    numbers on na a3

    whats the best numbers somebodys gotten on a nat aspirated a3 engine. What kind of work did you do? Because i was considering maybe doing camwork. I know everyones gonna say to swap but i dont have that kind of cash. . so if somebody could pick up my spirit and tell me it was possible to get 165ish to the wheels i would be stoked.

    No. It's going to cost more then a swap to get some high whp from the a3. If your are looking for that kind of power then it would be cheaper to swap in a k24 then it would be to have cams installed and tuned.

    i agree. but if you only want about 170 to the wheels just put some bolt ons and k-pro.

    this maysound stupid, but i rather have a a2 or z1 in my car than 180 hp a3..
    i was planning to do, cams and bolt on.. but at the end i put a z1 in my car...
    i'm loving it every moment of it...its better out of the box period...
    i'm running roughly 200-210 to the wheel. with just bolt on..
    i'm sure i'll put out more with buddy RH, RBC intake + CAI( just a3 short ram)

    Jaeguyoon (or some similar spelling) got 190 whp with a k24a1 head and cams. That's the highest NA a3 I've seen.
