My first car was a punto but Fozzie Bear dat thing.
Second car was a Tahitian Green EJ9 that ended up like this, b18c4, then b16a2.

Lots of updates coming soon. Hope i didnt bore you.
 
Picked up a K20 ek to use the engine and box from and break the rest to get some money back in



Its not a JDM one, its just been painted white.
Money shot, the new lump.



And the update i have been waiting for my K-Tuned level 4 turn key swap with no cut shifter box and cables has arrived!

Big thanks to Scott at H-Tune for doing a 10% off deal when i was about to buy this, saved myself a cracking amount of £300






 
Will be following this, Scott at H-tune is spot on he done me a great deal on my kswap parts. The ep3 looks to tidy to break!!!
 
Thanks guys, might be a bit slow with the update as i need to get the K20 out the EP3 and get the rest of the oarts off and stored so i can scrap the shell and get more room to play.
 
Looks good! That shifter looks awesome! What do you think of the parts??

The quality of the parts looks awsome, and everything looks very well made, cant wait to get it fitted, just the wireing that worries me im not great with that.
 
Nice man looks to be a good one dont agree with k20 dc2s as b18c can make the same power with the right mods an money but its still cool and instant power i suppose

Yeah i havent had a K series yet but, and i dont intend to have it stay a k20 long term, lomg term meaning next christmas it should be a K24 :) 280bhp N/A hopefully :)
 
Nice one, all the best with it. Looking forward to the finished product.
 
This is hardly a worth while update but i bought a different steering wheel, when i bought the DC2 it had a cheap ebay dished wheel so got rid of that and fitted my Tanida Motorsport wheel i had in my 200sx.



But after fitting it whenever i walked by i thought it didnt look right in there, looked great and loved it in the 200, so at the same time as picking up the EP3 the lad said he had a OMP wheel he was going to fit before he crashed, so i grabbed that off him as soon as he showed me it.



I think it looks alot better in there than the Tanida Wheel.
 
Omp looks better. Love the teg plate! Wen u estimatin the k swap to be done? Good luck mate

Hopefully during the winter i will start her up for the first time, first drive wont be till a track day if i can get booked for Feb or March, the only thing holding me back at this point is space :( i have a ek4 and ep3 to break first :(
 
Nice swap and project for a DC2...
I like the OMP steering wheel and it's looks far better than Tanida one imo.
Do you make your k24/k20 just with bolts on or do you modify some elements to reach 280bhp? (internals, intake mani, tb....)
Good luck mate

Thanks mate i much prefer the omp aswell,think it may be slightly smaller, definately feels better.

The K24/K20 just bolted together makes about 230bhp so i am told but i will be going for wiseco pistons, acl bearings, arp headstuds, RBC intake manifold, bigger TB, DC5 cams. Then mapped on KPRO by Henry at Triple H, i should reach 280 with just the pistons and RBC after a map but going to go for DC5 cams while am there, could be a full 10-12 months away for k24 all the same as it wont be cheap.
 
Ok, some good mods should be done in the next months... ;)
With 280hp you'll need a LSD for sure :drive:

I think wiseco pistons will be high comp what is the cr you want to get?
I know dc5 cams are hard to find and overpriced I would like to have them for my daily ep3 too :x:. Stock k20a2 is already an impressive engine, I can't imagine the result with all those mods :drool:

I dont want to jynx it but i may have the lsd sorted already in the form of a DC5 box, i may also have a K24 lined up with acl race bearings, k20 head and oil pump, but that may just be a dream but hopefully not if i can sell my quad pronto.

I havent thought of the compression mate just being advised by Henry who is going to get the pistons and fit them and then map the car, i may even look into aftermarket cams then if the DC5 ones are hard to find :(
