HAHAHAHAHA tell the kid you heard that from to stop sniffing the nitrous. Swap in a 2.4(LD9), 2.2 Ecotec(L61), or a 3X00 series v-6. They all are alot easier to swap in than that K20.

Not only do I find this post to be @!#$ downright stupid, but the K20 is a popular Honda engine.

To the OP... i'd have someone else do any sort of motor swap for you until you learn more about engines... now that someone else should probably NOT be the guy who told you a honda engine is a nissan engine and that its popular swap in to our cars...

Ummmm no the quad 4's dont blow fast..... some people have problems with the coils some times (like me).... but my 2.4 is more than happy to rev through its power band all day withought complaining. I've never actually had any problems with the engine itself. They are actually fiarly reliable rev happy engines.

Also... I thought that a K20 was what came in US versions of the 240sx...... If thats a honda engine.... then whats the Nissan engine that came in 240's then? If anyone says SR20DET im gunna smack you LOL I'm talking about the US versions.

I know there were SR20DE's in the early 90's US sentras. Thats what you could be thinking about. My high school buddy had one, it was a peppy car.

I said SR20DE, not SR20DET. So put that hand down.

thats because GMs original oem head gasket was declared defective...and has long since been remedied...the gaskets we use on them now dont have the same issues
