Mods question [solved]
Hi, good afternoon I was wondering what is better? A 8th Gen Frankenstein K20 head swap on a R18 9th Gen Engine with bolt on mods (N/A)? Or forced induction? Maybe even being added to the K20 head swap? Or...What is the best alternative for hp to wheel ratio modifications on a R18?

You can’t put a K-series head on an R-series. They’re completely different engines.

With all due respect, you’ve bought the wrong car to do performance modifications. You really need an Si.

For reference, a frank engine is a K20 head on a K24 block.
