I seen k20a3's make 400whp for multiple seasons.. all in the tune.. and good fueling... and this car made 20+ runs at the strip and alot of roll racing. Turbo'd it..with car completely stock at 136k miles.. has over 150k 2 years later.. still has good compression
Definitely impressed by the torque numbers for sure! Can't wait to see some pulls!!
Thanks for doing this build and Let me list the questions most people want to know for the next video:
What parts did you change ( because the kit one wasn't deemed good) and what parts did you have to get separately and also links to purchase and full name of part if possible.
were all the parts on the kit straight fit ? any mods if so what was modified
How is the wheel spin if any with 254 to the front wheels.
Stock spark plugs or you running colder what brand ?
On tuning. Did you raise the rpm redline and if so to what are you revving now ?
what oil are you using 10-30 ?
General Fitment issues, mounting intercooler and lines AC etc relocations - can i do this and keep my AC lines intact--- pictures
How is the fuel consumption now with it being turbo way more or its tolerable.
lets see that custom exhaust and whats the name of the high flowing cat.
and of course... videos of hard pulls inside and outside the car :-) hehehe .. a 1/4 mile drag run and time if possible too
My boii wtf
These are your questions lmao
Nice. I have a turbo RSX-S here in Canada with the stock K20A3 and a Greddy kit with 440cc injectors and was on the stock fuel pump o about 6.5psi. It got about 254 with the stock clutch and flywheel.
Here in Canada I have a Greddy turbo RSX-S on about 6.5psi getting about 260whp and 200wtq. Stock engine and fuel system/pump. 440cc injectors.
Seen daily driven k20a3's at 350-400whp with stock motors.. It's all in the tune and supporting mods
b00stedrust impossible lol the k20a3 is a motor you throw away
@@jonywopo yep and you're absolutely wrong. shrug. lol
@@b00stedrust but those rods are really freaking skinny
@@alitoroganan2442 yep... and they make 500whp.. and dont break lol
@@b00stedrust what are they're fatest times
Thanks for the update! Cars looking great!
You should talk the k20 crank case pressure in relation to turbocharging...a lot of people blow oil because of that and think it's the drain, feed, or an oil restriction problem when in reality it could cause ring land failure. Keep up the vids tho, good stuff.
How did the transmission and clutch hold up to the increase in power? Thinking about doing a turbo build on my rsx!
Mattchu Park k20a2/z1 or k20a3?
k20a3
Should get a clutch. The trans is all good. Stick internals are good for 300 but people have run more
How long did that motor last on that turbo? I watched this new 5 yrs ago!
Whats exhaust system your taking downpipe/how many inch?
Good vid. U guys should just buy a cheap 3 bar map sensor and cheap Walbro 255 fuel pump for a lil more power and sense it's the 2 weak links.
What year is your RSX? Mine in the picture is a 2005 and makes 184 crank with just CAI and HKS high power exhaust....I have another k20a3 engine that I'm currently building from the inside out for a turbo setup...
Solid car at that power level. Certainly enough power to scoot around in. I wouldn't push the car anymore than that, so smart call on your part. Should live nice and long. Any update?
are u dumb my bolt on only k20 makes 230 wheel. this is pathetic power for a turbo k. should be at least 350-400whp
If you blew it up, wood you swap a K20z3, a2, or even K24?
About how much was it to go turbo including any labor. Also is there any thing you really need to do to the motor or tranny in order for it to be safe?
Stock clutch?
What happened to the install video
Hello was it hard to mount the intercooler? Do you have any picture on how you guys install the pipings?
No it wasn't too hard. And I believe we mentioned it in one of our old UA-cam videos in good detail!
