nice..
Well, no more skunk2 cams. I'm sad to see them go but the K2's should do the job
nice..
kon: what head are you using?
does IPS or BP have cams for the a1 or a3 head?
bump for KON....pm chunky about his tensioner....he has a custom one he has designed and has been selling and using on his built beast. he has skunk2 stage II cams and NO issues what-so-ever. he is makin around 240whp n/a on a 2.0L
I was using his tensioner for about 3K miles before I realized the failure...lol. Its a good design and I actually spoke to him on Tuesday about it. There is no guarantee that it will work 100%, however, and I'm done playing the fix it games...you know. Honestly, I love skunk2, they make great power and unbeatable customer service, but I can't afford anymore down time or repair costs. I had an oppertunity to get K2's for a good price and I jumped on it. At least now, my worries are minimal.
Plus, when using skunk2 cams, chunky recomended to retard the part throttle map to 0 advance. This almost defeats the purpose of having cams.

quick update: its done!!! We got the block together and swapped it back into the ep3. She turned over and from what I understand, she sounds good. Time to go break in the motor and do a little street tuning Assuming all goes well, we'll have some dyno numbers tomorrow. Stay tuned.
On a side note, I bought a replacement clutch disk (exedy stage 2 disc) but the old one was barely used. I drove the car for a whole year, and I was not easy on her, and there's still another 2 years left from my calculations. Looks like I got a spare disk.
this is the EXACT build im planning on doing. im looking for a k24a1 shortblock right now. Hopefully start the build in the summer.
Get some vids up of interior and outside. I wanna see this thing perform
I Cant Wait to See Those Numbers Kon..............
Its finally tuned. I'll have the dyno graph posted as soon as I install stupid scan tools on my PC. The peak numbers are 250whp and 195wtq, we had to retard timing for safety so the last run is a little short. I'm very happy with the results though...much better powerband then before. Now to fix the FUCKIN OIL LEAK!!!!!
