Eh, all motor? Is that why after the swap was mentioned, the turbo charging was mentioned? I think FI is also in the game plan.

never mind the a2. i was gonna take a k20a3 with the a2 6 speed tranny over the a2 since it has a lower comp ratio... better for turboing

I know you guys arent gonna believe me, but SFpower is out of town right now, and i prototyped my own water/alcohol injection, and i am running 11 psi without any signs of detonation. I did it earlier today, and it feels awesome.

SFpower says that he is going to offer the new water/alcohol injection setup as an upgrade.

oh yea there is another upgrade for the turbo kits. It is a cold air intake for the turbo. It is $75, and you can upgrade to it any time.

I have all stock stuff until my engine goes in. SFpower is going to make me some mounts so i wont break them (arent ya mike!).

But, yea. On my CRX i broke all 4 of them when i launched at the track with 15 psi. Put my turbo through my radiator. I drove it home without any coolant because i didnt want to swallow my pride and get towed home from the track. That cost me 4 pistons.

The cool air intake is a little different for the non-air-water kits.
