300 whp possible?

[neoamd]

Is there any way to avoid this shortening? And how long would te engine last on average with that? I would be happy with 275, would that make it last longer? As far as the k24 goes, would I just swap in the motor and everything would bolt up except for the flywheel? If so would I need to just upgrade the a3 flywheel with a lighter more durable one or would I need to swap out to a a2 clutch and flywheel? Sorry for all the questions guys, I just figured I would throw it all out there at once haha

The A3 will last as long as you take care of it, don't over rev it, never mis-shift (IE from 5th -> 3rd), and be sure to check everything out every few thousand miles.

The K24A1 (CRV Motor) drops right in and all you need is the K24 side motor mount. Also if swap motors buy a set of Innovative 60A Motor Mounts (good idea no matter what mods you do - stock motor mounts SUCK).

Don't check out and use the A3 Fly setup. Just buy a stock A2 flywheel and have it resurfaced. Also you can prob find a cheap Stage 1 or Stock Type S clutch for cheap that will deal with the power better.

I found my CRV long block with 24-27K (don't remember exactly) for under $800 bucks shipped to my house. I paid about $700 for a nice complete A2 head to mate the CRV block with. Well worth it IMO.

The JRSC setup is great for a DD and you will love the insta-torque (atleast for a Honda anyways ). My car is nearly done! Can't wait to abuse the hell out of it!!

the only super charger that was able to hit over 300whp easily in an k20a3 was the rotrex supercharger...Remember the former member civichbsi209. He had it and was able to hit close to 400whp on a k20a3 killing corvettes etc. but he had to custom it and cut his hood. Now I don't know if this would be a good thing for DD but his car is a monster and unfortunately if I remember, he parted out his car and sold his ep3 it to his cousin. He sometimes jump in here once in a long time.

isnt that the kit that cost like 4k without kpro?

pretty sure an aftercooler is impossible to fit in the ep3 body

Wow, thanks a lot man. So the k24 will fit with everything even my Race header? I had read somewhere that you had to buy a special swap style header to fit since the k24 was larger? Also, so I can get an a2 spec flywheel and it fit with my a3 clutch? Or do I have to get an a2 clutch as well? I was also wondering does the A/C and P/S from the a3 work with the k24?

There's no special header. Depending on the header. Some get lucky, some are running the em2 sway bar on the header clearance.

If you get a a2 flywheel, you'll need a a2 clutch. They have different bolt patterns.

We have eps so our powersteering is not belt driven. Some electric bullshit.

Yes you can use your a/c, just swap it over. It's interchangeable.

Where can I find one of these KW24A1?? Sounds pretty sweet man!!

I think he had it on his hood.

Here's a link for it ---> http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthr...omments/page20

Everything will work the same for the k24a1. That's what so great bout our cars cuz its direct swap wit lil modifications.

Basically if you go a3 flywheel you have to go a3 clutch and visversal for the a2

Incorrect. You just need to run the complete RSX JRSC setup NOT the EP3 version. Trust me I know - plus I have a few extra goodies in there too.

Blah, I was tired man - cut me some slack. My frank is now fully assembled. Tomorrow I will be cleaning it, prepping it, painting it, then clearing it. Also my SC Manifold and A2 Valve Cover will be leaving for powder coating soon along with a few other parts coming and going.

New power goal for me is 350whp minimum and a hopefully closer to ~370whp I'd love to beat on some newer M3s, Camaros, and the non Z06/ZR1 Vettes.

I'll update my mod list in my thread later but I'll let the pictures do the talking
