Tonight I am going to talk about an engine that is a little more personal to me. This engine actually in the car I drive most days of the week. Again it is a two liter displacement engine but, its from Honda. This engine particularly is found in my car, an Acura RSX. The K20A3 is an i-VTEC engine. I-VTEC is a way of variating the valve timing. My engine has a completely different setup than what comes from the factory. To be more specific I have a Garrett GT28 ball bearing turbo and a full three inch exhaust. Also on the exhaust side I have an HKS four-to-one manifold. I just recently painted the manifold and down pipe and a few inner cooler pipes. I also have a custom front mount inner cooler which makes for a nice punch when boost hits. I also have a fairly nice suspension I have Injen coil overs and Megan racing strut tower bars. Along with a c-pillar bar along the back seat. I also have bigger 850 injectors and a larger throttle body. The transmission has a spec stage 3 racing clutch and makes the city driving tough. The suspension has a nice ride for what style of driving its ment for. I have always wanted to take my car to an auto cross because I think it would be a great time learning to drive my car. I love driving my car. The next few modifications I would like to do are get some new rims to improve the looks of the ride and some newer drag radials for the summer driving that I intend to do. But as for this winter I plan on storing it in a garage where it cant be hit by a snow plow or other careless drivers. I also make sure to detail my car about once every three weeks to make sure it keeps its nice shine to it for as long as possible.Tuesday, September 7, 2010
