i have an 02 rsx base model and i have an aem v2 intake, hks ground wires, teins s-techs, and a 5zigen pro racer a-spec exhaust system, im planing on getting next some dc headers or megan racing headers. But apart from all this wat else can u do to the base model???? anybody w/a base rsx is welcome 2 post up pics of their k20a3's as an example as to wat i am looking for

 

i do have a base model (05) AN YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING WITH IT THATS WHY IAM PLANNING TO CHANGE THE HEAD TO A A2 HEAD WITH THE SAME BLOCK AND ADD A TURBO TO REACH WHAT a type s could never reach power without suffering of a over pressure on the head due to a high compression ration cause i will still on a 9.8:1 ( type-s is 10.8:1 i think not sure ) at lease i will try something nobody will !!!!

 

actually the compression ratio is 11.0:1

 

and the type s block has stronger internals. higher cr or not, it is the better, stronger platform for boost. sorry to burst your bubble.

 

if your that into boot i would recommend a K20/K24 hybrid engine more liters for the boost and you get a lot more torque

haha... That just knocked all the cool out of his walk... Walk it off buddy

 

wat do u suggest doing 2 a k20a3???? i already got the basics except for the headers.....by the way do u think the dc race header is worth the money and time??

 

With boost, you could run 250/300 whp on the A3 with no problems. That's plenty for a front-drive car.

Also consider KPro or K100 and a 6-speed tranny. Cams are available for both n/a and boosted setups.

At this point, any worthwhile mods are going to start costing a lot more money than what you've done so far.

yep, im a base owner myself but at least i dont fool myself.

boost is the only real power adder for the a3, at least for now, there are supposedly a few sets of cams in the works, so we will see what n/a has in store in the coming months.

 

You can do anything you want with the right resources (eg. Money)

very true... The K series motor all together is still in the development process as far as modifications go... Just image what is going to be avialable 2 years from now. I cant wait to see a great bolt on manifold that is going to add great power.