Can you run more power with forged pistons and a intake manifold? I want to do the exact same project on my base model
Thinking about boosting my EP3 I'm not looking to a lot of boost since it's my daily . How much psi would you recommend
+steven balcasarez max 10psi on a good tune which is what we did. Probably just ask your tuner his or her opinion
How hard was installing the eBay turbo kit planning on getting one soon but some people say they had to do a lot of different modifications to actually get the kit installed like the intercooler
Alexander Aldana it's minor stuff, you have to make a few notches on the support frame by the window washer reservoir to fit in the intercooler piping, the front bumper crash bar has to be cut a little by maybe like half an inch to fit the piping, a bracket has to be made to support the intercooler, you'll wanna screw that into the bottom of the front frame so it can line up with the intercooler. You may or may not have to move your battery idk that depends, you'll have to zip tie down a few lines to the strut tower bar and heat wrap a lot of lines and stuff and move stuff around but nothing to dramatic
what sensors were bought , pulls after this video please
Still rollin like that or did it blow up?
now it just needs to be wrapped lol .... we need to see the pulls asap ha
Thanks for the update I was wondering where you guys went.
Been thinking about full Bolton’s and a K20a2 head/cam swap or a turbo kit. How much was the turbo and all supporting mods?
It came to around $3k Canadian! We made a full video about it if you go check that out
How much did it cost for the kit and the tune ?
Do you have to upgrade fuel pump, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and throttle body???
Pheng Bun we only upgraded the injectors to 410cc. If we upgraded the fuel pump and the MAP sensor we could get closer to 300whp out of it - might do that next season!
JDMods thank you so much. But I'm planning on running K-pro ecu. Would that be a better choice?
We ended up going with a kpro and it is an awesome ecu! Definitely worth the money. Plus, you can do launch control 😎
What ECU did you use? Did you use the stock ecu? Did you get it flashed? If so where?
Kpro
Kpro
Hello i bought emusa turbo kit . Just wanna ask if how much psi could handle a stock k20a3?
Jan Gay I'm running 10 psi but it depends on what your tuner says - a good tune makes all the difference. And I don't want to be held accountable if someone blows up their motor running 10 psi :P
What did you upgrade on your stock k20a3 to turbo and get that result?
Jan Gay just the injectors, upgraded to 410cc. The tuner I used said if the fuel pump and MAP sensor were upgraded we could have gotten closer to 300whp.
How much does it weigh?
have yall did a all motor a3 build?
Is there any way I could get an email of what the whole set up on the motor is? I would like to no how much boost you ran. Fuel system setup. If the Ecu was upgraded. Pretty much everything
Our videos cover most of this information (this video actually tells you exactly what the final power was and at how many psi...). We will be making a video soon to cover it all though! :)
That's solid gains for the money you guys spent. Can't wait to boost my new Rsx type s. also in for a link on where you bought the turbo kit. Thanks following your build.
Also curious on the injectors you used?
Christian Turner incase you want advice, I'm boosting my type s. 650cc is good for about 500hp however if you want more power with more room so you don't push your injectors you could get 1000cc. Personally I bought 850cc because I got them for a good deal
Christian Turner btw kseriesparts has a turbo kit similar to this for about 1200$ if you want it from a legit seller
Lemme know if you got questions I got you
Thanks!
Do you daily this?
Yep!
U can make way more power at 15 psi
my kit just went on.... my type-s has over 215,000 miles...
b_ron007 how's it holding up, thinking about doing a turbo on a base with 180k 😂
Send it, Motors are dirt cheap anyways.
How many miles did it have before you put the turbo ?
The new motor had 127,000km (around 80,000 miles) on it.
I Wanted do do 9lbs as well do you have any recommendations for a Kit I would be happy with 250hp
The Roof Man L she literally tells you what kit she bought... and if you need to ask, you really should do more homework. Google...
did you have any ecu adjustments?
Double Clutch it was professionally tuned for my setup - completely custom map.
can you send me the link to the turbo kit you used
the trq is a nice number i cant wait to see wat i hit with 10 psi. 😀
im a newbie aswell but how much hp can can i push my stock motor with a turbo?
Double Clutch if I had an upgraded fuel pump and map sensor I could've made just under 300whp
JDMods with stock internals?
Double Clutch yep, stock internals. I stayed on the safe side at 255whp because I need it to be reliable but you could probably get 290whp or so out of it.
JDMods is your engine a k20a2 or a k20a3? cause ive been researching and found out that k20a3 doesnt have an oil squirters on the oil pump
Double Clutch it's a k20a3 and yes that's correct. Our tuner said that they can hold up to 300whp if properly tuned.
How much did you spend including the kit? Also what did you change or replace that came with the kit? Would love to do this for fun!
