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.

Looks good. What did it run before? Should go deep into the 9s now

 

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Really appreciate them.

Going to be a lot of car for somewhat a noob driver should be fun

 

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

 

Very nice work so far

 

great progress so far. cant wait to see the finished set up

 

looks sweet!

 

Nice build. Great fab work!

 

looks good.

 

Nice fab work man. Curious to see those ECTs.

 

Very nice work the concept looks very promising

 

Impressive!

 

Wow. Very impressive. Looking forward to seeing some numbers.

 

I like the intercooler duct work!

 

looking good

 

Awesome to see a top notch northwest fwd build! Can't wait to see you guys run.

 

Dc2s look so good with the 3 pc front ends

 

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.

 

how many ifo races in the area?

 

This.

 

3 this year..albeit the pr one was cancelled...how many of the other local races have the turnout and payout of an ifo event?
