the new style manifolds like mine are cleaner , the wastegate is under rather over. that car got a nice bay though. youl love K series. little pricier but also no comparison to any of the older engines.

i better like it hahaha

those manifolds arent very cheap lol been through clubrsx trying find one

i know man the peakboost and full race gear is definitely pricey , lol. but it is lifetime warrantied and of course the best and proven to make power. if i see anything for a good deal ill let you know my man.

car looks sick man, plan on doing a jdm front end conversion on mine before next season.

why 5 speed? i thought the a2's came with a 6 speed.
or are you running an a3 tranny?

should be a nice build.
whoever bought your other motor got a steal.

im still waiting on the vehicle with the donor swap to show up (smashed 98 integra with k20 swap). Buddy having hard time with getting it here.

but yes it comes with a 6 speed with i believe Kpro with lock out feature. From all the information ive read, the 5 speed a3 is better tranny to use if boosted. Ive already gto a 5 speed lined up for it

i wouldnt say 5 speed is better , its preference. be aware the gearing is different between A3 base rsx and A3 SiR trannys.

im still debating between either A3. I can pick either one. Im still reading up on what people are using for tire combonations at the track when running over 400whp.

yes 6 speed or 5 speed is preferance, but from what ive noticed, with over 400whp, 24.5" slicks your pretty much having to shift into 5th. I want to avoid that if i can. Plus when tranny goes kaboom, easier finding 5 speeds

Block is at the machine shop, wiseco 86.5mm 9.0:1 pistons, along with eagle rods are being installed. ARP headstuds are in. act 6 puck is in. Just waiting on my Kpro to show up tommorow, Sparks harness, karcepts shifting plate and then to order an aluminum radiator.

and next week i should have Tbones 60-1 for the car. Shit this isnt cheap, but how many other jdm front integras around sporting a K20 with turbo

[/img]

and just incase no one has seen the car before with wire tuck and everythinf done








To match the CF hood and trunk, im comtiplating a CF roof cap.

and my new turbo



what a quick month. went from boosted b18b to a built k20a2 with ep3 5 speed. and almost half turbo parts ordered that i need. Going be FUN summer

this is going to be sweet, and silly fast when your done. nice build man

Love your car bro. Lots of change, but its for the better

Keep us updated, loving the progress so far!!

The carbon roof cap would look sick on there, it would be like a stripe of carbon fibre from the front to the back.

Glad you kept it by the way, I can't wait to see what you do with it in the new K20A turbo phase.

this is one mean teg man, good job with build

Thanks!

It was pretty much sold. Guy had cash in hand, but i got a sweet deal on a swap and i sold my motor/turbo set up for a decent price. I dont think ill ever sell it now.

good work adam.

pm me about the roof in CF

going with the ep3 tranny are ya? alot of guys run em for sure. that looks like a borg warner turbo , or at least the anti surge cold housing does , lol.

when this is all done , for that whole summer youl have that googly look in your eyes like youve just met and fell for the love of your life , hahaha.

any questions or ever need a hand buddy let me know. be glad to help.

the cold housing is off a kentic motorsports sc61
it will be sent away, checked out and freashly rebuilt before he gets it

hahahaha ! I hope so :p I keep getting ragged on about putting a K series and not building my B series.

Should be fun. ill be happy to drag race again

dont worry buddy , have no queries on building a K series over B series. theres absolutely no comparison. those people raggin on you about it , are those who want K series as well but cant get it hahaha.

keep thinkin that..

