Supercharged K20a EP3 @10.1 psi

[cremer42]

It is an ep3 specific fit JRSC.

[dualCranKy]

@cremer42 Are you sure its non Ep2?

It got the Ep2 Revcounter-Tach.

[freeme62410]

can you please tell me exactly which jrsc you put in for the k20a? Did you use the one for the k20a3?

[Samytorres9]

same as mine 

[THE12INCHDAVE]

sounds mint mate, how come only revs to 8000? thought it was 9000?

[mswhong1]

@THE12INCHDAVE he does rev up past the 8000 on the tacho to 9000, but the tacho doesn't go up to 9

[mrkiks]

Awesome! Simply awesome. Im planning on getting an Ep3 too. Do I need to get a whole K20A for the swap or can I mix and match parts? Say a k20a head with the stock A3 block? Any help I would really appreciate!

[dalmahmay]

that first gear was insane

[PIGGKILLA]

nice winding sound, pulls pretty quik to!

[jaybestcole]

10psi come on man my stock pickup puts out more than that

[killjoysxe]

@jaybestcole yes but you have an engine built to withstand boost. 10 pounds alone is kinda risky on a stock engine not built for boost

[Blah12191]

@killjoysxe k20a2 stock internals are capable to 400 daily and up to 600 whp.

[rahu8670]

sounds good and pulls nicely.

[huwbertoo]

sounds like a fat kid playing the trumpet

[BunDownChoons]

10psi on 11.5:1 CR? damn dude your compression is higher than the boost!

[identiticrisis]

@BunDownChoons That makes no sense!

[tutiface007]

I have a civic 1.6 i vtec sport. 04

Is is possible to super charge it with out really doing anything bad to the engine? What litre is the car in this vid? thanks

[mazda6tuner99]

@tutiface007 Go to a forum and ask your questions there.

[doopitfrog]

My goodness how much did this setup cost?

[fat001]

Ok I'm sorry. But anyone saying "your tac is wrong" you dumb mother fuckers the tac is set to k20a3. The a2 head runs up to I believe right around 8400-8600rpm if Im correct so yes, the needle goes higher than the original a3 6800 rev. Cluster fucks...

I have a k20a2 in my ep3 and my recline is when the tac needle hits my speedo markings.

[1qjjogim]

fucking amazin man

[898doffo]

Nice! Sound of the super charger is great.

[WeHaveSteeze]

you better have upgraded cams 2 be redlining that hard on a ep3

[1PARADOXXX]

.1 makes all the difference :)



[Ibanezxpt7]

Don't like the sound of vtec with a supercharger.

I think the turbo has a better sound with the vtec.

But very nice car bro

[Darknights7]

SEXYYYY

[nthornton1990]

there is no way thats supercharged at 10 psi. my 03 ep3 with just a custom exhaust and short ram has those same shift speeds and times.

[prosurfer2222]

@nthornton1990 sri = rice

[jdmfatmatt]

Swap it into an eg and go fast

[womblesmurf]

balance that crank and get some titianum springs or your gunna bend a rod red lining it like that

[cremer42]

@womblesmurf Im confused... What would titanium springs have to do with bending a rod. To clear things up that motor with that tune is made to rev to 8700 rpms... EP3 clusters are about 300 rpm off.. It shows 9k rpm when it was realistically 8700 rpm

[chaosflakes]

i love hondas.. but this car sound like a fuckin supped up vacuum cleaner

[spexxers]

awesome my needle stops at 6900!!!

[mikethebeast1012]

redline??? whats that?

[sean55719]

all that whinin for nothin...

[CrackinVTEC666]

@sean55719 what you mean for nothin he bolted on 100HP your an idiot

[cremer42]

@CrackinVTEC666 I was just happy that when I took the blower off I still rolled on v8's and got 30 mpg lol

[EKoston3]

yyjhf



[akaTheWave]

Your tach is telling fibbz...

[cremer42]

@akaTheWave yes it is.. EP3 tachs are not accurate. It was reving to 8700

[alexzhu1]

wow, does 80-100 like my car does 40-60

[ScorpiosBite1]

LMAO.. that fkrs fast... too bad thats only honda thta was built in england with a penis sticking up from the dash.. aka dildo shifter.

