Icon7 The quest for 9's- K20 Turbo DC2 by Trackforged

So one of our drag racers (Adam) & good buddy of mine also a talented drag racer btw. Recently decided to do a K20 swap, I have no idea who gave him that idea lol. Anyway its not done yet and probably wont finish until this winter but I thought I'd make a thread to track his progress, and for others to maybe look to for inspiration.

Before he decided to do the swap Adam was actually doing very well with his turbo B18. Lets go back to what it used to be like.

The old setup






Drag cage getting some color?


Edelbrok 3812 Throttle Body 75mm


DSS Spool


Out with the old and in with the new!


Electric water pump


Mirror delete


CF hatch


Custom intake manifold!


Turbo manifold in progress.

8/29/2012
New front end came in!






Plenum runner inlets routed


walbro 400lph


Custom Lexan Windows going in 8/31/12

10/25/12



















































*UPDATE* 11.3.12

karcepts hub adapters. now i can use "36mm" axles with my civic hubs.






Battery Tray




RSX 5 Speed Trans 9k original miles. Auto wrecker had this trans on there shelf since 2005 until i picked it up the other week.
Now i wont have to shift into fifth.





AEM series one



Dual -8 feed, -6 Return. Aluminum hard lines. K-tuned Pro-1000 Rail

The fab work looks really good!
What kind of program did you use for the intake manifold design? or did you just wing it?

Good to see another fast build coming out of the NW. I'm a lil bummed out the car isn't setup for IFO FWD class though. It would do very well in that class.
