If you find one cylinder running lean or rich you may benefit from switching to the direct port. I had to do that on my old H22. That said there are several local guys running 150 shot single fogger kits on K20s with zero issues. So you should have a ton of fun with this setup.


Yeah, I will be keeping an eye on that for sure. Although I may not even spray this k20a2. I may just wait until I have my new motor ready. I'm not sure to be honest. I do plan on picking up another RBC and sending it out to get ported. He will also add direct port bungs, and that is the plan when that time comes. I also love hearing about 150 shot k's with no issues!

I got my PRB head back from the machine shop.

Image

I have the head sitting on the block with an old head gasket. Waiting on when I can afford some Supertech dual valve springs and some Drag Cartel stage 4 cams. Then I will be claying the motor to check my p2v clearances and lock the vtc gear accordingly. Undecided if I am going to degree the cams. Well, the exhaust cam actually since I will be retaining vtc functionality.

And just roughly mocked up with the valve cover lol. This motor is 3 "firsts" for me. First time building a 4 cylinder (I've rebuilt a few though). First time building a motor on the floor. And first time building one in my house lmao!

#359201 Went to the Import Face Off in Woodburn over the weekend and ran for the very first time. Not bad for a stock k20a2 in a coupe spinning out of the hole!

I red lighted on both of my fastest passes lol. It was during test and tune on Saturday so I wasn't worried about it. Was cutting some great lights though with my best being a .016 reaction time. On Sunday during the brackets, first round, I staged a little deeper than I had been and red lighted. Oh well, I had a BLAST! Burned up my clutch though haha. My fastest trap speed was 105.70 mph!

Slicks and a new clutch should put me in the 12's easily. I have yet to get a retune on nitrous. That will be a whole different ball game lol

#359233 Thanks guys! I was pretty amazed myself! I made mistakes and there are things that need to be changed before i go back. my trap speeds are pretty impressive though. They tell me the car has 12.8's maybe even 12.6's in her if I can hook at the line. Will be looking to pick up some 23x8x13 slicks at some point and running a smaller wheel in the back lol. I can't wait to do it again!

Coming together slowly but surely. I think the wife is a little annoyed that I'm using a small corner in the house lol.

#361325 Can't wait for some updates! Just picked up an EG and a K swap can't wait to see how it feels (I use to have a 238whp H22 swap so I'm guessing similar)

Yeah, it will be similar at that power level. Although the k series just seems to have a different feel imo. Fun even stock. And so much potential.

#361568 I bought a new RBC manifold and a K-Tuned 72mm TB and had SBSperformance port the runners and match port the TB opening. Amazing work! If things go right, my plan is to finally have the new k24/k20 build in this summer. We'll see though...

#425426 Slowly but surely still collecting parts.

My ported RBC and K-Tuned 72mm is in hand.

Image

Competition Clutch 11.5lb flywheel. Since it's still going to be my daily, i don't need anything crazy lightweight lol.

Image

Clutch Masters FX350 clutch and pressure plate.

Image

Pair of 225/50 MT ET Street R's to play around with on the weekends.

Image

949 Racing 6UL's 15x8 +36 Tungsten finish. I bought 6 (4 for daily 2 to mount the drag radials) and I received 4 the other day (took 2 months to get them due to being back ordered) and the other 2 are back ordered until June lol. Beautiful wheels! And only 11.5lbs!

Image

Things I didn't take pictures of are: Insane Shaft 500hp axles and a set of 205/50/15 Nitto Neogens mounted on my ls webs for daily use.

And last but not least, just chillin' looking so nice......and then there's that water pump housing......lol.
