Chi's K20 Build Completed.. Pic Heavy!


Reading a full k20 swap in one post makes it seems so quick and easy. :(


Nice work mate

Took about 3-4 months in total..
No Thanks to USPS for sending my swap parts to Brazil !!! Then taking an extra 2 months to arrive!!!
As for was it easy? this is my first engine swap and i've never studied mechanics, i only do this as a hobby. the more research you do, the easier it becomes!
 
Mate you should crucify a dc5, my 9 had light mods and good remap and there was hardley anything in it when we tested the cars out.

I recently had a run with a stock DC5 and was on par with it. Cant wait to see what its capable of with a tune!
 
Looks like a good, methodical high quality build there, well done!

One question though. What's the benefit of that design of manifold? I have never seen anything quite like it before. Is it a brand copy/inspired design?

Yeah the manifold was inspired by the K-Tuned Ram Style Header, which is also a long runner tube header. Longer runners are known to give extra torque in the low-mid rpm range. K-Tuned has proven this design to deliver awesome power throughout the whole rpm range and majorly increasing the high end bhp. I Just hope this custom header will give me the same results!!:nerv:

Some effort put into that!!

Any reason you don't have datalogging? If you use the oem DC5 wideband then you should be able to utilise this!
 
Love this thread, simple and straight forward looking! this is gonna be inspiration for my build!! That manifold is outa this world, I'm gonna have to research the physics behind it.
