If i swap a k20a2 in a ep3, am i going to have to buy anything extra for the swap or do i just need a complete k20a2 swap
i just need to be pointed in the right direction
I'm not to sure how much you know about K20a2 and K20a3 but the is a difference in the PS system. You'll be needing to remove this system off the K20a2 and replacing with parts off your K20a3.
I'd also change the motor mounts to aftermarket ones or to ES insert, depending as to what you have as a budget. Its also a smart time to do a clutch and fly upgrade. I know $$$ adds up quick, but spending now will save you in labour later.
ya i have no idea what the ps system is
but i was going to upgrade to the ACT extreme clutch and prolite flywheel
would i be able to use that clutch and flywheel on street even tho it says not to
on my a3 the clutch wore out so instead of spending 1100 on a new stock clutch im now going with the a2 swap since this is my chance now
i would be able to switch out the type-s flywheel nd clutch on the a3 and sell that engine
Not to mention you still a have to drive down to Honda and have them recode your key to the ECU. I think it would be better to turbo the K20A3 at 8psi and you would have 105hp per liter instead of 100hp per liter and still be saving money compared to all the money the swap will add up to.
The K20A2 drops rignt in.
You will need to get the immobilizor resynched.
The shifter "may" need to be trimmed to allow the shifter to get into reverse gear.
Use your A3 axles.
The clutch would be for a K20A2, so get some ideas from others what works well, I like the CM FX300.

if you go with k-pro, technically you dont have to recode the ecu, but with the immobilizer disabled you'll have that annoying key symbol flashing the entire time.
and technically you can go with a six speed transmission with your a3--you can place a tsx 6th into your five speed. you wont have the reverse lockout solenoid that the 6 speeds have, but i am sure you can order those anyway :thumb:
I thought my post was pretty clear, about the ps systems.
You can just K-Pro your A3 ECU and no need to go to the dealer to have the immobilizer and key resynch'ed. You dont need the reverse lock out anyway unless you dont know how to drive a manual. The reverse is just way too far to be mistaken as 6th gear.
