so instead of buying parts and realizing they dont make power
i figured id talk to some people that have already done it and know what makes power

so what makes power on a k20a itr motor

right now im thinking the basics
intake- probally going with a aem cold air
header- which one?
exhaust-type 1 b pipe and spoon n1, maybe somthing different
hondata intake manifold gasket
hondata reflash, which one?
baffled oil pan, which is best and which gives best clearance in a dc2 chassis
and exedy clutch
toda flywheel
and a j's engine torque dampner

thats about all iv got right now


im hoping you guys can fill me in with some parts that make nice power on these motors, im familiar with b series motors and know what makes power with them, but have no clue about k series


any and all help whould be very appreciated

 

I've got a K20a in my Ep3 Putting down 215 whp 155 ft lbs on a dynojet.
The aem or injen cai are both nice units that work well. I'm running a aem. I've got a mugen n1 header that works well but is a bit pricey. You should try a prototype racing or dtr header (if he makes one). I highly recommend going k-pro if your budget allows. The K20a is real touchy with its high compression and you will need to capabilities to tune so you wont knock as much. I have still not been able to get a tune that doesnt at least knock a bit from 3000-3500 rpm depending on load and which gear you are in. Sorry, No info on the oil pans. Hope any of this helps

 

good info

thanks


the reason i wanted the reflash is so the ecu will work in my car, will the k pro do the same thing


so your making 215 with just an intake a header and k pro or do you have more
