The car originally had a b16a and the inlet manifold was very close to the firewall. We had problems as the engine twisted (broke) the rear mount frequently. The dents are a result of this and the numerous times the engine had to come out to fix the problem.
Hella impressive...look forward to seeing more of this
Hey jase, its miki here
Did you get to take the civic out for a drive yet? Should be almost done right?
Check out this ek with k20...good parts suppliers...

Hey Miki.. everything is out of the engine bay at the moment as it is in the process of being resprayed (firewall has been smoothed and painted with primer so far). Only parts we are waiting on now is Hondata (which should arrive today) and fabrication of the exhaust! Don't worry once it's ready I'll take you for a spin! :D
Damn thats going to be crazy, 2L in a 700kg shell
some bodies gonna get hurt
This car will be damn quick... I can't wait to see it go.
UPDATE: Engine bay has been sprayed and the motor is back in. Wiring is underway. The whole car has been prepared for the respray in mazda velocity red, which will happen tomorrow night. Then it's off to get the custom extractors and exhaust made and fitted, on Friday, which will hopefully be done by Wednesday. By that time hopefully the driveshafts will have arrived. Then all that will be left is tuning :D
Heres a pic of the 99% finished engine bay!!!! Enjoy...

That looks great jase...looks very very schmick...i know your happy with it...i can tell...lol
Allright everyone this should be the last update before we race it which will hopefully be next Wednesdays Test n Tune.
Engine if fully wired up and has been fired and runs fine shooting four nice flames outside the exhausts ports! :D
Exhaust is started and will be finished this Wednesday and driveshafts should arrive next Monday so everything is comming together very nicely.
I'm curious as to what you guys think it will do down the quarter??? I have my own estimations as to what it will do based on previous all motor performances but I just don't want to spit out any numbers :p

I would have no idea what this this would run on the 1/4 mile, but damn i would love to see it run.
very tidy mate, let us know how she goes! really good to see more allmtr cars representing n/a hondas in the drag scene!! wooo
low 13's first run ? Woudl be nice ehehe :)
Great work. Just curious if you had to get an engineered cert at all? or is it still within the range where you don't need to?
If you did, can you recommend the place where you got it done? I need to go down that route very soon.
Cheers.
You do realise he is from Queensland, don't you?
that car will be straight into the elevens with proper tyres and suspension...
engine bay looks great!!!
looooove the colour too! :cool:
well done on such a professional 'backyard' job :thumbsup:
car looks awesome. im guessing it would pull mid-high 12's. some guys in the US manage to pull 13.2 on street tyres, stock engine. Your car is alot lighter so hopefullly alot faster aswell. Good luck with your run!
Car is running, but the driveshafts haven't turned up yet. Were sent Friday afternoon on an overnight service from Sydney. Chances of making it to the track tonight are slim unless they turn up this morning.
driveshafts turn up?? if not, let us know wen ur heading out next i'll try and head out so i can watch u hav a run! im thinkin if u can put power to the floor u should be looking around mid 12's.. lets hope for that! or better!
nic :thumbsup:
fark, tracking it already!! dont u need to let the new system run in!
Update: Got the driveshafts today, everything is now fitted up.
Car will be dynoed tomorrow and hopefully will pull a good number.
Even if the car was drivable the Test n Tune was cancelled at willowbank because of rain so it didn't matter.
All that matters now is that the car is ready for Mini-Jam and that I can drive the car properly. Me thinks it's going to be a little harder to drive with a solid centre, full faced clutch and a new hydraulic setup :p
Last weekend was the start of Auto Salon 2006 in Sydney. Dyno Comp N.A. Category won by an EG equiped with K20A fully stock, just extractor and KNN Filter, 137Kw, as i have been told.
Come on guys, he got 13.4 with a stock b16 in that car. It's gotta do better than that with a k20 in it. Would be very dissapointing if it didn't.
It was JDM k20a ,DC sports header and custom intake with k&nQuote:

Will keep you posted on a final number!
sweety man, plenty of headroom there...
BTW - what is the thing on the front LHS of the engine bay? near whare the fuel rail line runs?
dam! almost 180hp! that is insane!
and in a 700kg box lol
easy 12's! good luck at mini-jam, might come watch..
did u run at mini jam? just wondering how u went if u did!
nic
He didnt get to run, the cv's blew...
He'll update when he gets on here...
Sad really :(
Gotta be one of the fastest hondas in brisbane.. SUper honda :) easy 12s.. considering his b16 did mid 13s.. this lil beast gonna suprise some Holdens and fords
Car has had a few problems including a blown CV on Friday afternoon then on Saturday morning driving to Mini Jam, the rear engine mount snapped. Mounts are getting modified and fixed up soon.
ah thats no good.. ah well these things are expected in the first few trials of something like this. Bad luck though, will be good to see wen u get it back on the road!
nic
nice setup
OMG :P well hopefuly will be done soon to run, good luck mate :honda: honda POWAH :honda:Quote:

