Thats about what I paid for mine. Like Mugen said make sure you pull the valve cover and check the block stamp to make sure its an A2.

The engine will have a 30 days warranty... What should it cover?

RHCP0801
02-08-2011, 05:38 PM
everything

The warranty will probably only cover internal engine parts, block/head most warranties don't cover the accessories. That motor is a good price even if it was only an assembled block/head and water pump.

x2, but i got mine about 2 years ago, i would definitally pull the valve cover when u get there, and bring a compression tester also being that it was rolled i would double check the mounts, oilpan, valve cover

random note, is it legal to swap a k24a2 into our ep3s in cali??? I thought we couldnt

02-09-2011, 02:53 PM
Thought someone said it was legal as long as the motor didn't come out of a truck (suv), a la k24a1.

It could come with all accessories, just depends what they decide to leave on it. Mine came with everything except A/C compressor and starter.

udontknowjack
02-09-2011, 04:56 PM
well idk if it have all the accessories... Don't have to know how when it come car...

From what I can tell... There are no intake/exhaust manifold.. Coil packs... Fuel rail... Injectors...

02-09-2011, 07:56 PM
mine came with everything but alt, ac compressor and starter. Still had the stock exhaust mani on it

chubbychu got sent to ref by a cop with his k24a2 swapped EP3 and they failed him immediately because of the modified coolant ports and something to do with valves and the ECU. they basically told him he'd never pass smog or ref with that motor. so while not entire illegal, you won't pass smog the "legit" way. if you have a hook up on smog, just keep your fingers crossed you dont get sent to the ref.

congrats udontknowjack, you got a great deal!

You know that's a bunch of BS, right.


Don't waist your time looking for a hook up and just install the motor and piping correctly, take it to the ref and pass it. If installed correctly, you should have no problem.
