I know this is VERY old, but it's just for some info for the 420a guys that have questions about the capabilities of their engine. I will delete any post that tries to turn it into the 420a vs 4g63 argument.

Just a question, since this is relating to ALL 420A builds, wouldn't be better if it was stickied/pinned?


EDIT: Because I was bored, I made this thread go from 111 views to 200...







Just to turn the little blue flag red...


EDIT 2: Nevermind... it needs 30? posts...

Hey guys im new here.. obviously lol

i was just searching for help on how to build my 420a, and i stumbled across your site. My goal is to acheive between 400-500 whp. Money isnt really an issue.

i read the one post about acheiving around 250 whp, so could i buy the same internal mods, just put a larger turbo on, sayyy a gtr35

Any help would be greatly appreciated :banana: :liebe011:

Cheers Dave

Yes but you would need WAY difffernt fuel mods and various other stuff... the internals arnt the only part of the engine.

May I make a suggestion... 400WHP on FWD is not fun.

250whp on FWD is sketchy and 300 is about enough for me on a FWD platform

My suggestion buy a gsx for the AWD so you can actually put that power to the ground.

The HRC kit is great for people looking to stay around 300 WHP but above that you will be better off starting with a better platform that can put that power down to the ground.

ya i know what you mean bout the traction issues, my buddy has a civic hatchback near 500whp ( ewwww a honda) he says he has to gently get it going then stomp on it, but he also has really sticky tires... he annialates anything on the road. :amen:

Building up my 420a was just an idea. I will just sell this one a find a good awd, im determined to smash that civic

Thanks for your opinion guys

that's cause you don't live near me :laughing: just kidding

you can plant 400whp with fwd but you will need some suspension work, a great clutch, skills, front end geometry, and some great tires.

don't use a gt35r, use a garrett t3 50 trim. it spools quick and can make around 450hp when tuned correctly and with the right fuel mods
