I'm having a real hard time finding someone who makes a stage 2 or 3 camshaft for my 2002 civic SI.....i heard one just came out but other than that i have no other information on it. i want somthing to go good with a turbo setup. any one else upgrade their camshaft for this car?

 

There are no cams currently available for the K20A3 head. Crower is supposed to have something in the works, but to the best of my knowledge they have not even given a release date yet.

If you want cams you are going to have to do a head swap for a K20A2 head. Sucks, but there it is.

 

I may regret asking this question...but by chance do you know the cost of a k20a2 head. I looked a bit on the net and only found some guy with a used one for 700. i mean I wouldnt be losing TO much money cause i would turn around and hopefully make some of it back by selling the k20a3 head. i dont know. but i have a feeling i would like to do the swap because eventually i would like to get the camshaft, this intake manifold i was looking at and some cam gears. This seems to be the only way to do this, and i believe with the k20a2 head i would see some increase in power anyways. Im already getting the K-pro stand alone, so thats already done.

 

Like Lucid said, no cams for the A3 yet. $700 seems like a good deal as long as it is in good condition. From what I have seen they go from $600-800. Try all the spots: ebay, clubrsx, honda-tech, etc...Or just wait till some cams come out. Someone has to make them soon. Good Luck

 

one other thing that was just mentioned to me....if i did get the head swap.....would anything have to be done to the pistons, like bore them out....how is the connection from the head to the main body, is it incredibly different and need a ton of work to put it on? i just went to club RSX and saw a sweet package for a k-pro, valve springs, and a set of stage 2 cams from crower and it makes it even more tempting to swap! with my luck though, i get all this done and two months later they come out with the same stuff for the k20a3! how much better is the k20a2 head compared to the k20a3 head? Should i seriously just wait for the parts to be made for my current engine? It cant be that long of a wait.....or can it?! ahhhhhhhh!

 

I haven't done the headswap myself, but from what I understand it is pretty much a straight bolt up situation. No modification to the block, head, or internals needed. Several people have done the swap so ask around on here, or ephatch, or k-series and someone will know more
