...MOTOR SWAP!!!

FINALLY im getting a K20A2 and 6 speed... :thumbsup:


fuck yo A3 :firemad:


its been 97k miles, 3 transmissions, 1 replaced intake manifold, a supercharger, intake/header/exhaust/ECU and finally, FINALLY, im getting a swap done.


2004




2008




i have a full C-West bumper set (lip kit is getting pretty sore looking after 5 yrs), Eibach springs, blacked out headlights, strut bars, ESMM's, and soon a decent BBK for front and rear that will all go on at the same time, so it will be a totally different beast :)

...then a supercharger (again)

bye bye fellow A3 peeps! :wavey:

Sorry to lose you. Enjoy your new powahh!! :) and let us know how it goes. :thumbsup:
congrats man u will love the difference in power
wow after all that why not just trade it in for an s?
goodbye :) congrats & goodluk!
not being bitter but u are such a poser. u would talk shit about modding the a3 or the rsx in general including the S. saying your 300zx was the shit and will spank a rsx. instead of a s/c you should boost the a2, fuck s/c you would be back in square one saying its not enough power like u said with the a3 s/c'd..:dontknow:

enjoy it i guess...
that's what i did but whit a k20-R :thumbsup:
enjoy vtakkkk

the 300zx TT does spank a type S :rotfl: especially once i get all the new F/I stuff in her...

...so did my 12A RX-7, my 13B S/C'd RX-7, and my turbo II swapped RX-7; i never drove them daily or bought them new. my RSX is the first and slowest vehicle i have ever owned btw.

the RSX was my first new car, i paid for it with my own money; i went through some times with it that i hated it, now im pretty attached to it. the A3 isnt worth modding IMO; i got maybe 15hp/15tq out of I/H/E/ECU all together at the wheels, and the S/C project worked but didnt really net me the gains i expected at all, and killed gas mileage.

with an A2 i get the power w/o a big drop in fuel economy. besides, who the fuck are you anyways? u sound like a whiny little cunt with a chip on his shoulder for having a base.


BTW you spelled 'INJEN' wrong in your sig :thumbsup:


To everyone else, thanks!

*whispers, you have a base too*
*whispers, you have a base too*
ya, but i had other faster cars too, and as far as the base deal, not for much longer :laughing:

most the NE/PA crew knows of my long love/hate relationship w/ my car; now were cool.

whens the swap going in?

and you think a a2 swapped base will be faster and a s/c'd base? most likely it would be dead even... if it was me, i would leave the base alone and put money into the 300z..nah i aint whining im just wondering your logic of putting money into somehing that has more potential than a a2 swap but like i said enjoy it ..

i already have a built engine, bigger turbo's, dp's, tp's, full exhaust, ECU coming in, 555cc injectors, and all new suspension sitting in storage as well as some body parts, BBK, intercoolers, all new leather interior, aluminum driveshaft, and wider rims and tires all waiting to go in/on the 300ZX; im just waiting for a buddy of mine to free up his garage :thumbsup: the plan is a 500whp sunday driven T-tops-off sports car.

the RSX will always be either my or my GF's DD, and i think after 6 years a bump in HP and REAL VTEC would make it a lot more enjoyable :thumbsup:

buy your s/c back from me lol j/k

you selling it lol? i would come spring.

the A2 will go in as soon as i pay it off, so about a month or two.
I just did the swap. It's great. Just make sure you have a 6 speed because falling out of VTEC sucks!
ya now you actually know what vtec feels like.....big difference from the a3 poser vtec:eek:
nice! I did a similar thing...base auto to a type-s...It's fun!

ummmm 15 to the wheels??? damnn
but numbers shouldn't be the main concern
i guess to all their own when it comes to modding their a3
i personally would say the a3 has potential
but hey man you are getting a a2 swap :love: that has to be a good feeling
congrats again
ya, but i had other faster cars too
Ha!

fuck faster cars.

I'm a faster driver!

What now!? :vtec: :shady:

Plus.. I'm d-stroked K24 with 10:1 compression forged/blueprinted/balanced bottom end.
Dry-Sump Oiling and nitrous when I need it.
Head porting, engine bore size, cams and intake manifold are a trade secret.
3.5 inch downpipe back
lowboost setting @ 18psi - I'll leave high boost + race fuel to your imagination.

Oh wait.. I forgot to mention my d-stroked K24 revs to 9,200rpms and has a GT35R, and I roll around on Mickey Thompson ET Street :giggity:

Guess what size? 315/30-18 with a 18x12 wheel.

Yes I hook like a bitch.
