wouldn't it be easier buying the motor and tranny versus modifying your current motor into the 'a'

1. Your not gonna aquire a "kit" to build a typeR motor out of an A3 for cheap.
2. Buying all the parts to do what u want to do will cost more than 6Gs.
3. Why not do some research using the Search up top right of your screen before asking such questions.

Check out K20A.org tons of k series knowledge...you deffinately need it to you for being an ***

the K20a3 cannot handle type r internals.

The block is much weaker.

About the only thing you can do with an A3 is put new cams in. If you want a built motor, buy a real motor.

Use your A3 as a back-up. It's pointless to do anything with it other than boost.

Just get Skunk2 internals. You could probably see ~200 whp for $2000 plus tune.

EPHatch member chunky has done a lot of stuff to his A3. But, the only important A3 part that's left is the block.

Lately, I've been finding out that some of the heavy-build motor guys are going with A3 blocks. They've usually got two reasons -- they're cheap, and their lack of under-piston oil squirters is actually a benefit at extra-high revs (10K+) because the pistons & rods stay lighter by not being drenched in oil.

Just curious, Do you know about how much money would be spent on that, cuz im on a budget. I was just thinking about a k24 with type-s or r head work what would be better, money wise, a3 block or the k24 swap w/ head work.
