Hey guys,
New member here on K20A.org! I own a 2000 Honda Prelude 2.0i 5th generation. It currently has a 2.0l F20A4 SOHC engine that produces 133hp. Its a europe spec car, hence the 2.0l engine. I bought it to tune and make a fun car out of. While doing research on what to do to with it, i found that the F20A4 is the weakest engine found in a Prelude (H series engines have 180-200hp depending on model).
After reading a bit, i decided to do a K-swap, and fairly quickly decided it would be a K24A2, or K24A3 as its called here in europe. Long story short, i found a 6 speed manual from a 2004 Honda Accord Tourer, and a K24A3 that someone wanted to put in their EG/EK but had to sell the engine due to other projects. Good news for me i suppose. The problem is that the engine doesnt come with an ECU. The guy said a EP3/DS5 ECU would work, but i have no idea.
Now id like to call on some more experienced K users and ask what ECU would work with the K24A3 and 6 speed manual. I have seen comments about some ECU combined with K-Pro, but thats an expensive route im not sure to take, mainly because i dont yet know the benefits of K-Pro. So, please tell me what you think would work with this engine.
Regards,
Asbuster