Well it's been a long road but the car is finally back on the road with the engine mounts sorted!!! We're going to debut it at a Willowbank Test n Tune next Wednesday. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
bring it on man!
best of luck this time around :thumbsup:
which wednesday man, let me know i wanna come test out my new car too.
Wednesday the 3rd of May. Hope to see you out there Barefoot.
Jase...what happened...did the car run awesome times? Did it make it out to the track in one piece? Id send you a message...but its 10.30...too late...im going to bed...lol...
Just did a 12.96 @ 110.38mph on the first and only run!
Car was launched a too high a revs and exhaust manifold fell apart in first gear (bolts loosened off at slip joints).
Second run we lowered the revs and tyre pressurses and snapped a CV on the start line by the looks of things. Anyway the car was towed from the track.
We're very happy with the mph and things can only get better from here!
I will try to post up the video of the run even though it is very crappy quality (it was done on a digital still camera)
sweet this thing falls apart cause of to much powah :p good stuff. me thinks you could get into high to low 11's :)
Here's the link to the crappy video. Note the sound of the exhaust as the exhaust maniold falls apart

Saw the car run tonight ! wat a beast..
Man that thing was loud. Crazy looking too.
Well done man, good MPH.. look forward to seeing it run in the flesh
sweet as jase...thats an awesome time...and awesome mph...can't wait to see it on the road!! haha
Who are you going to have fix it this time?
My brother Jason is using the GnJ Racing username for future reference and not my username from now on. GRP is fixing the car. Mounts need a bit more work too.
damn that is loud! sounds tuff as....... bet u surprised a few ppl! didnt look very busy out there last night.. anyway, well done on the run, atleast u broke the 12 sec bracket! will be good to some better times with a bit of trial and error.. congrats
nic :thumbsup:
damn thats a great time for street tyres and a bad launch. Imagine it with slicks and a perfect launch!
Bad luck on the CV snap :(
Went to the track again and broke another one...this time passenger side. We're using the local driveline services (I think) Cv's. Now we're upgrading to OEM Honda cv's which are four times the price, so hopefully they won't break. Taking it back next wednesday ready for compak attack!

Third time big burnout and launch and this time broke the inner cv! When will we get some luck? Getting it fixed for Compak. Looks like I'm going to be babying it the whole meet!
DynoDave: Thanks mate, should be alright. Might get in touch with you and the Online boys before friday!
tinkerbell: Yeah hope to see you there!
Awesome news, congrats boys.. great MPH.. can't wait to see it..Quote:

thats a sweet time. Good luck at compak, hopefully your car will run even better!
damn thats awesome to see! they'll hav to look out for u at compak! good luck! the records are urs!
nic :thumbsup:
Bad news. We broke the passenger driveshaft near the inner cv, not the cv itself. No more spare for this weekend at Compac Attack. :(
NoOO thats gay as. Just put a stick in there for the time being =D
nice work and congrats guys.
hopefully you'll have some better luck with the joints though.
keep up the good work..
Just came back from Compak Attack. Ran a personal best of 12.60 @ 111.72mph. Still no burnout or launch... just slipping the clutch out at 2000rpm. Still a lot more to sort out.
A big thanks to Jim, Deni and Dave for all their help and advise!! Congrats on your new PB and Australasian ALL MOTOR record!!!
awesome achievement boys, glad to see you make the trek with both cars.. once you sort out a few of the bugs i'm sure the car will be a 11 second car all day long.. keep up the good work..Quote:

Well done, i absolutly love it
Can u show us the pics of the new engine mount??
where and when are you guys racing next? would love to see it. Might bring dc2 along for a race haha i lose.
Sorry just realised your in bris. When will you be racing at syd next???
Congrats on the awsome time...
Can I ask what fuel you are using? ie. do you need to add aN octane booster for JDM K20's?
Next time in Sydney will be in November for ANDRA Drag Wars. Next meet we will be at is Jamboree in September, Not too far away.
The fuel we're using is top secret! Nah just kidding.... we're using 98 octane pump fuel, tuned with K-Pro.:thumbsup:
Just awesome build, you guys have done a truely great job. The hits this gets from 3g owners on YouTube you wouldn't believe. Gotta be the coolest 3rd gen on the planet right now. 3g FTW:thumbsup:
Any news on the CV/driveshaft issues? It would be great too see what time she'd do running on R888's if the driveline would hold.
whats happening with this of late?
This one?
