K/Turbo

Thanks fellow members for the compliments...I really appreciate them.


Thanks Kevbptron. I just updated my signature to show what kind on numbers this Civic is putting down. It's basically a stock K20z1 with a Greddy Turbo Kit with a RBC Manifold. The manifold gave me about 18whp and about 40 foot pounds of torque from the last tune. I,m trying to find the last chart to upload.

Once I complete the interior. I'm going to add a CF Trunk and paint the top black like a Scion TC. If the market gets better and I find a stable job then I'm going to start working on the K again.

Plans on the K would be upgrading the turbo manifold and piping. Defiantly will be upgrading the small Greddy Turbo because it's only equivalent to a GT16 turbo. This small turbo runs out of breath around 6k rpm. I'm also going to have a K24 block built with an S2000 crank so it can rev high. I'm also going to try some things to get the suspension to hook up better.

If your looking for the Eagle Eye's Brand I know they have them in these styles also but the brake/tail light is also clear.

If you don't want the brake/tail clear also then I think you may have to get the Depo ones like Sniperscouts has on his Vic.

Also if your searching Ebay use "civic 2004 2005 LED tail lights" instead of "civic 2004 2005 LED taillights" and you get alot more results. The key is tail lights vs taillights.

The f22c crank needs some machining to fit. A reputable shop can do it for around $300-$400 and the crank runs about $800 from Honda. It's been a while since I read up on this on www.k20a.org..I still need to research what type of pistons and rods to use.

BTW the CF Bezel came in. Here are some pics of it.

they're the 05-06 rsx stock gauges.

Oops...I thought you asked about the K24 block. The f22c will fit the K24 with some machining but I don't know with the K20 because it has a shorter deck.

Thanks for that link on the pistons and rods.

anytime bro...i'm still deciding(and i still have a long time to make my decision) on which application i want to go with. i want something that i can race at the track but also still be daily driven with reliability. i mean i'm not really looking for the most horsepower that i can possibly make but i want something that can beat my dad's gt mustang...lol.

nice rick... what did you do with the other ones?

K/Turbo

Thanks Bro! I just have them sitting in storage. I'm thinking about selling them for real cheap because they need to be sent in to get rebuilt.

Hi fellow members,

Some more goodies came in this week for the EM2. Here are some picks on what I'm working on this week. I just finished installing the new coilovers and going in for a wheel alignment tomorrow.

Wow these Function Form Type 2 Coilovers can go really low compared to the Type 1 Coilovers. They also added a bracket to bolt down the brake line and abs sensor. I drove the car around a little bit and it's the first time it doesn't feel like I'm riding on bumpstops while riding this low.

I have been searching around on this forum trying to find out what size Red H Honda emblem fits on the 2004-2005 EM2's front grill. If anybody knows for sure which one fits and can help me out I would really appreciate it...thanks!

Hi fellow members, thanks for the positive comments. Sorry I haven't been here for a while...I've been so busy.

I have increased the injector size to 1000 and had the car retuned at 278 whp. The car has a cracked exhaust manifold, but I'm going to replace that until later when I upgrade the turbo. I have some RC 440 injectors left over if anybody is interested.

Here's a little preview how the car is turning out.



I replaced the CF Hood and Grill. I added an JDM EP3 Red Honda Emblem. I'm sill working on the CF Trunk and the Dashboard.

Thanks
