I thought I would jump out of the Drama Tree and talk cars with you.
We(ALAN COX AUTOMOTIVE)are rebuilding my 03 Honda Civic Si & upgrading most everything. After several Track Days & Over Revving the Motor, it was time to make this step.
REBUILD.
NEW ROD BRGS
OIL PUMP HOUSING & GEAR
UPGRADES.
EXTRUDE HONED RSX TYPE S HEAD
PORTED & POLISHED INTAKE MANIFOLD
RSX TYPE S PISTONS & RINGS
HONDATA K PRO ECU
EXEEDY STAGE 1 CLUTCH KIT
KNOWLEDGE PERFORMANCE LIGHT WEIGHT FLYWHEEL.
We are consulting with Knowledge Performance who will also be doing the Hondata K Pro & Tuning.
My question is, has anyone ever heard of this being done? I am keeping my 03 SI Block.
Kevin at Knowledge said he knows of one person that did it.
The pistons upgrade from 9 to1 comp to 11 to 1.5.
We found a few minor differences between the motors but not much.
The K20A3 (SI) is the same except for the Pistons & the Cams.
There are a few technical differences but it looks like Honda went out of their way to make the K20A3 weaker by designing a weird looking piston that lowers compression and putting in the weaker cams which have less lobes to open at VTEC. In fact, I really don't have VTEC in the since of the old B Series Eng.
Any pointers out there?
