    Lost on what next

    well guys i can beleive im saying this but i want more power already, but i think im at the a3's limits. i was contemplating the ivtec killer setup on the a3 but i think it would pop as it would make over 300whp. but what a bout a swap? should i do a k20a2 mated to my 5 speed or a k24a1 vtec killer setup? opinions are welcome

    Have you ported your TB yet?
    Ported and cleaned up the SC manifold?
    Port-matched inlet to TB?
    Done research on who your gonna send the SC to clean it up? Maybe port and clean up inside the Eaton unit?
    What about changing your cams to a SC Stage2? Less boost... but you'll put less stress on the motor and gain some power while your at it too.
    You add some meth?
    Change your CP pulley?
    You look into getting a more "custom" header like say a SSR or Hytech?
    What about exhaust, you running a 3"?
    Injen RSX-S CAI on that puppy or custom 3" for that matter?
    Could always swap out the JR header to a RSX-S and run an aftercooler.


    just giving you some ideas that are easier to do than to swap the engine out. I haven't been following your recent activities so some of the above mentions items you've probably already done.

    You never even ran it at the track yet post some times first. But look into swapping parts to the RSX JR manifold. Or k24a2 and Twin Screw it!

    you have some valid points, i havent ported the TB or the inlet casting yet, nor have i ported the inlet manfold. i have a 2.75" cai and a 3" exhaust with the Kiddracing header, and im running meth with a 10gph nozzle. i am considering a 75mm throttle body and a matched inlet casting. when it comes down to it the blower will be sent to steighmeir for a full rebuild and manifold and blower porting. the only thing im worried about with cam choosing is these engines seem picky to cam choice on a blown setup. when superchargedk20 (original owner of my kit) had the crower stg2's he made 265 on meth at 9psi where i made 261 at 10.9psi without meth. so thats why im worried about making the wrong choice and selecting a cam that i have to rev to the moon. Im wondering if i can get the A3 to hold up to the vtec killer setup

    haha nooo i havent tracked it yet. its pointless on street tires, im either running 24" slicks or 26" mickey thompson drag radials at the track once my clutch goes in. im hoping for a 12 second timeslip. i want to be in JRSC A2/Z1 territory

    That throttle body is quite expensive.

    Anything Hybrid Racing makes is TOP of the line. I have seen quite a few of their parts and have been impressed with all of them. Not to mention, BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! Hybrid racing is the American Mugen IMO
