SHOULD YOU BUY A K20A3? | K20A3 VS K20A2 | KSWAP DC2

[@justinkaczmarek1912]

I got a k20a3 swapped em2. Just a good tune and bolt ons and it’s honestly not bad. Almost as quick as my srt4 was.

[@dustinlloyd3783]

I enjoy these videos. I have the EP3 (Civic Si) and I see the A3 as being the better engine for daily driving. The A3 still has the potential for performance being that it is a K20. A lot of people like to talk bad about the A3, as if they don't understand what V-TEC is for; and that is "Volumetric Efficiency" (not full-blown performance). I find it funny that "V-TEC Killer" locks the cams into a bigger profile, yet when this happens on the factory tune; that is when "V-TEC kicks in, yo."

[@kadeemwillock6335]

Dustin Lloyd thanks alot man it is good to see alot more people appreciate the k20a3

[@Fishi413]

K20a3 has the ability to fit the cranks from the better k20 vtecs; so basically you can swap the crank and put a k20a2 oil pump. boost it and a reliable daily w k20a2 rod an piston combo.

[@simulatedpilot3441]

Just not Vtec until 3000rpm

[@carlmarkwyatt]

Great video. I didn't intend to watch the whole 15 minutes but it was fascinating and I couldn't look away. Thanks mate 👍

[@kadeemwillock6335]

Carl Wyatt appreciate it man, good to hear u sat through it as well lol

[@orioncrawford3099]

Bro keep up the hard work and thank you so much for giving credits for the Rsx Automatic

[@seroqu1537]

Perfect man! Basically important parts, shity piston heads n vtech on one side for a3

[@aaronp9835]

Hell yeah it’s worth it. For bolt ons with an A2 head/cam swap and hondata got me 210whp with injectors and fuel pump. Also 10.5lb flywheel for 2700$?Things rips. Went from 6800 redline to 7800. Nest i do supertech 12:1 pstons and ill make 230+who.

[@miguelnunezojeda3665]

a3 have alot of potential with the right bolt on set ups they still have alot of power wen you take to consideration when most a3s running crappy manifolds

[@yayin87films34]

This is a great video but I have a question i’m getting into the K serious game what type of or code comes from 2003 accord block? And P and L/to hell what is that come from I’m trying to purchase everything separate transmission block and the head. Thank you guys

[@200horsepower]

with hindata ecu and a2 cams for full vtec is fine,if u can put a2 pistons rods and crank u good,but stock is sucks

[@YTnMe]

I have a dc5 that's automanual with a k20a3 in it. I was wondering if changing my plastic intake manifold to something Skunk2 Ultra Series intake manifold would bolt on easily since its auto? Also want to change the headers since I have a nice yonaka exhaust with a test pipe... Is making these changes worth it? Will i have to get kpro or hondata if i am able to make these changes? Or do I have to manual swap it? Please someone help me out.

[@kadeemwillock6335]

That manifold is a major mod for a stock set up especially. You will need Kpro to get the best use out of any mod.

[@ueokatsuhiro]

What kind of hp if I were to mate a civic fd1 head (not sure whether its a3 or a2) with a type r Dc5 block ? Not expecting high hp though

[@kadeemwillock6335]

ueokatsuhiro 1st thing is to check what tyoe of motor the fd1 has. Is it r18?

[@ueokatsuhiro]

Kadeem Willock , correction bro...its from Honda odessey k20a engine

[@ueokatsuhiro]

Honda stream

[@aaronp9835]

A2 head is 200whp

[@Trash-horse]

A k20a2 from an integra trpeR is 200hp at the crank, not the wheels.

[@alexrenault3620]

as long as it's a Honda dohc!! ur budget will determine the power haha

[@pedrorodriguez8791]

Have k20a3

[@ventenueve100]

Nice info you know K series

[@ariesr4883]

Thanks bro u helped me out a lot. My k20z1 oil filter broke off the block so I was looking for info if I can use the k20a3 block and swap all the internals from my k20z1. Thanks again!

[@kadeemwillock6335]

oil filter broke? if my imagination is correct it should not affect alot on the engine block

[@ariesr4883]

Trust me bro I wish I can fix my block. My pass. side axle broke and half the shaft hit the oil filter ripping the aluminum mount off the block

[@kadeemwillock6335]

Aries Robillos wow well hopefully the internals are still good

[@ariesr4883]

Kadeem Willock internals are still good just oil pouring out from where the filter used to be... I was trying to see if I can save it by threading a -an fitting and relocate the filter and stopping it from draining or leaking.

[@ariesr4883]

Btw I found a k20a3 bottom end w/99k on it for Bill. lol

[@st3v3nb915]

nice!

[@joshuathomas4934]

Nah. Not worth to build an a3 unless you are doing a full on build. But you can daily drive a stock a3 or lightly modded a3 with the 5sp manual and still have a ton of fun. A3 isn’t a powerful engine. But it isn’t like the a2 is vastly superior engine. They are two motors built for 2 different things. Stop the a3 hate. It’s slow but runs for decades and decades. Much like any other Honda engine.

[@fa5joe860]

K20z’s are the way to good .
