Reply With QuoteWhat is your goal out of your setup?
the A3 is not the best choice to build up imo because I believe the walls are too thin.
Got a 2003 ep3 with a k20z1 head swap, running a revhard turbo kit. What internals should i buy and in what order? And i have absolutely no idea which brands are recommended. Thanks for the help.

Toda makes some pretty hard internals
Buddy Club is also a good option wen it comes to cams and wat not!
It's just my dd and i will not be taking it to the track or anything but i do have fun with her sometimes out on the highway and the roads and such. I just figured It;d be best to replace internals so i don;t damage anything too seriously and have to replace the whole block or whatever. Aftermarket internals should handle the turbo more eficiently no?
ya your rite well i guess you could go Skunk2 they have different stages. so you should chek out wich one fits your driving needs, since its your dd, look into the stage 2's?
Just looked at those toda ones but they look pricy lol. And what internals should i purchase in what ordeR? pistoms, rods, bearings, valves and all that crap
I am running an a4 motor but I have TSX rods, those should be fine. that was what went on my setup with my CN kit. As long as you have a decent tune and don't do anythign drastic while driving you will be fine.
from what i remember correctly, toda is geared more towards N/A setups not turbo. To be honest with you though, mitch has been running stock head for years and years now. Hes went from 300-600+ with stock head. If anything, get a different block and just build the bottom end. Don't worry about the head.Originally Posted by ep3junkiie
Hondatuner-What block would you suggest would be the best and most reliable fit?
almost fast- So your saying i really don't need to replace internals if the tuning was done well and I'm not going crazywith it?
ya dude toda some high end internals..;]

try this site they got some alrite prices...
well ya but he has the stock a3 block and z1 head! if it was me i would jus look for the rite tsx block and go FRANKENSTEIN you know?
and of course stay N/A!!
They use the same EXACT cylinder liners as the A2.
The main issue with building the A3 are the smaller bearing surfaces on the crank.
For the TS, get Kpro first off. The stock A3 has a lower CR and works very well with some boost. and is the only time the 3lobe head actually benefits the A3.

The rods are the weak point in the a3.. You can get stock a2 rods and crank for cheeaap, just use your stock pistons and your good for well over 400 dd'ing it.
The non oil squirter blocks are the best to build, k20a3,k24a1/a4 etc.
ding ding ding. i was going to recommend a k24a1
