is there a stock mph speedo showing 180?
Mine was converted to MPH.

But how fast your getting to a particular speed normally determines how quickly you will travel a certain distance.
ok so just because your tach climbs faster doesnt mean that its actually happening. i dont understand what your trying to argue that your car accelerates fatser than a k swap?
Argueing? Im discussing, exactly what this forum is for.
Im not claiming anything, and im not saying the tacho climbs faster, im saying the speedo climbs faster/if not very similar which is a good enough indication of how quick a car is. Its always been a good comparison amongst cars and always proved to be fairly accurate. I mean timing from 1 speed to another.
A car that is supposed to be 100BHP more on the same shell that is pathetic. If my car was running another 100BHP on a N/A set up teh speedo would shoot up alot quicker then now! Fact, as the car would be accelerating faster.
Im not impressed with that at all for what its made to be. In fact i will almost bet my months wage that is not 300BHP. I would expect that from a stock K20.
sorry i use the word argue but i really do mean discuss didnt mean any offense. the way your trying to compare is stupid. go look up some time slips people have for 1/4 mile racing. compare a 200whp b18c in a ek and a k20a in a ek's time slips. the k is gonna reach the 1/8 mile faster with a higher trap speed. i know for fact cause i have owned both! my k swap use to eat any b swap unless we were close in power range. your probably not impressed by them cause u never been in one. after u drive one you"ll change your mind real fast. dont compare how fast your speedo climbs in your car to someone elses that just silly.
Because the EKK1 places the motor too low and too far forward, you will experience axles binding and maybe snapping depending on how low you dump the car.
This is not a well engineered option, but the EKK2 is better in that regard because it enables you to put the motor in a better position and also slightly higher so it helps those who intend to drive it on the street.
Full out race teams will opt for dry sump enabling them to put the motor almost exactly to the point where the axles are straight and true.
i tried using hasport k swap axles cause they were fairly priced those were the biggest pieces of garbage. i had to get a set of oem dc5 and a set of ek9 size axles and mix the 2 together.
edit- also if u want your shifter box to fit under your stock center console your gonna need the karcepts shifter kit.
Great points! I'm gonna keep this in mind incase I run into them. What exactly happended with the hasport axles?
Ek9dan: I think your back to where you were with the B16B vs B18C. That k20 video was pretty bad compared to what Ive been in. The difference between jdm k20a vs B18C is exactly like B16B vs B18C in your experience.
when you say stock what do you mean?
My speedo is of my B18CR running 176WHP with just header/exhaust/flyweel. Pretty much stock engine.
I know what you mean but the power through the gear doesnt look any faster. And with that much more power stated and on a much superior engine you would see the major difference.
