is a k20a2 head and ecu swap worth it on a ep3 a3 motor? and would it have a problem with emissions if that head and ecu was swapped?

X3 .... Just pick up a k24a1, best bang for the buck swap IMO... you could sell the head for the (k24)block. Or just get the k24 too and frank swap that sucka. Ive seen k24a4's sell for as much as 700 or even less. just look and be patient. all these are better options than head swapping an A3... again, just my opinion.

or...pick a k24 head swap it, cheaper (200 or so) and flows as well as an A2 head..So many better options... A2 head is nice, but i'm a broke bastard, so Im always lookin for the best deal with the most power.

A3 head swap should have no smog issues..key is though, KPRO.

turbo/supercharger is the only way youll see those numbers with the a3.
