r, the new civic type r has not been released yet, only debut'ed

 

do a little research. what motor was in the 02-05 civic TYPE R?

k20z1 '05+ RSX
k20z3 '06+ Si

NO SUCH THING as a k20a1

I betcha that shop meant they would get you a k20a3 rated at 160 hp

RSX-S (k20a2/k20z1 come with 6speed trannys) k20a3 come with 5 spd...

don't forget about a k24a2 (TSX motor)

yeah thats why i put k20a(1), i say one so people don't think i mean a3/a2 or any others. and yeah i know about the z's too i just copied and pasted the k20a's from that site

 

http://www.ephatch.com

really good info over there as well...

 

ok, say i do buy the stuff for $7,500 how can i make sure the **** is new??

 

or what is a good price for the k20a conversion?? will a k24 bolt up easley as a k20??

 

k20a is like 5500 just for the motor, k24 will bolt up i believe. a lot of people do this. before you buy a k20a consider boosting and a2 or an a3, the k20a is just crazy expensive still

 

ya, but if i bought an a2 or 3 then boost it, by the time i boost it i could have just bought the k20a for the same or even cheaper. right??

 

I personally would get a new car then to dump 7500 into a motor swap..but thats my suggestion
