A2 Head Swap

[davisj3537]

Yeah seriously don't put an a2 head on the a3. I would get kpro though. Go for a 6spd...it seriously wakes up the car.

how difficult would it be to put a 6spd tranny in place of the stock 5?

its not hard at all, just swap the trannys if you have the 6 speed ready to go. its about a 2~3 hour job. faster if you have a lift!~

but how do highway rpm compare with the 6 speed to our stock 5 speed on the stock bottom not reving past 7500rpm. I have cai, header, exhaust, bcss, 05 type-s clutch and 05 type-s f1 10.25 pound flywheel, esmm's. I rev to 7500rpm, and would love to swap to the six speed. Is the rpm at 80mph lower than with the 5 speed?

[shadowmd]

at 80mph with the 6spd im at around 3550-3600rpms. i don't hit 4k til 90pmh or so. my normal cruising speed is 75-80 so its nice to have it below 4k rpms

how much would a 6 speed usually run for, say from an rsx at a junkyard?

[shadowmd]

not sure....maybe 900-1000????? could be way off tho

i would go through a forum member for a trans. imho because most honda/acura wrecking yards with newer cars are mostly used for shops that do a lot of insurance jobs so u will through the roof for a good conditioned trans.!

Shadowmd, is that going to be the same rpm at 80 with the k20a3 though, is the transmission even worth doing on the a3 cuz I am very very interrested in this swap then getting the motor later on
