...yes your entire power-train warranty would be void. But, for example if your sunroof starts to malfunction it would still be covered.......

Yes you would need the K20A2 ecu to use all the options on the motor. You can get k-pro instead haha.

It depends on the dealership...sometimes they're gay and completely void your warranty for changing anything from the original car. Engine counts as something like this; pretty much anything expensive or drastic.

Sema ....

they can't void your warranty unless they prove that the modification caused the defect

for example
you installed a intake
and your passenger window falls off the track...
the 2 have NOTHING to do with each other
and if they said... buddy you put a intake on your car and this voids the warranty yadda yadda its bs


dealers try to weasel out of warranty work due to the fact they only get a % on the work since its covered by the company
as opposed to Jack Off who walks in off the street and they gang rape him for 80/pr hr labor rate + marked up parts etc etc
