K20A Turbo Pro’s and con’s question

[TODA AU]

what other things did you have to spend money on? upgraded gearbox, lsd, clutch, or was it due to stuff breaking coz of the added power? and tips for those looking to boost a dc5r?

Clutch & flywheel.
Fuel system - pump, injectors - optional reg & rail.
Various lines, braided or otherwise.
Oil cooler & associated parts.
Engine mounts
ECU & tuning costs that are associated
Brakes
Suspension
Engineer's report & changes required to comply.
Insurance
Exhaust system
Air box etc
There's probably a few more too...

Best tip is to not use a mediocre kit.
(Unless you're after mediocre results)
There is a lot in the tuning but only if everything else is up to the job.
Otherwise you'll need "Harry Potter" to tune it.

So far Bart hasn't busted anything.

Hi all,

As a completely noob question, all these posts mentioning the strength of the K-block, is it applicable only to the k20 or does the k24 exhibit similar characteristics?

[bennjamin]

wow just learnt k20a motors are square motors ( same bore and stroke of 86mm)
The k24 is bore 87mm and stroke 99mm. Adrian and others , does that essentially mean .5mm either side sleeves ?

Some guys has push over 800-900 hp on the stock crank. Rods and piston is a must

if you're pumping out 800hp+ then for sure it's not just rods+pistons...the block will be sleeved as well

Wicked time,

YBOOST set a damn good record for an N/A K20A aswell. 12.32, his car is truley legendary.

Can't wait till this EP3 is done.

YBOOST is a dc2r...100kg+ weight advantage over a dc5r/epr3

So far Bart hasn't busted anything.

yeh but is it his daily driver?

No, he only takes it out to punnish it... LOL
So it doesn't really see much stop start traffic driving.
That may or may not give a false look at it's true reliability.
Fair point though.
