what is the difference in the 2.0 from the 03-05 si to the 06-present civic?? it says that its 37 hp was it different head cams or intake???

 

03-05: k20a3
06-present: k20z1
look up the specs and youll have your answer

 

fixed.

 

And its '02-'05.

 

Z1 is 05-06 RSX-S

 

i really hate the motor in the ep3...with a passion
shouldve gotten the k20a2(rsx-s 02-04) motor

the differences between k20a3 vs k20a2/z1/z3 are all over the internet..if you look

the difference between the k20a3 in ep3 vs k20a3 in base rsx is the intake mani...and...stuff that i cant remember but its not much

to save yourself the trouble of k swapping a car...buy one already swapped like this one ---------------------------------------------------> http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthr....-FL)-9-999.00

also the suspension is very different in the 8thgen(06+ si)

...hate to be that guy but google is your friend in this case
you're just not searching hard enough if you can't find it or you suck at researching stuff


IMO the 8thgen si beats the ep3
but i bought an ep3 anyways because i like the way it looks more and theres less of them on the roads(actually almost none) around where i live

 

well yeah the a3 has only 160 hp and i agree with you it sucks our cars only came with it but it has a lot of potential too and if you know what you were doing it can kick *** too
i have a friend who has a base rsx(auto) no engine modification, meagan coilovers and a racing tires, hes driving in canyons and hes taking on faster cars bro.
i was in this video and after that night i started loving my a3 bro

thats a dope road man...where is that?

to be fair that road was really windy thats how the rsx kept up with the other cars

on a road with more straights it woulda been a different story

 

He's keeping up because the front car has to spot blind corners and can't drive as aggressively. Pretty reckless anyways. :p

 

its here in socal
little tujunga canyon

idk about being reckless but this guys were crazy they drive there almost everynight
you cant really see the speedometer but those guys tackle those corners doing 60 and up MPH which i cant handle with my ep3 stock suspension
plus that dc5 is automatic but with racing tires and meagan streets
you cant really tell the way they drive in the video but crazy thats all i can say......

 

closest thing we have in austin is lime creek rd but its not as crazy as that