[MarcelE85EG]

11s anyone, nice

[Vrtko456]

sounds like a ariel atom

[impreziv]

@Vrtko456 same engine

[mcrrulez124]

@Vrtko456 it sounds like a ariel atom mate because they have supercharged ep3 type r engines in them aswell lol.

[zuten88]

stock internal???

[cremer42]

@zuten88 this was a stock internal k20a engine with the 11.5:1 compression

[zuten88]

@cremer42 Well, I'm thinking of putting a supercharger on Civic FD2 (Non-typeR).. Would it prevail such abuse??

[theonlyonexxx]

@cremer42 where did u get supercharger? i saw one on eBay for my Jetta how much did it cost u? is it the same as in this add? if u go to ebay type this VW Intake Supercharger Kit Turbo Chip Performance

[chrisjana75]

@cremer42 does running 10 psi on a 11.5:1 compression motor cause excessive stress on the internals or cause problems with pre detonation ?

[Jumseg]

f**k this is better than turbo

[407flawda]

@Jumseg i can just turn up the boost as to being stuck with just 10 lbs.

[hersheynugget121]

Nice car man, I have an 2003 ep3 and thinking about swapping in a k20a, how hard was the swap?

[Hendrixidol]

@hersheynugget121 I wouldn't bother with it bro. The K20a3 is a decent engine, and there are many parts to give it a HELL of a lot of power. Doing that will do nothing but waste some time that ur gonna wish you had spent on something else. Jackson Racing has a blower that fits the EP3's K20a3 perfectly and with the right setups, you can get 300+ hp out that thing.

[cremer42]

@hersheynugget121 not hard at all.. I would not reccomend going to the k20a though. Drop a k24a2 in if anything. Get the added power and torque. I went to a k24 all motor build and made 280 to the wheels on less compression. I miss that motor

[onemillion]

@cremer42 but can you drop a 6peed manual engine into a ep3 due to the different shifting area??

[Allanmembreno]

@hersheynugget121 fuck that get a k24 block go turbo get cams and a nice tune on k-pro and youll be smokeing this car at less psi on lets say a garret t3/t4 ball bearing turbo...

[jowen034]

@hersheynugget121

good news you already have a k20a :P might want to think about swapping a k20a2 for that k20a3 though

[SeeTeaEss]

Nice SI cluster haha. Was it worth it? 

[barryb6869]

@SeeTeaEss was it worth it?!? thats the stock cluster in an ep3

[mattthon]

ep's r sick. too bad they dont come wit k20a or k20a2 stock. siccer than n e other hatch as far as looks go if u ask me.

[Gwizzlez]

@mattthon UK/EU ep's do :D

[Sandeep9201]

Hey bro what is the total purpose of k20a2 head? Higher rpm? full exhaust and intake vtec?

[Gwizzlez]

@Sandeep9201 larger head, so it allows more air into the combustion chamber in turn increases compression, this will increase redline/RPM and possibly low end torque!

[cremer42]

@Sandeep9201 Just the head I had. I put the motor together. The a2 and k20a heads are the same flow.. Just different cams and springs. I was running the k20a2 cams. A bit better for a supercharger

[KamilPs2]

How much horse Power have this honda?

[cremer42]

@KamilPs2 in this video i may have had 260. It was not dyno tuned so i am not sure. A good dyno tune would have netted in the 300 range

[papapetad]

turbos are more effective but damnit I can't get over the whine of a supercharger and the logistics of it having less crap in the engine bay and fabrication work. Go the kompressor!

[Atheismrulez]

@papapetad

Not really. Turbochargers have boost lag and run extremely hot, even at low boost and CFM. This is why you always need to have an intercooler on a turbocharged car. Not only that, but they produce surge, which is bad for the engine.

Superchargers are a little bit less fuel efficient and produce lower CFM at the same boost as a comparable turbocharger, but you can make up for it by increasing boost.

[papapetad]

@Atheismrulez But modern turbo technology makes them very efficient nonetheless? Of course, intercoolers and the piping and fabrication associated with the install is annoying but something like variable vane kkk's work absolute wonders with responsiveness while having minimal lag? Thanks for the info though, I haven't done much research on them and I just go from bits and pieces I've picked up so every bit counts ;)

[Atheismrulez]

@papapetad

Yes, they are efficient. But just like turbochagers have had decreased boost lag within the years while producing the same or more CFM, superchargers have also increased in efficiency thanks mainly to manufacturers like Eaton.

