i got an 99 civic an out of no were i found a k20a3 for only 300 bucks an i was thinking of putting it in will it fit due to the tranny an what kind of shift linkage does it use? kinda need help i know its gonna be alot of money but who care i can always upgrade later...

 

no shift linkage. you have to get the cables from the trany to the shifter "box" you have to buy or get from that car...if you can. www.karcepts.com has everything you need for it and there is alot of people that have done it so its possible just time and $ consuming. it will fit. though. not much modification.

 

K20A3 licks NUTS.

Dont buy that POS.

 

well it was only 300 bucks your gonna tell me you pass on that with tranny ecu an engine....

 

seems like a good deal AND I would go for it

 

id say your wasting your time... its a weak motor and not to mention price of parts to make it fit.. and be worse off than a b16!

 

x2, youll still be spending at the very least just to make it work, 3k, if not more. Even after your done, your still looking at k-pro and having someone to tune it. And in the end, you'll have a car that gets beat by stock b16's all day long.

 

hehehe, i thought this wasn't a bad deal either..... there's even a complete swap locally here with ecu, stock mounts, axles, wiring, motor, tranny, shifter box.... for 1500 Canadian, then i looked for the k20a3 specs..... all that work and time and money for a loosely 160hp??

i swapped in a b16a2 for about 2200 all said and done and it only took one day and about 2 cases of beer lol

 

 

ahhhh feels good to make a difference in the honda world and save people from regreattable descions later!!

lol j/k its all what you want man. but its alot of $ to get beat by stock b16s all day long

 

true.. but hey i got the money i cn always up grade an get a k20ar

 

or you can get a type S head on it later...options options.

 

so all i need a type s head an it should be good? were is nicko when you need him.........lol

 

if i was you i would buy the tranny and ecu and then sell me the tranny..i wouldnt buy an k20a3, just a waste of time n money

 

well look i i got the engine ecu an tranny for 300

 

for that price, do it. i would. not everyone has alot $ and resources to do things that are practical. youl like it. i wouldnt be type r. but its new, low miles. throw a turbo on it later for more power. you wouldnt have to build it. K is good with boost.
