My Banzai feature

[stevenEK9]

Big shout to Steve McCann for the photos, go get yourself a copy!

Car made it onto the cover and is also the centre spread

Sadly due to a miss hap with the machining on the bores, the block has lost compression and i am now splitting the engine (

Not to be too dishartened, i am now K-swapping the car (how original i know). For me this is the best option rather than potentially spending another heap of money to rectify the block and new gaskets and such + trailering costs and tuning blah blah.

already secured some essential "upgrades" which will suit the k20 perfectly

Going to be stupid busy, still hoping to make the Nurburgring with the ferry leaving on the 11th of July

[KieranEG6]

Just bought this Today. Good read. Congrats on the feature.

Wonder if the guy with the B20 EK4 in on here?

 

[SPek9]

Awsome car and a great feature!!

Its a pity that you have had to split your B18 but it will be great to have a k20 in there as a replacement

6 speed gearbox will be A LOT better for your journey to the ring and the k20 is a great mordern alternative to a built B18. The bolt-on/mapping potential of the K20 is perfect

Congrats on the feature. Shame about the engine but it must be exciting to be moving onto a k20!