In smaller displacement engines (2.5L and lower), boost lag is still a big problem if you use a medium sized turbo like a GT3076R or bigger.

[Atheismrulez]

@papapetad

There's also the fact that turbochargers are less reliable.  Part of this is because they have more moving parts and they use exhaust gases, which are extremely hot, to spool.

[papapetad]

@Atheismrulez True, and that heat obviously transfers through to the compressor/inlet side of the turbo (hence turbo beenies being common on high HP cars). I'm sold, when I go to forced induction on the V8, I'll go down the charger route for sure, unless I can find a cheap kkk...if that's at all possible lol

[Atheismrulez]

@papapetad

Superchargers are, at their best, suited for V8 engines. The reason is simple: they keep the wide powerband that V8s are known for and are more reliable than using a turbocharger because the engines are hot to begin with. By introducing even hotter exhaust gases, you're pretty much asking for a blown engine.

Also, there's many more supercharger kits for V8s.

[undeadkillers]

@Atheismrulez Well superchargers are also great for short stroke inlines as they naturally can produce more horsepower yet torque lacks.

[cremer42]

@Atheismrulez Actually certain superchargers force more hot air into engines that an intercooled turbo setup. This one for instance was not aftercooled so it was just throwing hot air into the engine.

[Atheismrulez]

@cremer42

A turbocharger producing the same CFM as a supercharger will ALWAYS run hotter. It's not really fair to compare a Whipple W510R to a Garrett GT1544 now, is it?

Most budget and mid-range superchargers do not require an intercooler, while even the most basic turbocharging setup like a GT20 requires one.

[2jzgtejza80]

@Atheismrulez

Supercharged or turbocharged not depends what you have, both needs a intercooler to cool down compressed and heated air. Corvette ZR1 have SC Roots 2.1L at 8psi little more than 0.5 bars and using intercooler. Every boost actually request intercooler, because without intercooler you engine would in dangerous. I saw many Type.R's with SC at 7psi having intcooler. Intercoolers helps to produce more reliable power.

[donaldo1308]

@Atheismrulez must be a fulfilling life to sit and look at honda videos and make comments about V8s

[BigSizey1980]

I do love a Charger!

[MustarDmAn656]

did u have to mod anything to put the a2 head on the a3 block??

[MeAparr1802]

mm whine

[ricvkgmsm486]

it's depend on ecu with chip can over rpm up to 10 or 11k

[renns944]

what transmission?

[xxftwismymottoxx]

not bad at all

[KHirschi]

Nice car man. The thing moves out.

[Jbergner21]

god damn.. thats awesome

[Em12k]

nice..

[mark23q123]

that thing is beast! how long have you had the supercharger on ? and did you have any problems with it ? Im asking because I have a ep3 and im stuck on deciding between going turbo or supercharging it.

[shadyredline]

wow very nice

[IGGYSB]

Lol that engine wont last long! I think by now that is dead!

[fentonjd]

70mp to 90mph....jesus christ

[mynewflatrocks]

that motor is singing! it loves being hammerd!

[Spo0L]

whiney supercharger

[jefferydclark]

i hate the sound of the supercharger but the car itself sounds very nice

[prosurfer2222]

@im2slowforu horrible juss horrible

[pwrbytrd]

Sounds like a beast.Great.

[taylorromeo]

hahahhaha ten point ONE psi.

come on man. just call it 10

[PhatDominican83]

it counts man .1 .2 so on

[7joselito]

It sounds like if i was playing "Gran Turismo".. lol

[RICEFREAK]

turbo sounds better :)

[yb600whp]

how much power

[HE351MUSTANG]

damn where do u live?! i wish in ocala lol this would be a good run between my 4 cyl. mustang (T.) lol Dang but knowing my luck, well no such luck. sweet car man, love it.

[T67GS300]

Badass. Hope u put as higher revving tach on by now.

[FcMURDA]

dang looks like it was nicely tuned

[discostu2]

looks like its an si with a type R engine in it....type R rev limit is 8400 or there abouts which is where that redlines,

[monkeysout]

@discostu2 ep3 can be made to rev higher with ecu mod like kpro.