Car looks awsome man, Can't wait to see it finished ............

yeah really. hahahaha

looks like an awesome build. cant wait to see it finished, and at the track.

go figure boostedteg , the only guy that takes it personally instead of just joking around , was a guy running a B series setup , hahah. grow up benny ya puker , im joking around haha. your too old for the gay my engine is better than yours bullshit , lol. you too burns , lol , but im assuming by your you caught the humor in that. anyone knows me well knows i love all the different engines. even D series have thier place.

ran the car again on dyno day for shits and giggles as well as charity , made 345 whp and 275 trq at 8psi. before you go on about how K isnt better than B monkeys , go find me a stock sleeve B series with those numbers on nothing but an hour street tune at 8psi , muaahahahaha.

at that low of a horse power number why would anyone need after market sleeves?

hahaha i knew someone would say something serious rather joking back like you should be and having a little fun with each other. anyways well stop cluttering his build thread now.

hey cranny, I just got back from watchin some cars makin that power ALL MOTOR... lol

when you gonna step it up?

them are some big dollar engines buddy and you know it , haha. in the spring ill turn er up. i cant race the car without slicks and lsd AT LEAST , and couple other things really. so why bother turning it up without them honestly? whats the point of having 500 horse in a fwd car on the street? my car WILL NOT bite the road in 3rd gear 95% of the time at these numbers and thats no bullshit. hopefully over the winter i can get the budget to get my hands on what i need to run it on the track , than well have some fun. you dont think im dying to see what this can do? you think im scared or somin? lol. whats the point is my point.

well plans are to have over 400 pump on stock sleeves and we'll see what it'll do on race fuel. got lots confidence for the track.


I ran 12.42 with 275 whp..... should do way better next year

btw, what Benny run with almost 500 haha JK

cranny, with your set up, you could easy push that motor to the 500 mark. there plenty of stock sleeved k's runniing 450-500 daily.. its crazy! I love it And theres quite few Ks running over 650, even TD Autoworks i believe just hit 1000whp lmao Dont see many Bs with that

Like wise! you should pull some good numbers and times also! Be nice seeing some fast integras

stock sleeved k20a2 Do that, run it down the track, turn down the boost. lol

theres MANY stock K20's running over 400 man. theres alot high horse like you said up to 900 whp engines , that are still running stock flowing heads boosted!!. if your gonna put pistons and rods in it boosted , you can hit 500 with the right gear easy buddy. i can run mine to 6 easy. ive talked to many experienced and reputable people who used to build B series and long ago switched over when K came out. MANY if not 99% have yet to see a stock K series sleeve fail. theres PLENTY of normal guys out there with good budgets that run 9's consistent with stock sleeve K20's. we can debate what engine is better till were blue in the face , but factually the answer is what it is and very simple. anyone that would sit here and argue a B or H series DOHC VTEC engine is better than a K series DOHC I-VTEC, doesnt understand how these engines work at all or fully , and how the technologys incorporated in them benefit them.

im excited for you boosted , youl love it buddy. theres a guy selling a nice AFI manifold on k20.org. he wants too much for it though , lol.

http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65954

gee man just came across this , pretty good fuckin deal man , lol.

http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66601

thats amazing deal if only didnt need other stuff first

there poeple that ran over 400 whp on stock sleave and didnt have a problem the problem is if the head gasket goes the motor hydrolock and the sleave has to go dont take a genius

anyway h series are better 400 whp i have in mine at 7 psi and over 300 wtq

i will put my h over any of you k series around here even my nefew b seires



there nothing wrong whit besire if you dont want to spend the money on a good setup for a turbo your not going to make hp same for a k seires


if any one what to donate a h22 that runs even if it burn oil i will push it to 600 whp no problem

LOL, i was breaking loose also 3 years ago in an allmotor.... so what's your point ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-HvgaEPsos

lol..... breaking loose in 3rd gear in a 6 speed isn't impressive, becausee i'ts a split gear, try breaking loose in 4th in a 6speed, that's equal to a 3rd gear in a 5 speed. then you'd get my attention! lol

LOL, why won't you lend me your turbo for a day then? , so i can show you WHAT a k20 can do, i'll blow the block up purposely, but you always declined, who's chicken now? don't worry danny i know your scare but your numbers will be broken this comming year, if cranny can grow some serious balls from his current little pea's and push it, or if the turbo can flow enough we'll try with adams, I got a spare k20 that ill donate... lol regardless if a k20a2 does hit's over 500whp, it shows that you don't need a sleeved block, or built head, cams etc like all the B-series/h series has.... fully ported heads, valvetrain, SLEEVED blocks etc... those motors easily are like 4000 plus... which a stock k20a2 can be purchased for 1300$... to me that's technology... jeff's right, ton of people in the states don't build the motors like they used to, many stock k20a2's and a few barrels of c16, and run season's like it, when the motor pop's they replace the block and keep the same tune.....

