I know he is looking for a supra but its hard to find a clean car. I used to have a K20A in my RSX, Did you complete you K20 swap into your EG? He told me about your swap a while ago.NickZED20 said:i thought his dad was buying him a supra... i used to go to school with him

no its comming together though... i decided to hold off over winter (montreal sucks) and take it out in mayLCDC5 said:
in the meantime, ive been working on putting together a forged K24 base and a bunch of stuff to the chassis for now
should be pretty clean, im putting alot of time and planning into it
Sounds good. I am going to do a swap on an EG, but I'm just debating on wether or not to buy a K20A or an A2 and put an LSD, clutch, Flywheel and other neccesities. I think it will probably be easier to just get a K20a like my last swap, by the time I put the money in to a type s. I'm going to take my time building it but it would be nice to have it for summer. Any other tips you can give would be great, do you have any sources for motors in Montreal?

not really, the K20As are expensive around here too... although ive seen a few K20A2s pop up for around 3-3.5k CND! :wow:LCDC5 said:
if your interested ill see whats currently available, if anything still up for sale i can hook you up with their numbers
i know some JDM engine shops around here, there isnt much thats worth trusting though... Nagano is shit, my friend got fuked over by them... osaka ive heard the same stuff. Japan motor import ive heard decent feedback, and i know the guys at Fast and furious motors (nice name
), but still the engines are expensivehttp://www.fnf-motors.com/index.php?mainBlock=show_car.php&id=115

no clue on engine land's website, i havent heard complaints
They are ridiculous but there are a lot more applications for a K series than there are an F20C. Nick thanks for the Engine shops, I bought my first K20A from Lucky star in toronto and they are a bunch of scammers, the motor and everything was perfect but I just didn't get all the parts they promised, I would not buy from them again. I might buy a type s swap with low K but the added cost of the LSD, Flywheel, clutch, some motor work, I would be better off spending the money on a stock K20A wouldn't I? Does anyone here have just a stock type s in an EG with minimal mods? If so how does it go?JDM2ndGen said:you know whats bugging me out ...that k20a swaps cost more than a S2000 swap

i'd presonally prefer a quaife LSD over an OEM Type R LSD, and the Final drive isnt a big deal
i mean, if you are going to be upgrading for "better then type R" parts in the long run, then i dont see a point in shooting out the cash for it right now
i guess its up to your plans, present and future, cashflow, and of course what kind of deal you can get one either engine

The Final drive doesn't matter to me because of the tire size I will be running, but and LSD is a neccessity as I have already made over 200+whp with my rsx and torque steer was a bitch. I can get a really good deal on a Type s swap right now, the only things I need are the axels, TSX header, rail, regulator and lines, clutch line. And the other problem is which way to go with the ECU, if I could locate a JDM PRC ECU then I would go ahead but there not easy to come by. If you have any sources let me know.NickZED20 said:
