EK9 -> K20 swap

[Kurtknight]

Keep up the good work man! I have started my Kswap about 3 months before you have and you are already further ahead than I. Great progress thread! What size of belt are you gonna be running to accomodate the DC5 power steering pump and Jackson racing pulley? I think my build is pretty much the same as yours.

Thanks! That's the question I'll be able to answer in 3days lol I'm waiting on 4 belts and the pulley as soon as I get em I'll let you know. It's hard finding the answer to this since everyone's build is different and most remove a/c but keep p/s I'm keeping both.

If you are keeping p/s but no a/c the belt you'll need for the Z1/A crank is a 52"(5060520) belt if its an A2 you'll need 52.2"(5060523 this is just .1 longer will work) from what I've read online. Those are Dayco part numbers and they're 6rib belts I can't seem to find them in 7rib which would be Dayco 5070520 and 5070522 guess they don't make them in those lengths for 7rib.

Ok guys I am back with parts!

This is the dining room table of a tuner!

So lets go through em!

RBC Intake Manifold

Skunk2 Pro Series TB

Gaskets Hybrid plate

AEM 30-6030 Series 2

Honda stuff, tie rods, ball joints, clips, boots, etc

Belts to try with the Jackson Racing p/s pulley hopefully one works! I've got the pulley somewhere gotta find it in luggage!

What's a marriage without a ring!

 

[Kurtknight]

Found the pulley and 05-06 -> 02-04 conversion harness!

 

[Kurtknight]

Like I mentioned above what's a marriage without a ring, I hope she's good to me

Thanks for the screw Hybrid!

Here's a quick comparison between the Jackson Racing and the OEM pulley, what you're seeing is approximately a 1/2" difference between the 2 I couldn't find my ruler.

 

[Kurtknight]

Ok so I think I've got it figured out, as most of you know I'm going to be running both p/s and a/c.

Inorder to have the p/s pulley clear the hood(grey area) after removing THIS(white section) under the hood:

OEM pulley touches a bit here's the OEM pulley:

Jackson Racing pulley I've read is a bit smaller and clears here's a pic of that pulley:

Approximately .5" difference between between the 2 p/s pulleys, Jackson Racing pulley and OEM pulley:

Installed:

Belt you'll need for p/s and a/c on a Z1/A crank pulley:

So! The OEM belt is 67"(5070670), the belt you'll need to run the Jackson Racing pulley, maintaining p/s as well as a/c on a Z1/A crank pulley is a Dayco 5070656. That kinda makes sense to me too because the OEM p/s pulley like I mentioned above is approximately .5" bigger so we go shorter with the belt by .5" so the pulley size difference is cancelled and we're allowed 1" play so we can get the belt on the tensioner.

I hope that wasn't too confusing! I kinda confused MYSELF

I love the feeling of getting new parts.

Be gone ole heathen!

Awww how nice Skunk2 gives you bolts!

And a nice gasket too!

Mounted!

Assembled

Now time to modify the RBC!

Gotta port it!

Aluminum will fly everywhere, I've already got MS last thing I want is lung cancer lol