[TheCoralboy22]

Nice Sound, But ill Stick With The Turbo.

;)

[TheSgood31]

Soo sick. Love the sound. If I end up gettin the 03 Si im hoping to put a k pro chip in it and supercharge it.

[Trollensteinowitz]

wow you're slow as fuck.

[quinnmyster]

Yeah I'd have to agree. That's really slow. haha!

[prosurfer2222]

wow ur a gay faggot that goes to every1s honda video n talk shit bout them juss cuz u own a toyota prius u gay faggot....go crawl bak into ur moms ass

[benjerman112]

nice

[maddmatt02]

@flamebowi, it already hits 0:19 right before he gets to 20, and he hits 60, right around the time it hits 0:235 Id guess. so its more like 4, maybe 4.5 seconds. and thats with wheelspin. go to a track and it will be quicker, mount some slicks and it will be quicker still. my friends got a 455 RWHP svt cobra that will spin at least the first 4 gears on the street if you are careful, and spinning you go nowhere, so you think a 455RWHP cobra is pointless also?

[paolorubiogst]

that guy must have some shit tires on the back of that cobra.

i never spun ALL four gears in my cobra.

get better rubber.

[maddmatt02]

his rear tires are almost 300 bucks a pop, I forget their width, but you cant really expect to put much more rubber in there for street use.

and perhaps I was making it sound easier than it is to spin through 4 gears. if you dont want to spin, then you really can make it stick, just was pointing out that the power was there to do it.

[paolorubiogst]

get drag radials.

i have mickey thompsons DR on the back. 315 35 17.

[maddmatt02]

I wish I could, that would mean I had a nice car, but sadly its just a friends car, and my car sucks...

[jhizzylawnman]

its a civic

[dixiebear113]

ahhhh the real power of dreams

[420witchdoctor]

The low end of the SC, and the high-end from the VTEC? Hell yeah, man!!!

[flamebowi]

so its still over 5 seconds 20mph-60mph? Kinda pointless in my mind

[supras4life]

It was spinnin ?

[DVcustomZ]

agreed I do the same thing at like 4k rpms nowhere near redline

[flamebowi]

Is, "it was spinnin" some kind of an excuse as to why this is a slow car?

still pathetic saying i could have beaten you if my tires werent spinning.

[DVcustomZ]

????????????

[monkeysout]

your rev counter only goes to 8k? howcome?

[residentzombie]

He has a standard RSX, not the Type S

[LordChipmunk]

It's a Civic Si Ep3 hatchback, not an RSX. Look at the gauge cluster. And yeah, it's not the Type-S engine, it's the K20a3, which has a less aggressive head. Still sick if built right and considering the car is pretty light, lighter than the RSX. If only they threw the K20a2 in those hatches...

[datazncarl]

umm if im not mistaking this hatch doesnt have the stock k20a3. says in the beginning its a k20a block with an a2 head so yea.

[suckmygl0ckz]

thats not a rsx its a civic ep3 lol

[cremer42]

the original engine was made to only rev to 6900 rpms.. this one was reving to 8800 rpms

[monkeysout]

i have a civic type r. i dream of supercharging it.

[blacklabelsk8er09]

dont supercharge a civic. turbo all the way. unless your talkin muscle cars then a supercharger would be better.

[hardendafukup]

fark type r engine in a base civic. that would surprise real type r's on a highway rofl... not too sure if it was worth all the money when u could of just got a type r but other than that nice job!

[ryanrumney831]

this shits on a base? rpm's @ 6750

[cremer42]

no.. like it says it is on a k20a (type r block) with k20a2 cams (better for boost)

EP3 tach's are not calibrated perfect.. It looks as if i was revving over 9k rpm's in actuallity i was only revving to 8800 rpm's.

[200horsepower]

i own a civic ep3 base soud a put acura rsx type s head and cams??

[sii2000]

nice one, quick car. I wonder what supercharge his got in it.

[cremer42]

it was a Jackson Racing Blower at the time.

[ScorpiosRevenge1]

over 100..the car seemed slow. Under 100..wooow

[twitchit8]

god damn...that pull from 90mph- to 120 was insane!

[oohootenGSR]

fuck me thats quick, nice job.

