I wanted to create a new thread so I can post the latest PICs and information on my engine build and a glance of the Swift Turbo kit. The engine is complete and installed minus the wiring. All the pipe, exhaust and exhaust manifold fabrication is 98% complete. *Note that all the parts you see in on the car may or may not be available for the production kit. The exhaust is placed along with the downpipe and wastegate. Over the next few weeks the Haltech, gauges, boost controller, wideband and Fuel system will be installed. More PICs once those parts are installed.

This has been a pleasure to work with Mo at Swift Racing on this long process. I’ve learned so much over the course of tearing and building up the K20Z3. Cars has always been a passion and finally had the opportunity to create a unique car. I have always been a Mustang person since I was 14 and owned approximately 19 since that time. This is my first attempt in the ricer market and hope that this build can answer some of those nagging questions and over time someone can take this build one step further.

Darton East K20 Sleeved Block





Stock Crank (Balanced)





Pistons are installed. Leak tested and holding 9.0:1 compression with no leaks. 88mm bore resulting in a displacement of 2092.3cc.



The Stock Oil pump was modified to increase the oil flow. Pockets where placed on the block underneath the oil pump to help with cavation.

Swift Racing Stage 3 Race port. The stock Honda heads are amazling huge. I wish I had closer PICs of the port but there are smooth and very sharp on the inside. Amazing port job!! And done by hand!















I planned to use Ferrera Valve train to complete the head. Spring, titanium retainer and 1mm oversize valves. Too bad it will only look like this before startup!









The head passed the leak down test with no leaks and after being decked the compression has dropped to 8.75:1 compression.

 

As you can see the motor is back in the car. I forgot to take PICs of the CAMS before they were installed so I hope these PICs will do them justice. BC Stage 2 Turbo CAMS.

 

Final assembly of the Exhaust Manifold before the engine is place back in the car for good.



Engine Dampner



Finally back in the car for good!



Quick Glance of the turbo and intercooler piping





The heart of the build. Precision PT6776E T3 turbo!

Swift Racing Custom Tubular Turbo Exhaust Manifold. I have several angles below











TiAL wastegate and placement with the Exhaust Manifold. Talk about a tight fit.

 

Quick Glance at the intercooler piping for the Swift Kit. Still waiting on the TiAL BOV so more PICs to come.







Kept my front bumper support and no modifying required! Good for 650WHP+

 

Notice the Dump Tube that runs in tandom with the exhaust downpipe!

Custom Swift Racing 3" exhaust with Vibrant muffler and resonator.

OK. Here's the link to the first Dyno run @ swift. I will post the Dyno sheets to most of my runs later this evening; along with some other random pics from the build. Enjoy.

Remember this is the first run. In the middle of converting the other runs and uploading to youtube.

Here's another run! This was the 2nd to last run.

YouTube - Swift Racing Turbo Kit 8th Gen (MDCivic07) 499WHP Run

 

Here's the last run from yesterday even! Want to thank Mo @ swift and all the other mechanics that was part of the build. This run hit a peak of 21.5psi running to 8600 rpm. The head is built for more and plan to upgrade to the RSX oil pump is in the works for this winter. Remember the car is only 90% complete. Had to try to break the 500whp range so one last run!

good luck....looks like you have everything figured out.

 

Wow, just ... WOW. This is awesome! I'm jealous... hehehe, this must have cost you a fortune?

I think you mean prevent cavitation. Decavitation isn't a word as far as I know.


Very cool! And expensive!

 

Excellent work. Props for all the detail you have posted.

 

+09797897 for the SI, IN FOR THE PICS

 

Props for a well build. It looks liked it payed off in a good way.

Thanks for the catch!

 

WOW. nice build. IF you ever go to the track to run it let me kno im in Md too.

 

Should be heading to Capital the following Friday. Need time to break the rings in.

 

nice job i love that you did this to a sedan not a lot of people will expect what you have under the hood

 

Very Nice!

 

Not that I have the money but, how much for just the kit minus engine work?
