hahaha well good thing for me i live within 300 miles. I have just a real quick question, i was reading online about the K20A3 and A LOT of people have been calling it slow and it doesnt have real vtec. They were talking about putting in an A2 head, what are the benefits of doing this and whats the price tag? thanks.

Not worth it. The k20a3 is what it is, just a watered down version of the type s engine. But its low compression is good for turbo up until 350ish whp. If you're interested in more power, skip the supercharger route (its good if you're just wanting to up the power and have fun but not good for serious racing) and go with kpro first, then swap, then turbo. The good thing about our cars is there is a lot of stuff you can do if you have the money and wisely use it.

oh okay. I was thinking about going turbo. but i'm still new to this whole 4 banger scene lol my last ride was a 5.7 HEMI soo work with me here lol. what is kpro and when you say swap, swap what? the entire engine? and swap it with what? I'm all about wanting to go fast but i'd like to do it on a budget if you know what i mean.

lol I hear ya. Hondata KPro is an ECU upgrade that allows you to change any and everything about the way the engine functions. You won't need it for minor modifications like intake/header/exhaust, but with pretty much anything else like cams, engine swaps, headswaps, boost, etc you'll need it. And I definitely feel on you the budget thing haha. I'll post up some link that I find throughout the day to kinda get your feet wet.
What brought you from a 5.7 hemi to the ep??
