i've had this exact setup. not a good modification to do on anything other than a car that sees minimal street time or minimal stop and go. tuning the idle is an absolute nightmare with the low vacuum the large overlap will pull at lower RPM. in addition there is a substantial loss of power under 4500 RPM. anyone wants a "budget" setup, use an rbb head swap and tsx cams...heres the thing. people throw type s cams in a k20a3 and expect crazy gains when in reality those cams do best over 7500 RPM where the k20a3 runs out of RPM.

Heck yea man! Did you watch my custom Vtec lock video? It sounds crazy cool but it does have its pros and cons for sure.
@VHBEngines4 жыл бұрын
i havent. shoot a link. but not gonna lie your custom lock kit would have to be crazy cheap for me to switch from cutting stock exhaust rockers. the majority i get im not really paying for and the ones i AM directly paying for cost me......id have to tell you in private lol

@Jon Salgado decided not to go vetec killer I took motor apart waiting to get it cleaned & machined & saving fir the awd conversion it's alot. & I bought another car so it's been on hold. I live where humble performance is located so I'll be having then tune the car once it's done & I'll be posting it. Atm its pretty much all stock oem. But I'm ordering all mew valve springs & retainers. & my built awd transmission I was quoted $5k so I'm set behind alot rn on the build because it's a Costome swap as well into a 2001 saturn sc2. Motor is not in because I have alot of chassie work to do. Re seem sealing & saving the engine bay.

i’m buying an ep3 soon as a daily, would 200hp be a good power goal to not break driving everyday? do i need to lock vtec to make smaller power with a k20a3?

Locking vtec doesn't increase power. It allows you to use the cams that makesnthe power. Keep diggin

Thanks and keep up the good work 👍

If you want the best of the best , for peace of mind , go for the Toda chain & tensioner.. I have them on my N/A k20a2 build , full built, internals, bolt ons , 279 whp ... never failed me once, but they are not cheap... If thats to much for the budget, always go OEM .... DONT risk anything else for chain & tensioner ... if the cheap ones go bad , there's a chance you'll damage your engine... Grtz
