Hytech is getting around 300whp, and they are still adding more. There is huge numbers with the K20 with either NA or FI.
Props on the turbo, I know it will be fun. The K20A2 alone is fun. Its good to see someone doing it right this time too. Getting the Quaife LSD and all. I see too many people on clubrsx.com getting the turbo kit and they are like "I have big HP, but Im still not going fast, whats the deal?" TRACTION!! So
to you. Cant wait to hear how she runs.
Im gonna do another K20 swap soon. Im thinking about doing the K24/K20 hybrid. Building the K24 to withstand the 8000rpms that the K20 head likes, and get some boost on it with either a supercharger, or a turbo. Torque much? I'll keep everyone posted.

I have also been thinking of making my all wheel drive Honda Element a Sleeper with the RSX Type-S head and supercharging it.

Rep Power: 0 Can you talk a little about the modifications you've had to do to the Cybernation kit to get it to fit? Searched, and didn't find anything other than mention of piping.

Jay, glad to see the progress. I liked the pics you sent. Glad to see the parts coming together for one fine piece of automotive work. Please keep me posted and let me know if there is anything else you need as far as parts. You were a pleasure to do business with.

2. The cobra fitting (see pic) is a hard fit and the engine support must be narrowed
3. Waste gate dump pipe must be lengthened or routed into the downpipe. It dumps right by the oil filter
4. All intercooler piping must be altered. You have to run it over top of the intercooler behind the bumper not in front of the engine. If you run it in front of the engine you have to loss your A/C compressor and find a new belt.
5. Kit doesn't include many adapters (e.g. fuel tank)
6. Oil feed adapter to engine block will not thread, must modify.
7. Wiring straight forward BUT HASport has seen alot of problems with this set up and the wiring harness they have made. Contact HASport to correct problems.
8. The instructions are vague and necessary pictures are not included.
These are some but everyones will be different
not good news at all

Rep Power: 388 Yeah is there an update?
Jayson, have you thought about a custom traction bar? You are gonna be pushing 300+ after tuning and there is little chance that car is gonna get the power to the ground. Did you get an LSD?

Rep Power: 0 Even with an lsd, its still tough to get the power to the ground. I've got a quiafe lsd it helps, but I still get wheel hop. I just bought stiffer urethane mounts from hasport for my esk1 kit(77's). It'll have some car vibration but wont be that bad. I bought a j's racing engine dampner, but the fuse box was blocking the path. Which is why I went with stiffer engine mounts.

The ones I got with the esk1 kit arent stiff enough. Anyhelp would be appreciated thanks.
BTW:My car is up in ny waiting to go in the shop. I'm stationed in nc. Which is why I can't take a pic myself.