[Twilecks]

I'm interested in the full type r swap but I could never figure out about the ecu. So u can just kpro an a3 ecu and you'll be able to pass inspections? ;)

[Twilecks]

what ecu were you running in this vid?

[cremer42]

It was a kpro'd ecu.. Modified stock ecu

[cremer42]

It was a k20a itr block. 11.5:1compression

[barthoedemaker]

Nice build!

[xXxplanbskaterxXx]

rsx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyJDMIntegra4]

Nice bro..work in progress I am going to assume?!?

People don't know when theres a car in prog. or there working on a project car...they judge, and thoughs are the wanna BES...Thoughs are the people that don't understand, that...

EVERYONE doesn't have money in there back pocket HA...life sucks

Great Video bra

[cremer42]

thanks.. Yeah as for now my new setup is done. Its a cammed N/A k24/K20. Runs strong. Just as quick as this supercharged setup was.

[Alex98098098]

umm its not all motor.

[skullteen27]

not this build in the video. his new motor is a built n/a k24/k20

[Alex98098098]

ohh, nice

[prosurfer2222]

DUMBFUCK IT SAYS SUPERCHARGED

[PANT3N3]

It can be said that VTEC, the original Honda variable valve control system, originated from REV (Revolution-modulated valve control) introduced on the CBR400 in 1983 known as HYPER VT EC.[2] VTEC was the first system of its kind, though other variable valve timing and lift control systems have been produced by other manufacturers (MIVEC from Mitsubishi, VVTL-i from Toyota, VarioCam Plus from Porsche, VVL from Nissan, etc).

[PANT3N3]

VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is a valvetrain system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine. This system uses two camshaft profiles and electronically selects between the profiles. It was invented by Honda R&D engineer Ikuo Kajitani.[1]

[prosurfer2222]

wow yeah he put da car on jackstands n lost traction into 2nd lmfao ur a smart 1

[phatdrifter]

type r ecu?

[cremer42]

Besides just being street tuned. I did that setup just for fun. I have a n/a k24 setup with more power now.

[viper2788]

you obviously dont know jack shit about traction.

[masterofthekeyblade]

what does k20 mean?

[AcuraLsSE]

K20 is the name of the engine. Its a K series Honda and the 20 is the displacement 2.0

[cremer42]

Except for the wheel spin and wind. Plus the blower will not build boost that much without a load.

[DestroyerOnHalo]

that seems kinda slow? somthin wrong?

[kdinesy]

kinda slow? bear in mind its MPH not KPH!

[Massiv3Er3ction]

It always amazes me how high the K20 can rev when properly setup. How high can you rev this thing when tuned? Very very sexy ride! sounds sick

[cremer42]

i was revving to 9100 for a bit..

[TEGGY56]

hey in the begging it says k20a block k20a2 head does that mean he kept the origional block and internals and just put the rsx type s head on it?

[cremer42]

not an original block.. Original is a k20a3

K20a is from the JDM integra type r. It is just running type s cams becuase i feel they run better under boosted applications.

[scbca]

pretty sick man

[KamilPs2]

Hmm its good, but i need Honda Civic VII Type-R

[RevHardEp3]

Ok still it has K20a Block and K20a2 head... so its not the a3 anymore lol.... But my ep3 also has 57trim Turbonetics turbo.that came wit the rev hard kit.. On high boost its 14psi at 300WHP 260WTQ... i think it was 350 FlywheelHP or somethin... But this car is nice i would like to do same thing with my a3 with the stuff i already have.... Prob would make 400whp still on stock internals... NICE CAR though EP3's RULE!!1

[RevHardEp3]

This is bout as fast as my ep3/k20a3 on 9psi... Still hasStock intenals.. Just Revhard turbo kit.. RC750 Injectors.. 450FP.. ST.2ACT Clutch pack.. GreddyS BC.. TBE... k-pro... But on High boost ;);) Its ALOT FASTER...

[cremer42]

maybe i should have mentioned it was not tuned.. only thing tuned was the A/F no cam tuning no ignition tuning.. it was pretty conservative. So a tuned 9 psi a3 may have been just as quick. I have not once tried to say it was fast. Just posted a video of what it looked like. lol

[klownh8er]

Good, clean pull.

[klutch323]

How expensive is it to convert a k20a3 to an a2?
