Its a k20a1 from an EP3. Im not sure what is different about it from all the others besides the fact thats its only a 5sp and not a 6spd? I might be picking it up tonight for a good price but wanted info on it. Not fimilar with k series thats why im asking. Im an integra guy and was hoping you guys could help me out with some quick responses. Thanks guys

 

k20a/k20a1 is the type r motor
-(except for ep3 R, the motor's the same thing as our k20a2)
k20a2 is the type s motor
k20a3 is the ep3 motor
k20z1 is the 05/06 type s motor

 

yea i just found out its a k20a3, so isnt that the base model RSX and ep3 motor?

 

that is correct only 160hp

 

That's not correct. The Japanese EP3-R gets the K20A as well. The European EP3-R is the one that gets the K20A2.

yea thats why i dont think its even worth buying because ill be swaping it into my gsr, and stock i have more hp than that lol.

 

yea but if you do some head work it will make big hp plus it has more tq the the gsr motor. u can get the ep3 motor for around 1500-2k its a good deal i think either way ull be ballin a k in ur teg

 

the guy im actually looking to buy it off of is selling it for 800 bucks, motor and trans w/ only 30k on it! Came out of an ep3 that got rear ended pretty bad and insurance company declaired it totaled. The car was his brother inlaws so he just bought it back from the insurance company from him for a good price. Its ethier that or an H2B. But im not sure how easy the K swap will be, seeling as though i need k pro dont i? What do you guys think i should do?

 

i would pick it up and put it into the teg for 800 bones.

 

no **** for 800 dollars i would be all over that with the quikness! and in a teg the install isnt that hard from what ive seen. besides for the price ur payin for the swap ull have that motor built installed tuned with k pro for less then the cost of a k20a lol not to mention that **** is baller!

 

have you actually done any research? putting a K in a teg isnt cheap your looking at some cash if you wanted to do it a little cheaper i would put the A3 in there just so its swapped and later when you have more cash buy either an A2 or Z1.

 

What's wrong with your stock B18c1 motor? I'd much rather have than than the expense of putting in a K20a3.

Sometimes you just need to pass a deal up as it isn't any better than what you already have.

It would probably be cheaper to rebuild the B18c1 the right way, and in the end you'd have a much faster motor.

 

boost the a3....you'll see some good #'s

OK, price out the cost of the a3 + cost of the parts to do the swap + cost of the turbo kit. Not to mention the time getting it all to work correctly.

a3 still such a good deal?

I agree. Not worth the time, effort nor money for the a3 given he has a B18C1 already.

 

a it is a good deal and i dont wanna pass it up but i dont wanna be dissapointed and spend all that money for the swap and stuff when i already drive a gsr. But question, do the new civic si's have the a3 in them to?