Brendan Locke ebay kit go for 500 to 1200 people buy them for 500 and sell them for higher.
Were you able to retain ac and ps with your setup?
We got rid of the A/C because it was already broken, but you could keep it. And yes it still has power steering.
@@jdmodsgarage can share the link of the turbo setup? I know it's just ebay, but which one did you go with? I'm interested because I wanted to keep AC/PS and didn't want to buy the wrong one. Also, did you have to use a Kpro ECU? or were you able to reflash/modify the original ECU? Also, How is it in terms of reliability and fuel economy?
@@SC2gamertroll if you go to our "$3000 Ebay turbo rsx shopping list" video, everything I purchased is in the description with links. 100% get kpro - you wont regret it. I bought the greddy emanage blue but never got it working and wish I had just gotten kpro right away to save myself the headache.
what fixed the boost leak
Terrence Bastien a better fitting coupler
Link to turbo kit?
Can the k20a3 with an AT do the same?
edD Ali you'd ask your tuner
Ali S. thanks
Please tell me the Kit you bought I have a 05 RSX base and I want to order a Kit
It's the EMUSA kit
@@jdmodsgarage Thanks so a year later any Issues
How many miles now with the setup?
bhadz100 over 5000km (3100 miles)
Do you have stock internals?
Ultimate_Gaming yep, stock internals!
is the turbo reliable till now?
Yup doesn't even leak a drip of oil!
So you have a eBay turbo is it good Turbo
Jesus Alberto I have the EMUSA kit from eBay. I have over 5,000km on it now and it's running great. Actually doing a pulls video of it tonight!
JDMods well I guess I'm going to try it and really well good luck on it
Nice numbers. And damn!! Your beautiful!! It's nice to see a women in the performance world. Keep up the progress and good luck with the rsx build
What Injectors did u use?
Ripper Squad denso 410cc injectors
JDMods i want a opinion I Have a ep3 And I seen a ebay turbo kit what kind of i injectors you Think I Should put has adjustable 4/8/10 psi I was thinking 1000cc Dynamic injectors
Ripper Squad 1000cc would be way overkill. 400cc to 600cc should be plenty!
JDMods ill Try 600cc Thanks 👍 By The way That Bov Is Awesome
awesome!
is the engine stock
Bettle1.8t Turbo yes the engine is stock
Also I dont want to have to work on it all the time either why I want to got 8-9lbs
Do a pull!
2 questions:
1. How devoted are you to your boyfriend?
2. Would you like to move in with me in California and boost my RSX?
:) subbed
Pretty devoted haha, but thanks for the sub!
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Nice
damn my type s make 213whp and it has just an exhaust, intake and headers. but i wish i had your amount of torque.
Caleb Prewitt I have the same mods and made 230whp
My biggest Complaint owning both the S and the baseline is the amount of RPMs the S needs to make the same Torque as the Base 3800 max Torque on base 7000 on the Type S
Stock k20a3 makes 160hp n 143t
xxIdentItyExcalibur 160 crank
Yeah I put my stock ep3 with a k20a3 on the dyno and it made 160 to the wheels. Idk where 123 to the wheels came from.
Mathew Long my car has a stock k20a3. All we did was tune it after swapping out a bad motor, and it laid down 160 to the wheels. I have video and a graph. Idk what’s wrong with your car, but every a3 I’ve ever felt with has put down somewhere in the neighborhood of 160.
seen it on instagram first, nice numbers for a ebay kit
tony the tiger
Cute and she boosts
Lucky guy
Lol aren’t you from Barrie?
+Alexander Dus yeah! Have you seen it ripping?
"k23" but k20 on the video
what ?
Vegas Garage she said k20a3
No she didn't 2:15
Vegas Garage I understand but I'm sure she knows and just was abbreviating to k23 from k20a3 lol
Vegas Garage I said k20a3 I just talk really fast 😂
first
my name is bob (hi)
Swap a k20a2 type S motor you'll definitely be in the 300's
jdm
Ali is so hot
please get rid of that spoiler....other than that cool car dudes
Anthony Gomez well with making this much power, a spoiler is semi beneficial
God that wing is disgusting
How long did the turbo and the engine last?
