got the motor for 1350, kpro for 750, paid Q 500(homie hook up) for the swap cus i dont have any time in my schedule to work on my car, oil, filter, crv mount and tranny fluid so grand total is around 3 g's motor came with manifold but switched to prb cus i plan on ditching the intake manifold and going s/c.

gas mileage is just as good as the a3 was but of course now i have to run 91.

homie hook up bro. i became friends with the owner of midnight performance here in sac and he hooked it up. it came out of an 05 tsx with a little over 60k.

i also got my k24a1 from HAP performance here in sac for 9 hundo. 1400 for a k24a1? your paying way too damn much. it better come with harness, intake and exhaust manifold for that price. i mean i paid 1350 for an a2 and i got all that.

in my old ep i put the k24a1 and sold that to 1gr8ep3 which is now running the vtec killer setup and its still running extremely well

some guy in Houston gave me a quote for 1450 for a k24a1 with 17k with a 100 shipping here to the LBK. But I rather go through Dave and get it for 1400 shipped with 30k. I trust him then some dude in the south. I called everyone from Texas, N. Mexico, Oklahoma, and Cali

no, i like the 5 spd. the gears are just as long and even though the final drive isnt as good, i dont mind it. plus i personally believe the ep tranny is the strongest tranny for the k series. my FA5 had 3rd gear issues (i.e. popping out) and with my other ep and this one i never had any problems what so ever

that would be a good run but my clutch is slipping pretty bad now, so its time for a new clutch and that wont happen till I get back from annual training. hopefully J will have his RH by then.

Cuz I've been told that a 6 speed tranny might be better for the t s x..
Im still a noob. So just getting different opinions from people that have been down that road already

its all in the gearing my friend. i for one will never get rid of this tranny. the only problem is reverse sometimes in order for me to engage it is to slowly let off the clutch until it catches
