K20A swap acceleration vid!

ok, good news is that the vid is up and running.

The bad news? ... well, you can't hear vtec at all ... but you definitely, definitely can hear it while in the car.

Also, the camera man had a very difficult time trying to keep the camera still while taping ... just out of 2 runs, this one was the better one ... so I'm posting it.

Mods: K20A, ep3 aem v2 (sri), nextgear intake manifold gasket, 17x7.5 ssr rims.

this run was also when I had my ultra thick 75w90 tranny fluid (which I quickly changed back to 10w30 oem honda mtf) ... so my car is actually a bit quicker than this now

simply amazing, It would be 10x better with a tripod and a slightly closer view of the gauges (maybe if the guy filming sat in the rear seat and taped over your shoulder?)

thats what i did i sat in the back and tape it over dereks shoulder but it did not work out every well as you can see i was all over the place. tripod would of been good idea. and it dident help that it was on an uneven pavement with hella stiff suspenion and i could not brace my self well.

its the best i could do

thanks for the comment guys ... too bad you can't see it in the vid, but vtec kicks at ~6100 rpms and rev limiter is 8700 (really, 8500 ... but the tach is off).

I want to take another one when I get my 3" cai in haha... I should just buy a camera -_-;;

turbos are not very good ideas ... but that's my opinion.
