You can get a complete k20a2 for $2500 to $3000.

 

i have "heard" of a deal like that but i would have to see it to believe it...plus i mean i have seen the head for sale for like 600-700 and then the ecu for like 250....then you can get the flash.....i mean the blocks are relatively similar and i don't want 6-speed(which usually won't come with the motor for that price).

 

I have bought the head and ecu already but may go another route so I might sell them if you are interested plus I am in Fl too and could deliver

 

i pmed you justincase you didn't get it

 

Whats the word?
can the A2 head be swapped over easily?

 

damnit, tell us! --- j/k

I dont think its been done yet... Ive been lurking on these boards for a while and I haven't seen it done, only talked about...

 

yes the a2 head is a simple and straightforward swap on the a3 block

aj-racing has already done the swap as well

 

Thanks, 01-1004R
Do you know where I can read more about it?

they talked about it in the thread " read this 200hp upgrade for ep3" I had it bookmarked but is says it no longer exists so I don't know what happened to it
you can im aj power he is the one that did the swap

and like I said I have the type s head and ecu for sale if it is something you are interested in

 

Damn, I remember seeing that thread just a while ago too, I should have read it closely.

Does anyone remember if it was a simple swap? Or did it require some modification?

no modification needed as simple as straightforward as b series swap

 

Man we need some freakin details, youd think this would be a really good bang-for-buck setup, right?

 

"ok i am not an expert in engines just around a little bit to be able to know a thing or two. however, honda did make a fully counterweighted crank for the type s, as opposed to our balanced crank. why? thats why cranks have to be at least balanced. any little vibrations could result in big damage thats why its really important. very sensitive. when it is fully counterweigted and stuff it is more equipped (in general) to handle a beating. some engines are equipped with crankshaft counterweights in order to reduce torsional vibrations. i guess if it goes to 7900RPM and produced 200HP it probably needs it. ALSO the type s has stronger bigger rods/piston assembly. Its not just one thing its a few and they're all expensive. "so what do you all think about this??? does this mean that setup without modding the block is a bad idea?

 

That's a good point, and if its true, it would apply to Hondata too.

 

yeah that's what i was thinking, but i have yet to hear of ANYONE that had a prob with hondata

 

I can wait a year to find out, before I go with anything radical. In the meantime, theres lots of other ways to add some hp to the stock setup.

 

My A3 has fuel cut at 7900 according to the charts i have.It dosent even seem like its stressing the motor one bit,so i dont see how 7900 with an a2 head is any different.
