Time to drop in the K20 The engine was dropped in from underneath the car. It went in fairly easily through it is pretty tight around the rear engine mount and had to remove the subframe brace as the gearbox was fouling. The black bar at the bottom was the brace that was removed Starting...

So much win!

Knowing that I was going to be running an oil cooler (19 row Mocal to be exact) the oil cooling jacket where the oil filter is situated on the back of the K20 would be coming off as the oil temperatures on track would just heat up the coolant. Maybe it might not increase the coolant temps by...

Yeah, those will get painted/powdercoated when I get a new set of coilovers...hopefully sometime this year if funds allow.

After the state my old shell was is, it was a must to prepare the underside of the car to prevent as much corrosion as possible. All surfaces were rubbed down, any surface rust (very little) removed before applying a generous coating of underseal. It is now immaculate underneath only with a...

Cheers man. I've still got a bit of writing up to do on this when I get the time. How your swap is going to well.

Again a very last minute decision was made to go on track last week. Literally the decision was made the night before and I still work to go to the next day! Cheeky half day and up to Knockhill for a 4 hour track night. The weather was looking good so it was a no brainer to go. My only...

So, moving the timeline forward again... A few mates were going up to Knockhill on Saturday to do a track day in the morning. A last minute decision was made to get myself booked on with the Teg to get some more seat time before the season is over. I would be heading up with Andrew Baird...

Upgrading a few thing to the engine and transmission along the way. A new clutch was required, OEM would have probably have done the job fine but I was upgrading the flywheel to something a bit lighter. So I ended up getting the ACT Prolite Flywheel (3.8kg) with ACT Stage-1 Organic Street...

Welded up, now to be smoothed, primed and painted... Primed... and painted in New Formula Red... I'm planning on doing the entire car in this colour, but the bay had to be done first for us to progress in getting the engine in the car.

I wasn't planning on doing this at all, but while we were preparing the shell it was time to get out the welder was wheeled out to weld up all those holes in the bay... Note that we welded on the offside engine mount to the chassis leg instead of bolting it through. Just to get it smoothed...

Hey dude, do you have any ZERG Industries bonnet dampers for a DC2 and a genuine blank Honda key in stock? If so, how much posed to Glasgow?

Well going back in time, I was looking for a new shell for the build after finding out my Type R was riddled with rust and decided to pull the plug on it. After looking around for months I finally found a clean shell with no rust. One thing though...it was a JDM SIR. I didn't care it wasn't a...

Looks awesome man. Who done the respray? Need to do the inside and outside of mine too

Well I've been pretty busy as of late and unfortunately neglected this thread...but all is good! That car is pretty much mechanically finished with the K-Swap and re-shell. No had much time to drive the car but I got onto Knockhill the other week with the Monster Unit guys. Only need to...

Right so what are people using as a coolant expansion bottle for their swaps? I'd expect a fair few people using something OEM from a EP3 or left over from their B-Series set-up. I'm running a DC5 Mishimoto radiator but looking for something with a better finish that a plastic bottle. Any...

haha don't be daft. You took some cool shots last time

I'll be up behind the camera and unfortunately not behind the wheel :(

I'm currently looking for a 70mm throttle body for my K20 which has a RRC bored to 70mm and a Karcepts adaptor plate. Anything available? Alternatively does anyone know where I can buy a S90 70mm throttle body?
