K20a3: Head Swap Only?

Thanks for these videos. Just bought a ep3 and found a complete z3 head. I appreciate your wisdom.

i watched a video where buddy with his EP3 sir with a stock k20a3 bottom end and a stock a2 head make 205 to the wheels all you need is a good engine management system and a good tuner

What does it take to do a k20z3 head swap to an k20a3 block?

[scottchelmford]

Some kid in Michigan broke 200 whp with the hondata flash and a set of skunk2 drop in cams along w other supporting mods on the stock a3. Not going to be setting any records with it but 200 whp on an ep3 is just right for a street car

I'm doing a K20A3 with a K20A2 head with stock A2 cams, considering Skunk stage 2 tuner cams and gonna do 10.5 to one forged pistons and forged rods and gonna likely have the crank balanced and ARP main and head studs and turbo'ing mine 10-12 PSI, with VTech killer rockers, and putting it in a 95 Saturn SL2 that has a Seibon carbon hood and Einkei RPF1 15X7's that weigh 9.8 LBS each. Not sure with Turbo'ing mine if I should go any higher than 10.5 to 1 compression, just to be safe in the long term.

Have and 02 rsx k20a3 had a piston most likely touch a valve, could I use a head off a k24a1 just swapping it over and would I run chains for the k20 or the 24a1?

[charlestorruella]

You don't need a head swap just the a2 cams and a good intake and exhaust and your right at 200 a2 pistons and your close to 220 did all that and got 220 with kpro but because of my shitty wireing harness I torched a head and block wasn't bad but it now has another stock a3 as I rebuild the other but this time it's getting a3 h beam rods and possibly boost

[SeamanTech]

K24 RBB head to a K20A3 block .. will it give more power? The rbb head has 3 lobes both intake and exhaust

[averyalexander]

Dumb question- Why wouldn't someone just get a K24A2 if they want 200 HP? You can get a K24A2 for around $600 at junkyards, probably cheaper if you look around. So even if you can get a K20A3 for $200, that still doesn't seem like as good of a deal since you would have to spend much more than the $400 difference to get to 200 HP with the A3? And the K24A2 has a lot more torque too. Thanks

I am doing this swap this month i have kpro already and am doing a a2 head with new higher comp valves and i have a set of z3 pistons that are going on. gonna make the ep3 scream

[kareemallie]

really informative. Im realitively new to hondas why not just skim the head to increase the compression rather then dismantling the bottom end

[That_boostedhatch]

What head gasket would I use for a k20a3 block and z3 head

[redcar]

will it be reliable though???
or will a full internal swap be better? might as well get a a2...

[giraykharizzma]

Head swap is like plug and play ? Kpro needed too ?

[jacksouthin]

Hi, your videos are super helpful thanks, im currently building an EP3 here in the UK, im on a budget and i have a K20a6 (same as the k20a3) and i am wondering if i can put a k24a3 head onto it, as here in the UK k20a2 heads are about $700 and the k24a3 heads are $300
Thanks man

Is it possible and feasible to put a k24a2 head on a k20a2 block...and what would be the pros and cons?

[javonharris]

This might be a stupid question but are bolt ons and a head swap pointless if I want to keep the auto transmission? Trying to get some power while keeping a comfortable ride

[davidjordan]

So you said a a2 head on a a3 will get you to 170 thats only 10 hp more than stock a3 plus bolt ons get you to 200 hp iys cheaper to just buy a a2 to begin with.
I have a a3 and i figured id put the best of the best bolt ons on it then when thats done id purchase a a2 and swich everything over. Id do it that way to utilize my bs a3 while i get good parts one by one .

[hawkeegan]

I know this has nothing to do with heads but I’m thinking about tuning my base...is k-tuner a good option?

[sulfat]

hello bro, i got an rsx base (k20A3), what can i do to add good clean hp? i dont wont to burn the engine tho :D aint got much money for this job (around 1200-1500 usd)
