Do i need an RSX timing chain, header, intake etc. Is there any extra wiring because of the ivtec now that its also on the exhaust sideas well, is there a dowel pin issure, coolant and oil passages still ok? If you have done this tell me what you did. What problems you ran into and how you solved them! Any help would be awesome! WE have the head and now need to fiqure what else we need to do!

with the prices of the k20a as low as they are you would be better off dropping that in for 4650 and selling your k20a3 for 2-3k, saves you a ton on labor and customizing, plus you get the whole package. sell the head to someone else

Ask Myeverlovinsir on ephatch.com

He put an RSX-S head and tranny, and it works very well. :D
