Sojsboy - Wishing you went the K20 route?

Blown: kinda, kinda not, cause it would have exceeded the cost of the turbo, and would have been way more work then the turbo, but i dunno, i like boost alot, i'm just trying to buy internals to get to 10lbs of boost then i think i'd be happy. 10lbs would put me over 200whp and that's wut i'd settle with. so right now i'm looking into upgrading the headgasket and who makes it and wut is good. then i'll start looking into rods.

Headgasket, blockguard and tuning... You should be able to get 9psi safely.

I think with one would give up way too much with the K20 swap.

Damn, I wish I had some mad $$$ I would do the k20 swap

ya, but to get the k20a isn't it already like 7g's for the engine? that's like almost worth more thenmy car. haha. keith, PE couldn't find me any headgaskets for my car, someone on 7thgen said that he just used 2 oem ones.. is that safe? wut is blockguarding?

Will, it's the cheaper way to enforce your cylinder walls. Well, cheaper than re-sleeving your block.

The tachometer is justice enough to the swap existing. I mean, what other engine out there could do 7500rpm and 200km/h?

 
Rep Power: 0

actually....there's a way to make ur car do that..hahaha, i just took a pic of my car doing 240km/h at 8000rpm...hahahahha

there's this sequence u can do to test ur cluster...and ur gauges will go all the way up, then all the way down...so inorder to prove that there is infact a 1.7EL with a k20, he'll have to take pics of engine temp and gas as well..cause all the gauges go up at the same time...and if he does have a k20, the temp should stay normal...

so yea..like what my man says, no pix no care

GTracing - Do you know what the speed should be in accordance with the rpm/tire size/gear ratio? Or, are you just calling the picture fake without any proof...

 
Rep Power: 0

I did the calculations using a tire size of 195/60/R15(stock EL size).

In 5th gear at 7500rpm I calculated the speed to be 129.1mph. Converted to km/h, that would be 207.8 km/h.

I hope he isn't going that fast on the stock rubber. what is it, H rated?

My D15B2 can do that no problem.

He wasn't the first in Alberta to do this.

Bought mine out of the USA (3000 miles) everything needed for the swap off the RSX Type-S for $6000 shipped and brokerage included. Just know where to shop.

well that civic has a type-s engine...the 1.7EL has a type-r engine....it's the first 1.7EL to get that swap....

oh, btw, i tried already, the 1.7EL tops out at 200 flat...won't go any faster
