the a3 head will severely limit your cam choices. you need to either do an a2/z1/z3 head or vtec killer conversion.

The a2 head costly with install, if u got a semi price range that would be awsome.

I'm not a huge fan of cams with a roots supercharger. Are you just looking for more power? Upgrade your crank pulley or supercharger pulley... buy an aftercooler or run meth

a friend of mine saw 272whp on an A3 that was stock internals with a meth kit. i can't remember what his pulley combo was but 8psi sounds like just the street kit with the 4.0" pulley

I went from 9.5 PSI to 11.5 PSI by just switching to the larger accord crank pulley ( Honda part # is 13810-R40-A01, and the pulley is 6.37" diameter ).

my setup is k20a3 w/JRSC, 3.8" SC Pulley, accord crank pulley, modified auto tensioner, 440 RC injectors, skunk2 stage 1 N/A cams. been told I need to go with bigger injectors and/or a meth kit.

See you only have an A3.... That is your BIGGEST set back. No offence but it's a worthless engine. A supercharger isn't going to make any good power on that engine. Hell even a good turbo kit is limited because of the engine.


I was running a 07 K24A2 swap, JRSC with 3" BP, Accord CP, 750cc Injectors, NorBilt Aftercooler and HR 70mm TB tuned on Kpro of course.
