Help to reach 200whp on base auto

[deathvalley]

haha good suggestion mate need to think about your question.

[deathvalley]

yup sleeping performance was spot on.i was about to buy the greddy kit so decided to email the guys about compatibility.this is what i god. SIGH


Hello Jeff,

I received the following information from GReddy USA.

Kind Regards,

Hi Alain,



Unfortunately, we have not tested our Turbo Kit onto the automatic RSX models. We do not have the data to confirm compatibility. With that being said, in the past we have tested turbo kits on older automatic vehicles. The outcomes were not favorable, one vehicle had shifting issues from the addition al torque. Another automatic vehicle had premature transmission failure from the added power and torque.

[tinkerbell]

at least they are 100% honest!!!

[sleepingperformance]

Thinking about this last night, I kept asking myself if the turbo is really what was needed.

Have you thought about simple n/a mods that focus on torque rather than peak power?

Some nice 4-2-1 headers, 2.5in exhaust and rbb intake manifold would work really well to give it midrange torque

[deathvalley]

ya man.they even emailed the people in japan to get me the precise answer.

would you be able to show me any dyno numbers that you got out of a k20a3?using a ktuner?

i already have 2.5in exhaust piping+tanabe exhaust+injen cai.

i got 120kw in a DYNAPACK dyno.i dont remeber the torque. i think it was around 150 lb·ft.

how much do think i can make if i put on a header+hondata img+manifold.......and u give an agressive tune on 90ron {the fuel might be shitier than that}.

im sitting on 105kw atw after taking the k20a2 cam and rockers out..
tued at BYP using Dyno Dynamics?

[deathvalley]

may b dyno dynamics gives lower powers man. with your mods it should be minimum 180 bhp shouldnt it? 105kw means its under performing.base is 120 kW.

i scored that on dynapack.so basicaly my mods didnt do shit.

man, you have a lot to learn!

K20A3 = 120kW AT THE FLYWHEEL

this = 120kW * 0.2 for drive train loss = 96kW at the tyres

(no idea what dynapack reading would convert as, but dyno dynamics is real "at the tyres" reading)

we don't have 90 RON in AU

[deathvalley]

we don't have 90 RON in AU

shit my bad i forgot other than dynapack the other ones are roller dyno. didnt see the atw hehehe.

my rsx isnt in here man.

[tinkerbell]

my rsx isnt in here man.

ahhh, ICIC!!!

[deathvalley]

ahhh, ICIC!!!

one of the three there man and i am a base,amidst all evo's.hahah

We have not tuned any A3's just yet with KTuner so we are unable to provide any dyno plots.

With the combination we recommended, peak power is irrelevant. We are chasing highest average torque figures.

For stop start traffic style driving, having more useable torque on tap will make the car alot more fun to drive & the engine will respond instantly (vs waiting for a turbo to spool).

Also, Dynapaks will read on average 10-15% higher than roller dyno's

hmm.just a quick question.

if i do go for a type r swap in the far future will the ktuner for my base auto still b useable?provided that i get it back to you and pay for for a type r ecu and you just swap the chip in?

also will the after market base header with catback fit the type r engine?

just checking if my options are still open if i go ahead with this. sorry for all these questions.
