The A3 will last as long as you take care of it, don't over rev it, never mis-shift (IE from 5th -> 3rd), and be sure to check everything out every few thousand miles.
The KW24A1 (CRV Motor) drops right in and all you need is the K24 side motor mount. Also if swap motors buy a set of Innovative 60A Motor Mounts (good idea no matter what mods you do - stock motor mounts SUCK).
Don't check out and use the A3 Fly setup. Just buy a stock A2 flywheel and have it resurfaced. Also you can prob find a cheap Stage 1 or Stock Type S clutch for cheap that will deal with the power better.
I found my CRV long block with 24-27K (don't remember exactly) for under $800 bucks shipped to my house. I paid about $700 for a nice complete A2 head to mate the CRV block with. Well worth it IMO.
The JRSC setup is great for a DD and you will love the insta-torque (atleast for a Honda anyways
). My car is nearly done! Can't wait to abuse the hell out of it!!
