I disagree, K20a.org is a bunch of number jockeys. I cant tell you how many guys post "230whp with just a SSR header and Skunk2 Stage1s and KPRO" and people believe it. I cant tell you how many 230-250whp graphs ive seen off there that are such bullshit because they had IPS cams.
Chunkys "R" motor barely made 210 (Type R Pistons, type-R cams)
Chunkys "Built" motor with IPS K2s barely made 230whp (other people online were claiming 250-260 with similar builds
Chunkys Built motor with IPS K2s MK IIIs and my header 240whp (about the same amount of money to build his motor as my old 2.0lLSVTEC which made the same numbers) so i saw absolutely no benefit in going with a K series. It makes sense for chunky because he has a K Powered car already.
That kid Jay made 255whp with a K24, SKUNK2 STAGE 3s, 12.5:1 compression, inline pro motor, $1000 header all kinds of shit. I just dont see where you are going to pick up an extra 20-30whp.
Point is the K guys can argue all they want, but for street cars there are far better options ALL MOTOR for far less money. Those setups have been posted in this thread numerous times. If you are starting from scratch with an EG hatch as your car, K series is overpriced for the HP you get IMO, and more for bragging rights.
Id rather build a 250whp $6000 H2B than a 275whp $10,000 K24, but for other people it doesnt matter.
K20a is a cool site, i know a lot of people on there, but i stopped logging in when Nikos hacked into my PMs and posted my results without my consent after chunky and i did 20 hours of testing to show HIS USERS the difference between Skunk2 and IPS cams something nobody had done at the time. We had nice write ups and information and interviewed the people involved with the test, and rather than wait 2 hours for me to post the results, he broke into my PM account (since he owns the site) and leaked the results (which were not even the right dyno graphs) to Omniman in hopes of putting out false information to save face for IPS. Ever since then ive lost all respect for him, his site is just a advertising forum for IPS. So any graph i see on there, its cool, its nice, but i guarantee the cars making XXX hp wont make that here in GA, which in the end is all that matters.
