Those who bag on the k20a3 are aware that the block is essentially a k20a2 without the oil squirters and OE forged parts... right?

All you need is used k20a2 crank rods and pistons that meet OE spec and you can build a k20a2 bottom end. Pick up k20a2 used cams and four more exhaust rockers and kill VTEC and you'll have a 200hp engine.

This can be done for less than 1k. That's a hell of a lot cheaper than a swap OR turbo kit.

Of course it is... but it gives you the durability that everyone seems to think the a3 lacks... a better base platform.

With those changes, could the S/C still work?

I have a A3 w/ the JRSC, and find it interesting you could do that. Would be nice to know if I could do that and still keep my S/C added for the added power as well and not blow the head/block.

What about engine management??

KPro... or EMS. I tend to take that for granted as an option. I just assume everyone would get one or the other. lol

Which pushes the cost of a swap over 2 k. Why isn't there open source tuning again?
