K20A Power?

Hi Guys,

What power are you guys getting out of your K20's and with what mods??

Power of Dreams

120 kw atw seems to be the average with breathing mods.Of course different combo's are better then others.

yer mine put out 122kw atw with gruppeM and FGK powergetter catback

is that all you had matt? what rims did you dyno go on?

DANG

im getting 120KW atw with gruppem and rm01a and bC headers and high flow custom cat :S

Dyno numbers aren't the best tool to measure power and comparing to others, because there are way to many variables and inconsistencies. Some in QLD have DC5R + gruppym with kpro + tuning and making 135+kw where a person in SYD has toda headers, catback + hi flow + gruppym + mugen ecu and is only making 135kw.

You can't possibly say that the QLD car is faster because the dyno numbers are higher. Heck if you take my car I'm making 160kw atw, but I'm not as fast as some others.

Just note that its the gains you get. Don't rely on numbers too much.

Yeah all that matters for drivability is a big fat torque band. Peak power is just a penis extension.

Thanks for the response guys,

I wanted to know what type of mods work.

I did a search and there didnt seem to be a K20A specific.

This may help others with a K20A too;)

XP02ED: yep just intake and catback, wheels are 18" CE28's.

but as kookie said, can only really take results with grain of salt.

for some more comparisons, on same dyno but day before new CTR put out ~115kw and dc5r with only gruppem put out ~111kw.

ah all good i wont compare, i dunno my stock numbers but oh well future mods will be dynoed to see gains :D

I have looked else where, it seems that the JDM models have about 10kw atw more than the AUSDM, Type R that is. Whys that?? Is it because of the VTC??

I think it's been covered before.. A LOT... but my impression is different fuel/emission requirements and slightly different setup ie headers, cat.
