which engine w/ turbo?

[pvillcivi]

Sorry for the noob question, I've got an 02 ex thinking about doin a swap with turbo. Which do you guys think would be better k20A3 with greddy turbo, or K20a2 with someone elses.

k24

Between those two, I'd vote the a3.

Yeah the A3, cause the lower compression ratio lets you run higher boost

[DumbNewB]

how about you buy my motor so i can get a k20a? :cool:

[pvillcivi]

thanks for the info. Ya I was thinking A3 b/c of the lower compression. how much do you guys usually sell you engines for. I got a quote for $4,000 for an entire front EP clip this sound high to you guys

Ya that is pretty high. It sucks for us ep owners, but most people are looking for the a2 engines so the a3's go for pretty cheap. Usually about $2500. I guess it depends where you look though. Most people with ep's looking to swap in an a2 will sell them for pretty cheap. If you are looking on ebay or some salvage yard they seem to sell for more.
