3' stainless cat back tomorrow morning at 7:30, then off to get a tune by Adrian in the afternoon.
Using the following mods, the car is stupidly quick, and doesn't even feel like it's being pushed
- K20a2 tune by Adrian
- Toda headers
- Mugen Twin loop cat back (Which fouls on the chassis )
- Pod-on-a-pipe (Mugen Airbox doesn't fit any more )

Mods:
- K20 Oil pump
- Baffled sump
- 50' VTC
- RBC - Ported and honed to 70mm
- 70mm Throttle body
- Pod-on-a-pipe intake
- Toda headers
- 200cel cat
- 3' cat back
- Tuned by Adrian
Adrian did get it to 160kw, but there was some slight pinging, so he put it back to 156kw tune. This is the reason I get him to do ALL my tuning... because he tunes the car to be driven, not to make power.
Also, as you can see from the torque curve, it makes the same torque across the entire power band... so while you drive it, there is no major spike in power, just nice and smooth.

So much win right there mate, excellent work! I'd be so proud of that. Must be a lot of fun to drive.
How does it compare to the K20? And the what is it revving to, 7800 orso?

I am. And considering that I had a hand in part of the work, even if it was only cleaning parts, holding stuff or tightening bolts, I am proud of the fact that I can stand back, look at the car and say "I built that". It's very fun to drive. It's predictable, and you can put your foot down, in any gear, at any RPM, and it just pulls.
Comparing to the K20... The K20 didn't have anywhere near as much torque below 4k as the K24, and there was a big change in power delivery after 4k. The K24 just keeps pulling, it's really smooth. Yeah, rev limiter is set at 7800, but I try to shift at like 7500.

Awesome work man, love it. I think it deserves it's own thread! I want to see more!
There's no better feeling than doing the work yourself, that's for sure. It's satisfying as hell. I'm planning on doing this exact same swap except into an EG... Can only imagine how much fun it will be!
Keep it up mate, good to see it done and done properly
