Rep Power: 360 "Going by our 13.4 with 135 whp on street tires, and if we make 200 whp we're confidant we will run mid to high 12's on street tires. On slicks hopefully high 11's."
"We used integra da3 hubs and had custom shafts made by circuit worx. The car was tuned adjusting timing and fuel (no cam advance on current map as yet) for an hour and a half and it spat out 181 whp on a low reading dyno dynamics dyno. Lots left in it. Hitting the road with the car bad luck struck twice. First thirty seconds on the road we blew a CV. When replacing it we realised the mounts had sagged and the CV boots on both sides were rubbing on the control arms. And the rear mount let the engine move too much. We decided to try our luck as it was only just rubbing. Luck was not on our side. Just leaving to go to the track the rear engine mount snapped in turn letting the engine rock back and forth, resulting in the right hand shaft popping out of the gear box. The car is now back at the engineers workshop getting the engine raised and modifying mounts to suit at no cost. Could take a couple of weeks.
The positives. This is now the fastest car I've ever been in. The K20 in a 1560 pound car is fast. Can't wait to drive it again fully tuned." G AE82
this is from the guy who owns the car.

the K20 is so tall that its probably up that high so it doesn't smash the oil pan. Its a problem with the swap in the older cars.... the oil pan is the lowest point on the front end, and aluminum pans are "one and done" as far as scrapes go.
