wanted to know if this is a good deal.... its 2,500 for the 02 base rsx motor with tranny, harness, subframe, gear box and only got 32k on it... what u guys think?

 

It's an ok deal. Here's the question, though, what kind of accident was it in? Or does it have other sorts of history?

 

lol nothing it was on craigs list from a guy thats about an hour from me

 

Then, I don't think it's worth it. You can get k20a3 swaps for about $1500, and then all you'd need would be a sub frame to have what that guy has.

 

1,500? for full swap engine tranny ecu etc... expect subframe?

 

i bought my k20a3 for 750 compete long block with tranny and full wireharness.

 

off someone you knew?

 

thats pretty cheap

 

terrible deal imo

 

If you were to look on car-part.com right now, you could get an EP3 long block for $600, from either San Diego or Pittsburgh. You'd need probably another $900 or so to get it able to run in your engine bay, and then there's just k-pro at about $1,000. Look, that's a $2,500 swap, right there.

 

yea but the block with out tranny i cant run with the tranny i have now can i ? and i was reading some were that the k20a3 and the k20a2 is the head and the comp ratio.... iono how true that is... im not a mech yet

You cannot use any transmission, besides a k-transmission. The engine spins the opposite of any other series engine. You'd have 5/6 reverse gears, and 1 forward, if you could possibly bolt them together.

Actually there's a lot different between the A3 and the A2.

The long blocks came with a transmission, bud. You may want to re-read what they have listed. And, if you're not expecting at least 3,500 for a swap, then you're not serious about it.

 

oh lol i didnt know that....but iono yet im still considerin it....... and thanks for all the info on everything ....... hows that k24 treatin you?

Just fine. I'll be doing a transmission flush, and inspecting a tiny leak on the output shaft. I may do a shaft seal replacement soon, because I'm obsessive compulsive.

 

I have the factory K20 in my Si, and I was looking at some JE pistons for my car, not really sure which ones I should get. Heres what I've found so far, I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks. Also any advice on rods would be greatly appreciated.
