Over the past year the prices and values for even the K20a2 have sky rocketed. The value of the K20aR complete swap has gone up $3,000 from hmotorsports. To retain their warranty, it costs even more out of pocket about another $750 by the parts you have to purchase.

 

The world is severely broken right now. It has been a long time since I looked at prices for these engines, but I knew they used to be a heck of a lot cheaper. I am about to dump $5,000 on a K20A with a transmission. When I got stationed in Japan in 2018 I bought an EP3 Type R for $6,000; crazy, crazy, crazy.

 

$5000 for a K20aR (PRC) swap is stellar deal. They are $7500 now

 

My goodness! That is literally insane. I'm here thinking $5,000 is highway robbery, some people are getting $7,500?

 

HMO is. I dont blame them. They made way less of the good K20a's, K20a2, K20Z1, K20Z3 vs K24. and the k24 guys are using up all the K20 parts, the head, oil pumps,

 

Well, I am picking up the Type R engine/trans, harness/ECU tomorrow. I just have a quick question for you guys. I know the K20z1 ECU and harness will work fine with the K20A Type R engine/trans, but is it better/safer to use the actual Type R ECU and harness?

 

I should note: The Engine/ECU/harness came from a Japanese Accord Euro R.

 

the ECU's are for different intake manifolds, cylinder heads, compression, and header. should be fine most will say, I would be Kpro, Kpro, all day long

 

Thanks man! You are always on top of it. I have another question I can't seem to find the answer to. So we know the 2002-2004 RSX-S use a low freq VSS and the 2005-2006 is high freq. Are the JDM Type R K20A the same? The guy I just bought the K20A Accord Euro R engine/trans/ECU from told me it was from a 2005, but it turns out its from a 2004. I do not see the VSS on the back of the trans like the K20A2.
