My advice is wait until both you and the car are ready for some serious tinkering. It may be 15-20 years down the line with this car; I suspect that the K20C2 will perform reliably for a very long time. In the meantime, just enjoy this beautiful vehicle. There are plenty of other cheap and very...

If you're still interested, call Ktuner. Their tunes actually have adjustments for positive manifold pressure.

Sounds like this still needs to be tested. Show me the results and I will believe you.

I'm pretty sure Honda has used forged internals for all it's cars, I don't see why they would change that for the C2. But I agree, I would focus on reliability and a conservative build to start out with.

I want to see some 7-10 psi builds. Can somebody please make this happen? Would love to know how it all shakes out.

IMO one of the big limits for most owners with the C2 is the same with the B7: the CVT

Regarding swaps, if you can get your hands on the C1 it could be a good option. If you have the manual transmission, you might be able to get away with just buying a better clutch. It might run you into the green but in the end you will have a solid and probably road legal build.

I agree that it doesn't make sense to go for insane numbers on this platform until there has been a lot of research done and probably aftermarket support. But I standby whoever wants to try. I do however think it is reasonable and probably not too expensive to try a conservative build and see...

I don't know why you keep talking about the 1.5t haha you are on the wrong forum. I don't know how many times I have to repeat that the Ktuner rom has boost tools for the K20C2. Let people do what they want with their own stuff. Get off his nuts. Like you are afraid the world is gonna end...

Ktuner has boost tools but they are limited. The stock ECU can positive pressure. Give Ktuner a call.

If you are going down that route I recommend a full engine and ECU swap. The block has some important modifications that allow for more boost.

I think all the 10th gens have solid engines, though the type R was made for massive boost. I personally wouldn't dare push a C2 turbo set up past 10 psi and probably try to dampen the torque curve to prevent damage to the cvt. A centrifugal supercharger could be a good option, but you'd have to...

I am also leaning towards boost. Last time I checked Ktuner actually has limited boost tools for the K20C2 (timing delay, fueling increases) that are dependent on positive pressure. I'm convinced that the whole ECU can't read positive pressure thing is misinformation and misinterpretation at...

Direct injection fuel pressure? I'll have to take a closer look

Would be nice if ktuner gave us the fuel psi, but I guess we just need to trust the enigmatic 'boost tools'

It would be good to know the psi limits of the stock injectors and fuel line/regulator. Ecu based adjustments may be ok for a certain max psi.

Boost = positive pressure

Funny how all those saying that the 2.0L ecu can't read boost are on 1.5ts. Last time I checked the ktuner software there were (albeit limited) adjustments for fuel and timing per psi of boost.

Really? I thought these cams worked on stock K20/24 engines. Where did you find the information about the displacement difference?

lol, so is the 1.5t
