    What do you think is best way for engine swapping a k20a halfcut dc5 or just buy the engine only?

    Thanks.

    IIRC a half cut gets you the wiring harness along with the transmission as opposed to just the engine.

    If the halfcut also contains more parts than just the engine then you have spares to use.

    I think you mean what's the best way to acquire a K20, not best way of swapping. It might be too dangerous to weld the front clip from a half-cut into a project car.

    AFAIK, they no longer allow half-cut importations na.. so more likely just engine with parts rather than the whole half-cut.

    Halfcut wala pa pero k20a meron kaso yung iba na nakita ko PRC embed pero PRB ang tranny.Meron naman sa ibang shop PRC nga pero dun sa tranny wala yung sticker kung PRC.
    Yung nakita ko pa sa iba meron nga straight PRC pero yung sticker parang kinabit lang at baka binuo lang.
    How much does a halfcut dc5 cost?
    Yung conversion kit wala pa din kaya antay pa rin ako.
    Once na dumating na yung kit from dun dere derecho na.
