Whitegv Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 thought id put this in this area as its not to do with starbos can be moved if the mods wish. ive been looking at civics and tegs this week, came across a civic ep3 today thats had a bit of an engine re build. it has a k20 head (stock from a ep3 yes?) and a k24 block from an accord type r. the bloke selling it says with a map it should push 250 brake. does this sound realistic? and yeah i have posted on civic life to ask there lol any help much appreciated Quote
Idrees Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Yeah it's realistic but why K24? The K20 is ace when tuned, stick with that imo. I bet it revs better too. Quote
Driver Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 K24 is better for torque but not as revy, figures sound very realistic and be about 180-200ftlb or similar ide guessBut it doesnt have a turbo so therfor its really Gay Quote
Whitegv Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 according to civic life its an awesome setup. lots of torque when standard, and when mapped produces a lot more power and torque Quote
Idrees Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Get on the Type R forum, they have a better knowledge on the EP3. CivicLife is mainly full of the older Civics, but still a great forum.http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/ Quote

Bean Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 im sure you can get plenty more than 250bhp out of a k24 if needed. Quote
Sparky Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Most K20's go to 250hp with bolt ons and remap Quote
Whitegv Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 the bloke whos selling it swapped his starbo for it, but doesnt like the vtec and wants a turbo again. im pretty sure you could pull more out of it than 250 as well tbh. looked on some peoples specs on civic life and there not shy at all Quote

starlet1.3si Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 think sparky is trying to tell you that vtec is shit, and turbo is WIN Quote
Whitegv Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 but if i were to go on the honda forum and say the same thing i would get turbos shit and vtecs win lol Quote
starlet1.3si Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 everyone comes back at some point, you just cant compare a turbo to n/a, imagine all the money spent on the k24 head etc, bigger cams, intake etc and then translate that into a turbo kit, far more than 250bhpjust my opinion though Quote
Driver Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 but if i were to go on the honda forum and say the same thing i would get turbos shit and vtecs win lolThats why they all want to turbo there hondas hahaTo be fair id have a Honda turbo over a starlet any day, Vtec turbo is awsome !Only insurance stopping me to be honest.And remember kids, you can turbo a Vtec, but you cant Vtec a turbo !
