Ep3 question

Well I've been asked this before and really don't know the anwser. Since the ep3 is equipped with a k20 that isn't as well a performer like the k20 in the same year type s is there a hybrid that can be done with it? Like an ls vtec type deal for example

Yes, the RSX-S head will bolt right up to the EP3 bottom end.

There are a few threads about this on EPhatch.com and guys hated it after they did it. They got better HP numbers but their cars weren't any faster.

Just do a search. Ephatch Ep3 Information