in 2 years, another 4-10 k-series will be out, and more boosted, by then the numbers will be higher than current b's and those owning them will still argue. that b's are more reliable bla bla bla... endless debate when somebody's engine is outclassed.

look at ken, his built h22a STROKER was putting down 300whp, with single lobe cams, jeremy's old head, ferrea valvetrain, custom pistons and rod combo, itb's a side header, A TON of money.... and he went against EK's full body chassis cars with 369whp, still making 10's STREET legal... a heavier car, and more power... hmmmmm... if k-series weren't that good, why wasn't any other platform at the event ?

turbo k's are in the 8 second club,... not many b's or h's in that club... lol
lol.

Danny, theres stock K20's pushing 22 psi and making over 600hp no problem, no its not going to last long but neither is the H. Can a stock H handle 15 psi and run safely with a good tune? Not that I know of, theres plenty stock K's running 15 psi and with a safe tune, nailing 450-500whp without a problem.

lol, must we get into this debate...

first off, you might want to read alittle TURBO 101.

PSI level means absolutely jack shit. Its the power that means something to determine whether or not an engine will blow up. You can run 15psi on a baby turbo and not even make 200whp. Im pretty sure any engine could handle that.. You run 15psi on a big boy turbo, and it could easily make 450+whp... which some engines CANT take

so now that we have that clear, what were you saying about 15psi or 22psi... lol
maybe now you can clarify exactly what turbos were ran on each setup..

Back on topic here guys, this thread isn't to argue which motor is better or who's e-penis bigger.

She's gonna haul ass regardless, I can't wait to see it

hahaha this all in good laughs

any car, any motor, with enough money is going to work well. B,H,K,F, hell ive seen Ds running 10s boosted.

i sold my motor/turbo set up for good price. was either build a gsr, or build a k20. I got more help and wicked deals on k swap/build then i wouldve with a gsr or h22.

Im happy to have a K instead of a B. And to have one built with a a turbo that can push 500, im no going complain!

Just be nice to have the first K turbo Integra

should have more pictures this week once the rings show up and hopefully mounts, harness, and shifter plate

/end thread jack, lol. Cant wait to see the finished product, going to be an absolute beast, good luck

do you think i was bragging gilles? , jesus , i was stating why i dont have it any higher. do you even read it? or just jump at the chance to go on like a 10 year old? , serious man grow up your an adult get over this pickin at me. its rediculous.

you may not know there car out there that are not on lowmo that i have done


there car out there in the past 4 year that ran 400 whp on stock motors that stock piston and rods

glen martel ran 11.30 on a stock block rods and piston whit a h22 in a 98 accords full body and it lasted for over 2 years

and my old civic whit a stock h22 is still running today making over 350 whp

if k series were that good why poeple here are build them whit piston and rods what they cant tune


any way i still have my h22 in my car it will see over 700 on the dyno this year let see the k series aorund here do it


honda made a mistake when they build the s2000 motor the highest hp motor out there they forgot the variable timing in that motor

Since you didn't see this the first time I shall make it bigger for you.......

good lucK

well, Hasport Mounts showed up. Thank to Mike @ Ktuned, shipping was 2 days! Since was so great, i ordered a ktuned radiator for my swap.



I couldve bought a cheap ebay radiator and cut and re welded, but didnt bother.



Not bad day to spend $1000 bucks

Now only if my piston rings would show up that fast the motor would be put together

Keep us updated, I'm lovin the build.

K20 FTW!

mike is a good guy.

Hope to have more ordered and hopefulyl rings show up this week!

Met most K swap guys last night on the pubcrawl! haha we had good time picking on the B series guys there.

Your right Cranny. i was impressed so far with the service. I purchased the mounts with street inserts, and he said if i wanted the stiffer ones for track, that he'd send me replacements free
