Hi i am looking in getting either a dc5 type-s or an ep3, i was wondering if anybody knows the max NA power output for the dc5 type-s vs the ep3? any help wud greatly appriciated in making my decsion on buying the car!! thank you in advance!!

 

Max power depends upon how much money you want to spend.

Your question is too open-ended and not nearly specific enough.

 

if funds are unlimited
skies the limit

 

i want to spend about $5k on the engine, all NA thou

 

5 grand, n/a?
i would guess:
cai/rh/e/cammed/rbc/k-pro/tune
would still be under 5 grand
that's probably around 4-4500 for all new parts
240-250whp maybe that range?

but for that kind of money why don't you just turbo it since you just want the max hp
it can easily set you pass the 250whp mark

 

i dont want the risk of **** breaking with a turbo,i was thinking about a jrsc but idk i really want a strong NA car, that power amount 200-250whp is that for ep3 or dc5-s?

 

for ep3 can i exchange heads and internals with the base dc5?

yeah you can but what would be the point.. they are both the same motor. You're not going to gain any power.

You are going to brake **** regardless NA or Boost.

 

get the dc5 type s. You have a better engine to build on.

that 5k will go further on the k20a2 than the k20a3 (ep3).

 

thanx!! i figured as much but i didnt know for sure. wud it be possible to convert the ep3 into the dc5-s motor? what the main diff between the 2?

 

for the amount of money/work/time its going to take to make a a3 exactly like an a2
it wouldn't even be worth it

if your stuck with a a3, the best option (and my recommendation) would be to turbo it

its safe if tuned correctly
i would actually feel safer with a turbo than a fully built motor

^ Ditto

If you want to make your A3 exactly like an A2 you might as well just buy the motor and pull the A3 out. Good thing about if you do that, it will bolt right up. User friendly

Please do some research before asking questions of this type. We have covered many, many times what the motor differences are.

After you do some searching (on this forum, the internet, etc), then come back and ask any uspecific questions that you may have and we'll be glad to try and help.
