obviously the headswap was incorporated and was ported as well as a full gasket replacement and slight block boring for type A OEM TSX pistons, so this should be good for about 11.2 cr either way I got the k20a2 oil pump and am struggling to get that chain at the moment to complete the build :-/

I'll find out when I have another monthly discussion with him on the progress of the retro project, either way, I can't wait to get them, it will finish off the exterior since its the only thing I have left for the exterior, other than 3 more sets of 17" rims.

yeah, I got it back on Sunday when I took matters into my own hands and even with that, it doesn't change the fact that I'm going to be changing my Internet Service Provider after this experience. I messaged you in regards to that on Sunday on BB messanger.

Im currently looking at finding dyno graphs with a similar setup as mine but Im guess only 180-200whp since I was at 150+whp. Doesnt sound like a lot but when you consider that the Civic Si redlines at 8200 stock and Im only going to be at 6500,.. at first. And considering most people push k20* heads to around an 8500 redline to get major power, but this is only the beginning of the project. Purely mechanical at the moment and of course I gotta get $$$ to pay off me depts.

But you know Ryann you'll be able to see it if you come to the Richmond meet ;-D Not in action of course Lips Sealed but just sexily idling!

But first Ive got a few other mechanical issues to take care of; water pump, mugen thermostat, clutch, then Im gonna get K or Fpro working in the car and raise the redline and adjust VTC to see how much whp I can make.

Hopefully thatll yield another 30-40whp and ill be sitting at like 260+whp before dropping the blower on. I plan on running about 6-7psi of boost out the gate and then getting the aftercooler and pumping it to 10psi and that'll be the mark Im looking for hopefully pushing 320-330+ whp. But yea thats all over a 6 month period. And of course down the line is the option for a Lysholm Twin Screw setup pushing around 10psi, That apparently yields another 50whp at 16psi. IDK the increase at 10 but we'll see, the Lysholm is not set in stone the JRSC is tho!
