turbo or k20a
 

i'm trying to decide if i should get an SF Turbo Kit or a k20a....what do u all think???

get a new car.
20k rsx type-S 210hp
20k fully loaded srt-4 230hp
cheaper than a swap...there done

First question: Do you have this kind of money to spend on your civic?

lol annnnyyywaaaayssssss. I would say go with swap. K20A + internals + 30psi boost = ~500whp.

well i have a little over $3000 now..i can't decide if i should get the turbo or save more for the k20a.

save more! you will have a higher baseline whp (~170whp with the k20a, ~160whp with k20a2), and with smaller mods like I/H/E you will notice gains unlike with our d17s.

^^^^ what he said ^^^^^

are you taking this to the track or do you just want some more power to your vic? auto or standard? if you want to push the vic to its fullest potential, the k20 swap is going to give you more base power, and then from there you can obviously build up the k20 and have a very fast car. the turbo is going to give you moderate gains depending on your tranny situation, but your not going to put away srt's and type-s's either. once again, if you are one of those folks where 'money isn't a issue', then k20 is nice.

oh money is definetely an issue i've just been saving for some time....and i have a 2003 4-door manual. and i just want power...i don't really plan on going to the track.....but if a car pulls up beside me at a red light and wants to test me i want to blow him out the water........well i may race a couple of times but i'm not that serious with it.

u want power?

buy my kit thats forsale. its by far the best kit and all top quality.

btw i answered ur ques..

aim: turbo2002civic for n e ques.

how much?

well in my dreams, i'd have a boosted k20a2 with SI axles to keep the 4 lug ;)

With $3000 you can't get k20a.

i said should i get a turbo with it or save MORE to get the k20a

get the k20a, build up the internals. if u turbo the stock engine, ull get the same or less HP has the k20a. if you dont want to spend 3 grand, buy a stolen k20(sorry, but it is the cheapest way)

Save up and get k20a.

Don't expect too much out of it.
14 secound car.

SF Turbo Kit

for the money...I would say get the SF kit. Next november (yes i know a LONG time) I'll all the money I need to build a turbo car. Sides...I always wanted turbo.

k20a type-r is not that friendly w/ F/I

who has a k20 swap
 

WHo in here has had a k20 swap. i heard you can get up to 30psi turbo into it. THat's way more than a civic. I rather go with the k20. that's what i'm planning on doing after i get my money saved up. If anyone has had a k20 swap talk to me and let me get your specs on it. (even if you don't have the turbo to go with it) thxs.

that's exactly what I want.. :tup:

Well...My dream is about my boosted D17 wit 12psi whompin on all who stand in my way :evil:


::sleeps::

::dreams about owning dsms::
::dreams of fame and fortune::
::(quick wet dream)::

WOO!

get both.....K20 and a HKS turbo w/ intercoooler and a blow off valve

then ill be sayin :damn:

buy a k20....

k20 and NA.

well, atleast thats what i want.

Either buy the whole freaking RSX-S or put the money in a mutual fund/IRA.

ya buy a k20, then buy just a turbo, intercooler, and blowoff valve, youll be set :screwy:
that should be all you need for a fully functional, turbocharged k20!

yeah...cause recieving stolen property isnt a crime or anything... :shake:

i would do a swap. once you turbo our car thats pretty much it, and i think a type-s motor will still be faster. if you swap you still have the option of turboing it...

K20 for sure

there is a member selling a k20a3 for 700

here is another deal for a k20a2 with mounts, axles and intake

I would say k20 if you want more later, I/H/E and the Toda racing engine kit claim around 229 whp and 158 lb feet not too bad for an n/a ride :sweet:
