And god damn! K20A are not cheap for you! It cost 3.5k CAN for a full Type S swap over here. And when I mean full it's almost everything.

Well that's where the motor was shipped from

PS you will NEVER see 240whp from that motor with the parts you've listed. Not without MAJOR headwork and some serious tuning. A transmission doesn't add or free up any horsepower last I checked, lol.

As for the price, perhaps it has gone down since last I investigated. Still most people I know who do their own installs report spending around $6k start to finish (including the motor/ tranny).

kinda pisses me off how he treats all his cars, cuz when he crashes or f's-one up, he just asks daddy and he gets a new one

Killer deal. For a minute I thought you were talking about the k-series from the 03 EP3, I was about to say .... But the 06 Si k20 stacks up nicely with the type-s, since they're close to the same. If you can get the parts for the prices you're claiming, there's really no reason not to do it
