Help to reach 200whp on base auto

[deathvalley]

hi guys,
so i have been planning to mod my base auto rsx for a long time but didn't spend some serious money on it because i am still in a dilemma wether to go turbo or not.

but if its possible to reach 200whp on all motor then i don't mind keeping it na.

i have INJEN CAI+2.5 INCH CATBACK EXHAUST[TANABE] on it currently.
my last dyno which was before getting the custom piping for the exhaust was 120whp on DYNO JET.

just as a comparison my friends JDM TYPE R with MUGEN EXHAUST+MUGEN ECU+TEGUIYA INTAKE is pushing 170whp.

The mods i am planing to get is-
DC sports racing header-400.40
K tuner ecu[end user]----------750
skunk intake manifold----------565
BrianCrower CamStage 3------630
BC Single Springs and Titanium Retainers----320
HONDATA intake manifold gasket------------50.00

THROTTLE?? COULDNT FIND ANYTHING ONLINE THAT IS A DIRECT FIT.SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.

AFTER ALL OF THESE WOULD UPGRADING THE INJECTORS BE A GOOD CHOICE TO REACH MY GOAL?

ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT GIVE MORE GAINS??

A GRAND TOTAL OF 2750AUD.

WILL IT REACH ANYWHERE NEAR MY GOAL?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other hand turbo built--
K tuner ecu[end user]----------750
Godspeed turbonetics turbo kit---2,033
injector--------------------------250
walbo fuel pump---------------100

TOTAL OF 3000AUD.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS IT HAS TO BE SPENT ALL ON ONE GO AND THE TURBO IS NOT RECOMENDED BY MOST OF YOU OUT THERE.

OPINIONS PLEASE. I PLAN TO COMPLETE MY BUILT BY JANUARY.

k20a2 throttle body?
i got 115atw with I/H/E, ktuner + k20a2 cam and rockers...
dont know how much whp that is...

not sure if you should go too hard on the a3, timmyB had a k20a3 and he blew the engine...

[tinkerbell]

200whp on A3 = turbo is only option...

[deathvalley]

jupiter which dyno did u use if its 115atw that means its about 155 bhp.may be its becasue of the different dyno otherwise with your mods it should have made more.
i was 120atw on DYNAPACK last time i dynoed with only cai and exhaust.

[tinkerbell]

you cant gain 80whp with bolt-ons mate...

[deathvalley]

thats what i am begining to think as well maximum with all the things i mentioned would be 40 thats if i am lucky.
the greddy kit will give 50 though with a modest tune.

[tinkerbell]

have you considered a K24 swap?

[deathvalley]

i am not interested in a swap mate. i just want to get the most out of the base engine with as little money as possible.

Do you have a budget?

[deathvalley]

of course 3000AUD max.with ecu.

[tinkerbell]

have you checked out K20A.org?

Yeah that was more driver error then engine failure.

200WHP is bout 150kw atw.
is it worth it?

The automatic transmission will not withstand the extra torque put thru it generated by the modifications.

They are fragile to begin with and the V6 Accords are testimate to this. They break just by looking at them.

You would be better off spending money on a manual model then chasing extra power

[deathvalley]

sleeping performance-- i was going to contact you guys to talk about the ktuner btw,but i wanted to make up my mind first.unfortunately due to the road condition and daily driveability of where my car is located i am not going to put in a manual gearbox.when i am back home i use it to drive 30kilos which takes me about two hours haha guess how much traffic there is.

would you suggest geting the turbonectics kit?ITS EBAY HAHAH. or all the bolt on's and hope for the max power? I NEED YOUR INSIGHT.

Chasing those numbers - lose the auto
Harsh but true comment.
With a budget of $3000AUD, you want big quick cheap figures turbo is the way to go but then again if your going by what you've read in Fast4's... You'll be looking at more expensive problems in the short run.

I Suggest you really read into your ideas and possibly maybe pause for a moment and ask yourself this question
'what do i want to gain out of my car and what do i want to gain by modifying it?'
