(shrug) If it works... it works. Doesn’t matter if it’s what I would have done or whether it is or isn’t good bang-for-the-buck to build up a K20C2 vs buying a L15B7 car. Given the scope of the thread... it’s still alive. I’d love to know how much it all was (I think it’s be safe to say more than a new Si for new LX + turbo + tune + internals + labor to put together a one-off) and how it quantitatively compares to any L15B7 car. I assume it’s able to at least bridge the gap between a stock k20C2 and a reflashed L15B7... which is about a 100 whp bump. That would have been pretty mild for an old A3 turbo car.Well aftermarket internals should save a motor from blowing lol which OP has
Even now... I can hardly think of this and not immediately compare it to what a L15B7 car can do... and I hate to do it because I’m in an endless loop of comparison. I also am routinely... maybe not down... but certainly lukewarm about the base engine. I’ll just stop myself and say it’s cool he did it... I’m glad it’s still running and I hope for other guys who absolutely love their cars and follow their heart and not maybe their head to pour money into their K20C2 cars... that it works out just as well for them and their K20C2 cars put on a strong enough showing that they feel like it was money well spent.
In the end... I’m over $20k in my 300zx between the car and mods and replacing old stuff inside of 5 years so I don’t have any room to talk about the value of things when it comes to cars. ? I bet the thing isn’t worth $10k. It was worth it to me. I barely drive it at all but I sure am glad it’s sitting in the garage for when I want to.
