i know a car that fits all 3 categories...

1. buy a EG shell hatchack ($2grand)
2. K20A2 Motor ($5grand)
3. Custom turbo kit ($3grand)
4. Tuned properly ($600)

End result = 300+WHP fast, cheap, reliable, lightweight, and atleast 25mpg+ when not in boost = just under $10 grand!

If you got three grand, you got a JRSC-R. "Easy" install, it comes with k-pro, the larger injectors, just bolt it up and say hello 200 whp.

I guess I should say easy to install is relative. It's a lot easier than an engine swap, but more difficult than changing your own oil. It depends how mechanical you are.

You can download tuning directly to the k-pro from Hondata. If all you are doing is the SC I wouldnt mess with getting it turned, just download the base map.

Jackson Racing Supercharger for EP3. Price $3095.

Then you got the Greddy turbo kit for $2600. It says for 03-04 on Modacar site so I'm not sure if they just skipped over the '02 accidently.

Both probably give similar power. The JRSC uses one of the best tuning devices available for Honda's, while the Greddy kit would allow you to run an intercooler for safer operation. Also the JRSC says not CARB certified, while Greddy says they are (if thats an issue to the OP). Tough choice.

200whp?! Sorry but 3k wont cut it. Yes you can get kpro and the jrsc kit for 3k (IF THE DEAL IS STILL ON WITH SHOWSTOPPERS) but you need larger injectors and you'll probably want a smaller pulley, on top of that you need to tune and dyno your kpro, and install on everything....goodluck getting it all for 3k.

Listed is $10,600

On top of that, you didn't add the Hasport motor mounts which are $2,000+

You're lookin at ~$13,000.

The larger injectors come with the race kit, as does a smaller pulley, thus making it a "race" kit. If all you have on the car is the SC Hondata's tuning will work out fine. 3k may be overly optimistic, but if you do the install yourself you are going to be close to 3k and really close, if not at, 200 whp.

with $3k, you can do stage 1 upgrades. intake, exhaust upgrades should help the car breath better. Might want to consider chipping the car or look into weight reduction.
