yea..but i'd rather just swap the entire engine..to get a hold of a used K20a2 isnt too bad...less than 4g's to purchase one w/out selling your old motor..and everything including the tranny just bolts right in...
Hondata wouldnt be a bad way to go either...w/ Hondata the EP's are able to cut 1 sec from their 0-60 due to the higher shiftpoints and more agressive fuel curves offered by the flash, throw in some toda cams, cai, comptech headers, exhaust..and you'll be set for awhile =)
I WOULDNT SAY ITS A PUSS , BUT I TOO INTEND TO UPGRADE MY SILVER 2002SI WITH AS MUCH SHIT AS I CAN. HAVING GONE FROM A 1994 FORMULA FIREBIRD W/315 HP THIS LITTLE RICE ROCKET NEEDS MORE BALLS! I LOVE THE CAR(MY FIRST FOREIGN CAR) IT PUTS YOUR HEAD BACK(SLIGHTLY) ,THE ONLY THING IVE DONE IS AEM COLD AIR, SO IT SOUNDS MORE THROAGHTY ,BUT MY OBJECTIVE IS TO BE ABLE TO DUST MY OLD FIREBIRD.....SOON, VERY SOON. PEACE.
*asianpride559* please do not type in all caps..its considered yelling
i have a K&N drop filter in my Si, and that's all the sound i need for now...
...before i got my Si i used to have a 2000 DX coupe, non vtec obviously, i put on an exhaust on that thing and it was so loud that i was really annoyed by it
Since the 2002-03 Si i-Vtec k20c also incorporates Variable Timing Control (VTC), wouldn't the power band be so linear that VTEC engagement would be a lot less noticable?
That is pretty much the end result. The i-VTEC-E engines don't really have a a noticable change over like the older B Series engine, they go from 12 valves to 16 when the change over occurs. At least when I drove a new HB Civic I could not hear any real change, it sounded the same all the way up to redline. The B Series engine really growls when VTEC engages even without I/H/E bolt-ons.
so lemme get this str8....the new si's are just like the old hx's?.....cause if you look at it that way, then my 00 ex would smoke um?!? or i could pull on an si up to 2500, which would be a waste, but theorectically(spell check) speaking ?!? i am just confused still? anyone?

No, because the Si still has a better power to weight ratio than the EX. The K20A3 engine still has 160hp and 132 lb-ft of torque, so it is actually better than a B16A. Not to mention, the new Si's transmission has very short gearing . . .
so what u guys are saying basicaly the civic si hb 2002 can take the si 2000 ex with no problem rigth i need help making my car real fast wanna dust some mussle car n some GSR's
k20a2 in a 92-95 hatch would be sick i saw a vid on here in the vid forum it was fast as hell.. also theres a crx with the k20 its sickk here are some of thos vids
Does anyone know how VTEC sounds on the 2002 Civic Si with an Aftermarket Exhaust is installed? Does it sound ANYTHING like the VTEC Engagement on a B-Series motor? I just bought a 2002 Civic Si (paid cash $17500) and the exhaust is TOO quiet and I was just wondering if anyone has done this or heard one with an Aftermarket Exhaust......OH Yea and AFTER 500 miles the car pulls ALOT harder.....I think it has something to do with the ECU not letting the motor do its full thing until its broken in.
to answer your question, if you want an aggressive crossover into vtec.. "if thats what you want to hear" ur first mods should be a CAI and headers... plus k series motor respond really well to boltons... so its an added plus..
B- series vtec sounds more raw imo.. the new k series sounds more toned down from the olden days "not as loud" but still sounding good.
to clear everything up and end this godforsaken ricer thread. Only idiot ricers want to hear/feel vtec egagement. the stutter you feel isn't a good thing. when vtec cross-over happens and you switch cam profiles, you are feeling a momentary dip in hp/tq. that is not a good thing. a real tuner will try and tune their engine so that this is flattented out. with that being said anybody who revives this thread again is stupid. good night i'm going to have sex with an asian girl now.
