ima bout to do a k20a swap in my dc5 but im wondering what year should i get? is there a big difference between those years. both has 220 hp etc... you guys tell me what you think?

 

Newer ones might tend to have less miles on them...

 

k20a2 02-04 has 200hp
k20z1 05-06 has 210hp, better headers, slightly higher compression, better cams...similar to type R, better transmission (carbon coated synchros) shorter 5th

k20a jdm type-r 220hp same as k20z with lsd and slightly higher compression and diff intake mani

a2- $3-4000
z1- $4-4500
a- $5500-6500
go with the z1 motor as i have a 05 type s its the ****!

All k motors only have one header and the compression between both motors are the same.

Lean towards the '05-'06, majority of them tend to have low miles (as stated above) and is still in pristine condition.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the weight of both of the years are quite similar to each other? I don't want to search for that information, but if correct then it all comes down to what you like best (i.e. headlights, tail lights, gauge cluster, and wheels).

Stop spreading misinformation. It's the Base model you're talking about, not the Type-S.

That's annoyingly stupid.

And...

 

^^lol. Yeah, it is dumb how they all are labeled the K20a.

 

Time to start counting some exhaust cam lobes.

YeS, Sir

 

Im not sure about the 02-04 but i still have the window sticker when my 05 was new and its rated at 210 hp.

 

Yes, '05's were rated at 210 and they dropped the '06's back down to 200.

When did they start making them to the engine rating with all of the accessories on? Wasn'tit around 06 when they released the new Si's and rated them at 197.

 

I think that was 2006.

I wish they'd just measure it at the wheels already.

 

well i got a k20a.(05') and i got 200whp. and it was dino tuned. /i/honata k pro.

 

"The engine intake and exhaust modifications that boost the power of the 2005 Type-S model to 210 hp (157 kW) at 7800 rpm (revised to 201 hp (150 kW) in 2006), compared to 200 hp (150 kW) at 7400 rpm on the previous model. "
