Reply With QuoteThere's a couple stock k20's hitting 600whp on stock internals using the gt42r. It doesn't spool up for shit, but if you just want the numbers, that's how to do it.
Wondering If its internals are any stronger or different then any of the other k series motors. My tuner has a turbo kit on his RSX-s at about 450 at the wheels for nearly 2 years now bone stock and the trans is just now f'in up.
I was curious if with about 8-10 pounds of boost could i accomplish the same basically. I was told by him he seen the k20a hold 500 whp. I am looking at the fullrace stage 2 kit if that makes any differance.
I would eventually swap out the bottom end for a built one and also upgrade to the s2000 oil pump converstion even before that. I just want it to have more power, but hold up too till i can swap out that bottom end.

nah it isnt so much numbers as usability. I just want to add the extra 200 hp without issue if my tuner was not just a lucky case i guess is what i am trying to figure out. He was telling me the k20a2, k20a, k20z's, could all easily handle a turbo regardless the compression ratio. He also went on to add the k20a had oil squirters which in the long haul add durability
No. He's not a lucky case. Plenty are in the 450-500 range on stock internals. Most plug their oil squirters when they go turbo to build slightly more oil pressure to feed the turbo. That's what is being done on my k24 turbo build. It helps with higher boost and journal bearing turbos. What Trans are you going to use?
pm sent to ya
The A2 is of a very similar design as your A, and has its own oil squirters. However, as mentioned your tuner may have plugged his for the increased oil pressure.
Im running the A type r trans. I was going to put a shorter final drive it it when i was having all that done to help with a lil more top speed and less accl. That sounds good tho, so i may just plug the squirters and add the ERL s2k pump, should have plenty of oil. And on turbo i think im gonna do a ball bearing not a steel journal.Originally Posted by AttarixEp
support our sponsors, Witz has the private label sidewinder manifold (and down pipe) for a steal compared to a full race. I've purchased from them, they ship fast. Will be my next manifold too.
I have considered just buying bit by bit of a kit. It is prolly what i will actually end up doing anyways since saving 5k is harder then spending 1k at a time
I fyou really want good stuff, save your money and buy good stuff. Buying cheap you don't save anything, due to the fact that it either:
1. Breaks
2. Causes other problems
3. End up buying the good stuff after being disappointed therefore spending the money twice
I hope you're not talking about getting that much power out of an A3 with stock internals...
This is my friends k20 Typer in Turkey. Of course it doesnt have stock internals but pretty strong car. http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=87349 ( It has all the details that have been done on the car.)
Also check out K20a.org for more info.

I totally agree, the more you spend the less problems down the road all around you will always have. Most products that are cheaper are made in a factory in china n never put through any kinda of product test before it is shipped out to the suppliers. So more likely to get a defect, and in turbo that is not something you want.
The title says K20a my man, not k20a3. N plus look at my signature, has it there too. I blew that turd up years ago lol

Thank you for that it had a lot of my questions answered actually.
Man the Euro crew is so lucky to be blessed with a type R from honda. Maybe one day they will let us Americans have a taste from the dealer...
