Bring back drag racing! - BYP DC2 OEM K20/K24 12.6 @ 108mph * New PB

[Benson]

Well its been years when we had the era of quick drag cars. Many has diversify into time attack and circuit racing. I think its time to bring Honda's back into drag racing!

So we acquired a DC2 (VTI-R) chassis for this purpose. It's probably not the lightest chassis to start off with, but the car will be a use for daily duties as well so it will need to look the part.

The choice of power-plant is a K20/K24 combination. This is mated to a 6 speed Honda Accord Euro transmission which is supported by the new hasport engine mounts. I believe this is amongst the first of a few accord euro gearbox's to be used.

Spec List -

2004 Accord Bottom end (Stock)
K20a2 Head (Stock)
6 Speed Accord Euro Gearbox
K20 Oil Pump upgrade
RBC manifold (Port Matched)
S90 70mm Throttle Body
ASP 4-1 Big Tube Headers with Megaphone + Liverpool Exhaust 3inch System
Hondata Kpro - Road tuned by me (BYP)

Estimated car output - 155 - 160kw ~

We had the opportunity to take the car out last week to the local drag strip. Car was equipped with 15inch slicks. Car weight - 1130kg with driver

Best run of the night -

60ft 1.861
1/8 8.281

1/4 12.794
MPH 108

There is more to come with this set-up. Car had issues with the speed sensor. Once we get that sorted, the 60ft times should start dropping

Overall, pretty pleased with the result. This motor is now moving onto a new owner and we'll be building a new motor with slightly higher compression

Stay tuned for further updates
