I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

i've seen 200whp n/a k20a3's and alot of 3-350 whp boosted setups. Those were just mild tho i'm sure it could handle 400 or so with a good tune. How long will it last is the real question.

Yea, I was hoping I could get 300whp as a daily driver if I decided to buy this turbo civic si I was looking at. Ive seen b16a's do 350hp with stock internals, so I figured the newer k20 would be even better.

With a good tuner it's chances of lasting longer is better. It all depends on how hard you push it you really cant give a life span on a car with boost its all in how you treat it.

do you think I could get a good tune with a greddy e manage? the car im lookin at already has it, so i guess it might be alright for a descent tune.
