So I am looking to reach around 250-275 bhp. How would I go about doing this in a reasonable way. Is tuning the answer or is it more in depth.

You won't get there with the J30A1. period.



We swap in a mild build J35A3/A4, some guys use the J32A2. Then you can run a piggyback or stand alone.

But then you need to either swap in the 5-speed auto tranny or a 6 speed manual to match the HONDA ECU running the engine. You won't be able to use the 4-speed auto with the HONDA 5/6 speed tranny ECU's. The 4 speed tranny won't run 100%.

So yeah, it's a drivetrain swap or nothing.

How about turboing it? Maybe running like 5-7 psi out of it and if so how would I go about getting the right one space is not an issue
