HKS 2.1 kit, about $3900. http://www.hks-power.co.jp/product_search/product/724
HKS cams, about $1800. http://www.hks-power.co.jp/product_db/engine/db/15662

Total engine teardown and reassembly with all part and labor costs. $X?

Result? 10, 10 FRIGGIN HORSEPOWER!



HKS supercharger kit, about $3800. http://www.hks-power.co.jp/product_d...arger/db/15607

Result? 50+ horsepower with options for more power and it all bolts on.



Sorry. If you spend all that money and do all that work just to pick up a dime at the rear wheels, that's absolutely, unequivocally and painfully stupid.
There are engines that pay you back with balls to the wall NA builds, the FA20 is most decidedly NOT one of them.

Waste your money as you will. I will not follow suit so your hopes of being unique will be realized.
If you read the page the ECU is original for 10HP. Its a stock rom.
I also think its a stock header and overpipe as Kansai does not list those parts on their site.
