Have a eg shell waiting for this.. my uncle had a 2006 si and he crashed it. . i offered him a 1,500 cash to let me take out the motor..... would the z3 swap be more diffcult(sp) than the a2 swap??? lsd>no lsd

 

i think it might be a little different because they have that torque mount on the top pass. side. but i would buy it anyway if i were you, it has to have a kit coming if one is not already made.

 

K20 FTW!

 

good now i just have to fly up to NY take it out and send it back to me!! yay

the shifter kit is the same as the a2 ??

Yup, should be. All K series are Cable Tranny's.

 

Dude, if you can get teh k20 for less than 4g's take it.

1,500 is a steal.

 

i just read something that says the tranny might not drop in because of the mount. supposedly its built into the tranny and you have to use a tsx tranny. don't know how true that is though.

 

yes i knew that !!! Family Discount FTW
i was jus wondering if it could be done at the same price the k20a2 would be done at...

what about the MAF sensor?? wont cause any problemss??

You need to get its complete wiring harness and ECU. Im not an expert on K series, but its a soemwhat different platform ( other than its shape, position and size, which is obvious) than the D/B/F/H series motors, making use of a MAF sensor.

 

i wouldnt pay 1500 for an A3...
maybe 1200

 

dont go with the a3 go with the a2 bro...

well in that case expletive the a2 becuz those dont come with LSD...z3=LSD. Though the current 05+ A2's are running 10 exra hp and a little more torque. But the z3's LSD tranny makes up for the extra 10hp the a2 is pushing out

 

learn something new every day

electronic throttle body (drive by wire) & NON-K-pro'able ECU = FTL & no you can't just swap parts on... engine harnesses are different

FYI the '05+ rsx-s has a k20z1 motor - i believe SAE HP ratings changed in '05 or '06 which slightly decreased HP ratings FYI

to the OP - I doubt your uncle would sell you the motor & transmission for $1500... his insurance company would give him like $8,000 less for the car. also do you have an extra $4000-$6000 to get all the necessary parts to put a K-swap into your eg?

 

I agree, the k20z has that crappy Drive By Throttle + the mounts are a bit different so some custom fabricating might be involved though $1500 is a steal. You can pawn that off for much more

wow didnt know the HP for the 05-06 rsx-s would decrease...can you give more detail on that bro???

 

lol it would actually be rated higher if they used SAE hp ratings for pre '05 cars

hence if the '05 rsx-s was a '03 model it would be like 220 hp

google "sae hp rating"

Basically they came up with a new system to rate hp. The new HP rating system has a stricter scale that the previous so it says HP went down on almost all new cars after the new rating came out.
