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

In for custom fab manifolds on a K in a teg Excellent work. Im a fan of the old setup too honestly

 

how much power did he make with his old set up?

 

Evan

 

No intent to thread jack but where did you get this front bumper? and it looks like you had a 98-01 front bumper before do you think it would fit on a 96?

 

good stuff

 

nice intake manifold! i also want to know where the front bumper came from?

 

im interested since im just waitinf on a tune for my gsr turbo.

 

nice build

 

The front end is from Strada

 

The front end is from Strada Industries. Fits like a dream. Will fit 94-01 integra. Heres a link to there FB page. http://www.facebook.com/strada.ind When i got the car dialed in i ran an 11.3 at 128mph with the old setup. That was at 15psi making about 390whp on e85. Head was portflow. Forged rods and pistons. Stock sleeves. Tilton twin. Was confident that I wouldve broken into the tens on that setup. Then I got the itch of the "k". Here in the northwest we only have a couple event per year that mean anything. So building the car to race street trim just got old. I decided, lets go as fast as possible, screw class restriction. So along with the k-swap, I decided to focus on cutting weight, along with improving aerodynamics. The first season the motor will be stock internals. But plan to push it to the 500 range. Anyone know what the stock block k-series record is? Thanks for the interest. This project is about to pick up some serious momentum in the next months. Stay tuned. Updates be coming! -Adam

At one point with that bseries setup i made 500 on with pump and water/meth injection. switched to e85...aaaaand ran out of pump lol -Adam

 

www.facebook.com/strada.ind Highly Suggest, also got sunroof plug from them.

 

Thanks! haha it almost hurts to see pictures of my old setup looking all fresh. Just have to stay focused and committed to the new setup, itll get there.

 

cool so is hope alive for me hitting tens with only 500 whp ? lol keep hope alive. i also wish i would of went k when i had a job
