Ok...well my plan is as follows...i have a k20a3 at the moment. With i/e...about to get a header. Im gonna build my k20a3 with bc stage t cams and valvetrain of course...only cuz i will b swapping in a k24a1 or what not in future and can use the same cams and all. Currently im in the market for a header..and have heard about the clearance issues..of the k24 with header. I have a 02 ep3. So my debate is wether i should get a obx rc header or the one i really want the kiddracing rc header. Problem is they are 200 bux apart and inthe.future might not work with my k24? Any input is greatly appreciated :)

My friend has a k24 in his ep and he's using an obx header. He did have to bend the sway bar a little for clearance but other than that its mint. Also I'm not sure but I think the Kidd racing header is Rsx specific so u will need a Rsx mid pipe. Correct me if I'm wrong guys

KRRH is nice because you can have an EP3 spec "test pipe" section fabbed up without compromising the KRRH itself. However, with the stock KRRH it is an RSX-S spec piece.

I suggest KRRH if you're serious about building your motors. Also, to keep a serious all motor build reliable don't forget to pick up an aftermarket TCT and new timing chain if you plan on really upgrading cams and valvetrain. Also, a timing chain guide might be helpful.

timing chain tensioner. Hybrid Racing supposedly has a really good one, I have no experience with it though.
