The 08 Si K20Z3 Transmission also comes with an LSD, but in order to make it work with an RSX shifter you have to switch out the shifter mech (on top of the tranny) with one from an RSX-S.
You got a swap like I want......I need to talk to you more! In terms of the Z3 trans in our shell, don't you have to tap a hole bigger to get that A2 shift mechanism in?
Thanks for all the info guys. Over the last few weeks, I have been researching the swap a lot. It is friggin' mind blowing how involved it is. Much more to it than I thought with the glances I gave it before. The price for just parts to get the swap up and running is growing everyday lol. Hybrid Racing Mounts, conversion harness, 2.9 DSS axles (gonna run drag radials at least), and (from what it looks like) a hytech replica header will cost me around $1800-2000!!! And thats a package deal.
And then on top of that, I would still need the shifter box, shift cables, Kpro or go home, clutch line, fuel lines, fpr, walbro pump, etc. I am somewhat flexible on buying used parts but mostly would feel better with new parts. I think I wil need to be more flexible as the cost sheet builds. Hoping to have enough $$$ for the motor/trans/mounts/harness/and whatever else I can afford by June (summer break) so I can at least get it started so I keep pinching pennies so its finished and running down the 1/4 mile before August (Fingers crossed)
Pulling the B16 and selling goodies by early April....I will start a for sale thread with the list then
I will have for sale: (b/c the K swap is $$$, I need to sell this stuff first)
Complete JDM B16A longblock w/USDM engine harness/R-12 AC/PS
EG6 OEM mounts
USDM B16A3 Intake Manifold/USDM B series TB
CTR B16B Camshafts in great shape
All 32 ITR Valve Springs (2 per valve)
98 spec JDM ITR header/heat shield(s)/skid plate
Virgin USDM P30 ECU for CA smog certification
Magnaflow muffler&resonator/Trust mandrel bent 60mm exhaust (super custom lol)
Obviously, some of this stuff would be a pain in the a$$ to ship but, for the most part, I will offer this stuff up here first. I would rather pass on healthy, legit parts to this site then have to start another Craigslist Nightmare thread. But, inevitably, I will have to Cragislist some of this stuff.
B16A Transmission already sold to Magana (member here) once I pull it.
Give me your opinions on the value of a stock B16A longblock. Its got good compression, burns no oil (in comparison to my old B18B1 for sure) and it just passed smog not too long ago. I need to get as much out of it as possible lol.
