theres no point in doign a k20a3 swap in your ef.....might as well go gsr if ya want an a3 swap..... so you know the answer k20a2.....


now for the boost question k20a3 would be ok for boost BUT k20a2 is still way better even tho its high compression. ive seen a2 push stock sleeves 600 or 700+ i dont remember...check out k20a.org.

Why would 37 views and 1 response make us all poo poo heads? Maybe you asked something that the other 35 people who viewed didn't know how to answer. I even looked at the thread, but I know nothing about K series swaps, so instead of posting saying "good luck, wish I could help" I decided not to. Maybe grow up a bit.

your best bet is to read up on k20's the k20a3 does not have the same vtec sytem as found in other k20's like the k20a2.

take a look at this

its prolly that your first sentence says "iv'e done the research''. Then fellows a question that asks which engine is better.

Hows ft wayne treating you? Didn't know there was honda fans out there. I used to live in decatur.

Honest question or not, if you really did do the research like you said you did, you wouldn't be asking whats the better motor between the A2 and A3.

You can read up more on it here

Probably price, A2s are cheaper than Z3s and rightfully so.
