If you have any questions about the swap, Post them up!!

 

I purchased my car when I was a junior in high school. (2002)

I took me about 2-3 years to save enough money to buy my 1st turbo kit.

Here is a webpage I made to show the setups I've been through.


My Favorite was my 2nd setup. Dual wastegates, built motor, everything was simple. Made 433whpish.

You coulda had a 700+whp b-series for what you paid for the k

 

can you tell me why anyone would want a 700whp integra for a street car?

Here is a more recent photo.

 

Who knows, my Teg street car should make somewhere between 750-800hp later this year, 4th gear should be fun ....

Sick setup though

 

No doubt the car is sick, but I think you just contradicted yourself?

So u swapped a K and turbo'd it for less hp? Im not trying to hate, but Im not sure I follow..


Oh and BTW I would like a 700hp integra. Come to find out 500whp is not enough for me

 

K-series motors have a much better powerband.. It doesnt make less power either. Should make 450whp 14-15psi.

They have alot better technology also.

 

I agree with the other guy.. you spent all that money, and will end up dropping a valve or cracking a sleeve way before you'll get EVEN CLOSE to what a B-series would do with that same investment. Oh well, live and learn.

 

Did i mention it took 3 years for the k-series motor to go in?

I wasn't exact motivated anymore. I sold all the b-series stuff to pay the car off. Was planning just a simple all motor kseries setup because I still enjoyed the car. Overtime, opportunities arrived, and I acquired a turbo kit. I wasn't planning going from a full built bseries setup to another stock turbo kseries setup. It just happened that way.

Overall, Im really happy the car moves on its own power. No more pushing it around the garage.

 

very well done. Not many people use the vertical fin intercooler except DSM cats.. Nice to see something a bit different. (At least this is what I gather from the photos posted)

 

Looks very well done.

I don't know why you're getting bagged on for going K on boost. If you can afford it, it's definetly worth it. Sure, a B series can do the job more than adequetly on the street and for less money but the K's have a better powerband and can handle a bit more abuse if set up correctly. Me personally i like the simplicity and cost of a boosted B series but wouldn't turn down the chance to have a similar setup to yours.

 

first itr ive seen with a k, maybe thats what ticks ppl off.


ppl gave me the same feedback when i went from built vitara d16 to stock ls boost... the ls might not hold the same power peak... but its a lot faster because of a better powerband, lag, etc.

car looks good.

 

Is this jordan?

 

lol i did the same thing... 2.0L sleeved topmount t67 ditched for a stock block k20a2 with a full-race t3/67 setup...

pump gas vs pump gas same boost the stock k makes more power sooner everywhere

and there are quite a few k's with just pistons and rods in the low to mid 700 range out there running everyday on the st. check k20a.org on that one

nice build

 

Now he can tell everyone he has a K series.... To each his own.

NO idea on power, still needing good street tune + iat sensor for ivtec to work.

The ITBS and supercharger never ran on the car. The car started with the turbo kit on it. Everything only has 55-60miles on everything. The car has been running for 6 months.

The car is a big headache actually. Everything on the car goes wrong. Clutchs, motors, leaks, leaks, leaks. You name it, it has leaked. I have learned alot though over the years. I wouldnt give up any of it. Everything has been good experiences with the car.

Ive done ITR expo in 2004, 20-30 Autocrosses, 1-2 road courses. Owned a internet part company.

I havent done much with the car in about 3-4 years though.

 

what the **** do u do for a living??

 

K series or nothing,nice setup.

 

lookin good sick setup

 

No ****! 5 setups! Not just a turbo swap neither geez I thought I was bad. But mad props for a k turbo black integra....My car doesnt even hold race gas power on the street its really upsetting! That k motor is gotta be a blast and much smoother than the b. Nice ride bro

 

hell yea +2 for a K series dc2R. my problem is that i went with the non boost friendly R version and it still a blast to drive ^_^

its your caR man and YOU do what YOU want not what anyone else on a bandwagon tells you to do.

cant wait for the #'s this mo fo puts out

 

Im currrently having boost control issues, but its very "boosty." I get 3-4psi around 3-3.5rpms.

The motor makes power in any gear. Its nuts.

 

WOW.

Cats in here are actually hating because you spent YOUR money on a K setup. C'mon guys, its HIS money, if thats what he wants to do, then so be it.

Nice setup man.
