Default About how much gain from 12.5:1 pistons?

I have an EP3 and want to stick to all motor. How much gain could I expect from these pistons? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V What else should I get when doing this?

Would it be better to just get k20a parts and try making my a3 a type r? About how much would all those parts cost? Thanks

I'm no mechanic, nor have I ever done any engine work on any Honda . . . but, I'm pretty sure it would be much more cost effective (time- and money-wise) to buy and K20A, rather than tracking down and buying each part you'll need to make the transformation.

get k20a2 cams and rocker arms find the DIY on how to put these in a K20A3 head allowing vtec to engage in both intake and exhaust cams, along with a race header and k-pro tuned you can make about 200 WHP
