Reply With QuoteDont waste the money on a A2 head swap. Take that A2 head and put it on a K24A1 bottom end.
The A2 head on the A3 will be mediocre at best.
How's it going? I have just bought an Ep3 and i think its awesome, my first honda. I was looking around and i am interested in an A2 Head swap, i wanted some feedback on this swap. Did it wake your Ep3 up? Does it feel like this is the way the SI should have been made? I also want to know what everyone thinks about using Skunk2 parts to rebuild the head, cams, cam gears, springs, valve and retainers. i dont want to do to much to the Ep3 even though im sure that seems like alot. I want to build the a2 head, an intake, exhasut, header and k-pro in terms of engine performance. So any input or feedback is greatly appreciated.

Skunk 2 is crap IMO.
Brain Crower is the way to go for reliable horsepower.
what tranny to run with that a2 head on an a1 block?

Skunk 2 sucks dont even waste your time on it.....Brian crower all the way....you wont be sorry messing with brian crower.....and instead of buying a a2 head swap just buy a k24 motor and swap it in your ep3 will definitely pull harder then a a2 swap on your stock a3 motor
Agreed, K24 = awesome daily
Ok i left a little piece of info out... the car has 10,000 miles on it so i dont wanna scrap a brand new engine i just want to give this one a little bit of a wake up
Wake it up with some Boost. The K20a3 response very nicely to it.
I was thinking of boosting but i just got done with an eclipse gst and wanted to try something else
supercharger or turbo kit works very well. you can run 10 psi very nicely.
Do what I am doing. I dont want to scrap my 40000 miles K20A3.
So, what I am doing to satisfy myself is getting something new one at a time. Each time I get something new, I feel satisfied.
Get an intake; next 3 months or less, get a header; next exhaust; then kpro; then a supercharger.
It's a technique called "rewarding/treating yourself"
more like 3 days
Then don't scrap it! Sell it and recoup some of the cost of the swap or save it for a rainy day...
i really wanted to get an a2 head and build it, i figured it would make more power but from what i'm reading i guess its not worth it, so i guess for now i'm gonna settle for an intake,header,exhaust and a reflash... thank you to everyone who posted, all very good information and suggestions anymore just keep the coming
