Pick up a set of IPS cams, the KPro, have yourself one of those high end headers (Lovefab, Hytech, whatever), ITBs, tune the mofo and go have a field day. Spend the rest of it on NOT the car. Should you decide to go a little faster... the JDM CR-V 5.03 final drive gear

Oooh, 5.03 final drive gear and JDM :) Its like the new pinnacle of JDM 31337-ness, its only a matter of time before there will be "5.03" decals right next to the "TypeR" and "VTEC" decals now, j/k

turb0!@!@!#

TransformedBG 12-08-2005 12:08 AM

anyone who says sell or save again is getting bad rep. I just ask an opinion on what to do with the car. Not my life. Money is going in to it that is my FINAL ANSWER!

Alright then...
high compression & boost you know is a bad combination. Just ask joedc5, that's how the poor guy blew his itr.

Then again, alot of k20a2 owners are making up to 450hp on their stock block, what's that extra .5 difference.

Honestly, since you got an itr, I'd probably go all motor, and since you're already looking into TODA, get their head package and their itb's.

There you have it buddy.

mrchowmein 12-08-2005 02:25 AM

save and invest that moolah and buy your self a m5 or something hehe.

FingerJ 12-08-2005 02:36 AM

SAVE! yo cash!!

ZapThyCat 12-08-2005 02:42 AM

Why not save $18g instead of just 10? That money could come in handy later. I mean, if you invested that money wisely, you could make it into major cash. Rather than just sinking it into a car...

If you do anything, do something cheaper along the lines of what you want with the car... turbo for speed, or whatever for looks. I wouldn't pump more than like 3k into a car though, ever. :shrug:

unluckyninja619 12-08-2005 03:03 AM

go buy a bike, r6. hehe:)

I hope that answers your question. I know thats a k20a3 but your k20a should have a similar fit i think :shrug: .

SLO REX 12-08-2005 06:13 AM

Glen do what you want...*hint* boost it *hint* (By the way the meet is Dec 11, this weekend.)

Jrfish007 12-08-2005 06:41 AM

I think you will have traction problems now... :lol:

I would honestly go a differrent car or even a bike, but if u really want to stick it to the vic, go N/A. reason is that a turbo will make gobs of torque, and while we all like torque, a FWD car is going to have problem with that. N/A will give you lots of topend, you probably will not have the tractions problems you will have with turbo. But you could get a progressive boost control and ignition control system to tone odwn the power in the beggining.

h0nd4_r1c3r_X 12-08-2005 07:12 AM

supercharge!!!!

exturbo6 12-08-2005 08:12 AM

both of your options are awsome...

but...

i think you should do N/A..alot more reliable i think.

MYK1013 12-08-2005 08:21 AM

i say save it, ur ride has a kickass mod list already.
how about a down payment for another car?

fraga 12-08-2005 08:34 AM

Im with him, head out to the bunny ranch for a long weekend. all your troubles will fade away lol.

dirtySAMURAI 12-08-2005 10:46 AM

if you're going to set it up for scca, think about the problems you'll have during a turn if boost kicks in. understeer. i say go n/a if you plan on setting the car up for turning.

That's an ep3 jrsc. If you decide to go supercharger, which would be sick by the way, go with the ep3 jrsc and k-pro. Oh and 11psi pulley

HondaGuy12 12-08-2005 10:51 AM

save it and invest..

TransformedBG 12-08-2005 10:58 AM

I AM NOT SAVING 8000 DOLLARS, NOR INVESTING IT. IT IS FUN MONEY. QUIT SAYING TO INVEST IT. I WANT INTELLAGENT ANSWERS ON WHY I SHOULD GO NA OVER BOOST OR VISEA VERSA. :hithead::hithead::hithead::hithead::hithead::hith ead::hithead::hithead::hithead::hithead::hithead:: hithead::hithead::hithead::hithead::hithead::hithe ad::hithead::hithead::hithead::hithead::hithead::h ithead::hithead::hithead:

eye_see_you 12-08-2005 11:02 AM

I say boost it once and I say boost it again..

YUL 12-08-2005 11:08 AM

Yea..the intelligent answer would be not to dump 8K into a depreciating asset. Especially a civic.

Man..buy a bike or a boat or something. Take a trip to the caribbean or Fiji or something.

It makes no sense to have 8K fun $$ when you're 23.

TransformedBG 12-08-2005 11:13 AM

Someone close this befor i get pissed off.
