    Show me an a3 that handles 300+ and does so for more than a few thousand miles of solid beatings and I'll retract my statement...
    Mini-odyssey05's a3 made 300whp and his car is fine. And Dan made 272whp so why wouldnt the a3 be able to maintain that? Just because its a shitty engine compared to other K series doesnt meant it still cant hold its own

    Well, as Pooptooth said, when you compare it to the other K-Series motors, it is pretty weak. 300whp can be maintained with a great tune and smart maintenance, but you can't get much more than that. When you compare that to a K20Z1 running 550whp on stock internals and pump gas daily driven, the A3 just doesn't hold up. Regardless of this, these numbers are freaking amazing for a JRSC setup. Kudos man and as already said, get some pics and vids up of this beast. I want to hear that S/C sceeeeeeeeeeeam!

    well i dont want to go insane, and i dont want to have to rev the A3 over 7700, i want to stay where i am at redline wise, and if i go with a stage 2 or so i'd have to take it higher to make power

    omg that'd be awesome man, i should consider doing that and lowering the boost about 2 psi, i dont think the a3 would take all that

    you wouldn't have to go over 7700 to make power with the stage II's. My power died off after 7200 with those cams, but that was back when I had a dcrh, I have no clue what it would have done with my krrh and a larger exhaust. I originally wanted to go JRSC w/meth and or nitrous on my k24a1, but now I am leaning towards turbo. But I look forward to your next move.

    The A3 is not that good. I am trying to figure how this A3 260whp on 7psi. When I had a SC A3 I made 202whp with 9psi. On the same dyno, after swapping out the A3 for an 04 K24a2 on 6psi / RH/3"E/Kpro I made 263whp. I know the dyno I tune on reads low but damn. The A3 I had spun a bearing so fast after the way I drive, I had to swap.

    he did 260 on 10.9psi without meth. From the adding cooling he got 272. Now I believe this is the highest hp jrsc a3 ever, no doubt about that, not trying to knock it down at all, but I have seen results from someone on xenocron going to a dynojet and losing 6-7% with just a stock a2. But that would still make this over 250hp to the wheel on a dynojet. Regardless it's a huge jump from where he was at 7psi. Shit should rock pretty good.
