Can't remember the exact specifics, but I think it has to do with the position of your coolant passage location. Most will work, but I can't say for sure yours will

I believe the k20 is also more ideal in terms of certain architectural considerations (rod/stroke ratio for one) which indicate that it is theoretically more stout. There is still no replacement for displacement in terms of pure numbers but that doesn't negate that a k20 may be preferred in some instances.

Using the look of someone's front bumper of a second+ car as a proxy to their bank account/net worth is pretty stupid. It's really bad logic and pretty insulting. Lots of times, the ones with the fanciest front bumpers are the most broke. The ones with the beat up bumpers laugh at the ones with the fancy bumpers for thinking they fancy.
Thanks for the backup, I figured the engine was more important than the bumper haha

skip to 6:05 for why he went K20 over K24. Pretty sure it's not because he's a broke ass....

Honestly, I went K20 cause it was already in my garage, but I do like the revs

Thank you! Talented is a stretch lol

Hey! I just bought a K swapped S2k and know little about how the AC works. Can you walk me through how you connected the heater core hoses and AC lines?
