    Some people really do not like block guards which is what that is, some have success with them. Based on my research I chose not to get one and just stay stock in that area, I didn't have to over bore so my cylinders are still 86mm. As for the EFRs, does your chassis allow you to fit the twin scroll kit? If not, I definitely suggest getting the EFR in an externally gated setup, they perform much better that way.

    I think the twin scroll, internally gated kit would fit in the ep3. My tuner, drob, advised me to skip the k24 rebuild and source a k20 due to its stronger oem cylinder construction if i was to go turbo. So now im kinda back to the drawing board.

    Gotcha, well if you do go turbo, I cannot recommend going external over internal enough. It's far superior in every way.

    Can you ask D-Rob to post up about that cylinder construction information? I'm not trolling, I've heard it before. It would be awesome for him to explain that to everyone (me). It's just those little things that are nice to have on the forum for everyone!

    I can ask but I'll take a gander at what he is referring to. K24 bore is 87mm compared to a k20 which is 86mm. There is your +1mm cylinder thickness right there. Its just a bit more material that strengthens the k20 cylinders compared to the k24.

    It doesn't really matter anymore though- i think my boost days are over. I was quoted almost 6k for a custom TTS rotrex kit... So cross that off. I dont think my JRSC is even remotely fixable and i honestly have little faith now in stiegemeier to rebuild my blower even if they could. I also looked into the turbo option and i dont think the power band would suit my driving style or tastes... Along with the investment since i either need to buy another motor or rebuild mine on top of any of these boost options.

    ... So things are kind of pointing to the honda purist option. A fresh, stoutly built, street friendly NA k24 aimed at powerband and response for spirited mountain runs and light autocross and road racing. Sorry fellas- but a big power boosted street car just doesn't really fit the bill for me anymore.

    Thanks man. On a brighter side- i got a call today from Stiegemeier regarding my blower. They are condemning it but are looking for a new core. So it seems like they intend to replace it and make things right- which is good to hear. Now i just need to see if replacing my motor is more cost effective than rebuilding it.
