i have a jasckson supercharger only pushing 7 psi with k-pro, magnaflow exhaust system 2.5, aem intake, exedy lightweight flywheel. its the k20a3 motor, which aint the greatest of the k series but im on a mission, im going to be buying cams and valvetrain, not sure which are the best cuz i know k series are picky, money really aint a issue either, id like to know if i should bore stroke it while the head is taken apart for the valvetrain, if so how much over is safe. thanks for the help!

since you're boosted you could up the boost with a smaller pulley and maybe put an a2 head on. you would be low compression still with a better flowing head and vVVVVVVVVVTEEECCCCCCCCCCCC@@$#JKEFNSMD + water injection.

idk im just throwing it out there. the bottom end is limited to 300hp. i haven't heard of anyone doing this but i dont really follow anyone in the first place. it makes sense to me tho.

get a new motor if you want to hit 400

aftercooled lysholm twin screw, k24a2 or k24a1/k20a2 head would net 400-430whp :thumbu: as stated i dont think anyone has yielded much over 300whp on the a3

Bore it out to 87mm. Use a k24a1 crank with custom rods and newer k24z pistons/rings. Slap in a block guard. Use either a k24a1 head with k20a2 rocker assy and cams with flipped pin VTEC, or a complete k20a2 head. Use a k24z crank pulley. Add meth. Let us know how it goes.

im assuming this would yield a 2.2l franken-engine? for some reason i dont think that would still net 400 whp :shrug: for that i feel aftercooling may still be necessary, but i'm not completely certain

k24a2 vtec killer+ 3076r will net you 400.

lose the motor and the supercharger.

false on the losing of the supercharger--you dont have to lose it, but you wont get there with your typical roots blower :thumbu:

It would give you a 2.3. And there is no replacement for displacement. More cc always makes more power, all other parameters remaining the same for comparison sakes.

i cant agree more--i am a huge fan of displacement :mbiggrin:

on the other hand, i dont think i have seen 400 whp with the use of a roots blower. twin screw is a different story

Roger that. There's some discussion about the m62's capability on a 2.4. Honestly I think it did just fine on mine...but I wasn't in search of big power numbers either. IMO 400whp in a Civic is pointless... but hey whatever. LOL!

I have the above setup in the works. Its goin on the engine stand as soon as my 2L is in the EJ. Already have the crank pistons and block. ; )
