NEW PARTS PURCHASED : EVERYDAY

Hello K20a.org this is the 1st time I have ever created a build thread, not just on K20a.org but on any website.

Currently the purpose of this build is to get as many miles out of this engine and tranny, providing I add some love into the build. It will be going to my daughter soon. I am REPLACING the Timing System, Oil System, most Mechanical Systems, Gaskets, O-Rings, Bolts, Valvetrain Assembly, and UPGRADING Camshafts, Bolt-Ons, Fuel System, Cooling System, Exhaust System, and Engine Management.

I am slowly reworking the exterior and so far I have ordered a INGS front lip, PCI 4" side skirts, and I have not decided on a rear lip. I need to replace the rear bumper because some douche bag did a hit and run bang up job on me, not crazy damage. I would like to see the new front lip and side skirts installed to get an idea what would line up best with the PCI side skirts. I really like the oem 2002-2004 Type R rear lip, it just looks best.

I am big on oem parts. I am big on mechanical upgrades. My love for road course racing developed in the early 2000's when I got involved in SCAA/NASA schooling (Hyperfest Weekends).

Brother I am getting the pics up slowly. Things are going to take off fast, I have a 400A Miller gasoline welder/generator coming over to play with and power my 200A Tig welder. I will be able to weld complete all of my aluminum parts and SS parts.

9/26/20 Progress

Today I am working with my extra PRB head. I have been using it for practicing porting and polishing and learning the apex's and concave pockets of the intake and exhaust ports. I am planning to hand PNP the PRB I am using in this build. My intentions are not to wildly bore the ports, I want to mildly accent the existing ports by hand and some machine. My goals are to do better than the RSP head and still keep a strong baseline platform. I want to see the difference the modified RBC IM makes, improve the intake and exhaust ports some, supply a lot of air from a ram air system, and keep the Z1 (PRC) cams. I am not after huge gains from the jump, keeping velocity while making cfm gains is my goal. I am more interested in seeing how well all of the intake and exhaust improvements work together that I have designed.

That won't fly. What thermal IMG do you have?

See this is where having the plenum off of the RBC IM would work to your advantage. You could bolt it up with the IMG and see how the bolt play works out before going any further. And be able to get a good mock up.

Looks good. I have a couple no name thermal gaskets, one for tsx and one for rsx. I checked the prb gasket against the rbc ports and there wasn’t quite as much leftover but still not a perfect match. I have a friend who’s skilled in these areas, but I’m not sure what the cost would be vs attempting my own matching up. But I would like the incoming air to have a proper path from throttle body to the valves.

I am not into extreme polishing when it comes to working on these manifolds. As far as blending for smoothness down the runner's path, yes I blend smoothly and I don't worry about polishing away the working marks completely. I aim to keep as much wall thickness, which is something I consistently check during the work.

The goal is this weekend is to finish mock up on the parts I am making that will go into the engine bay. Finalize the bracing brackets for the parts by using the existing stock locations already given to me. I am creating my own ram air filter box out of aluminum and carbon fiber and I will admit it is one of the dominant engine bay parts. To me Honda utilized a good spot in the engine bay to make their airbox assembly. I am going to continue with Honda's idea but change the function and plumbing of the airbox.

The top of the airbox will be feed by a ram air scoop assembly fabricated into the hood. The bottom of the airbox will be feed from duct work coming from the front of the car. The airbox inside of the engine bay will be protected from heatsoak and engine bay temps. The velocity stack will not be flush fit on the inside of the airbox, I thought that would be neat, but it would change the dynamics of the intake. The velocity stack will have a filter. For right now the intake pipe will go into the airbox and at the walls a rubber sleeve will seal and protect the intake pipe from vibrating against the airbox's outer walls.

I will be pulling the engine out of the car after I am done with the engine bay part mock up, make the bracketing work, and complete the parts and check their install. I will be pulling the engine and transmission out after this. Since I am going with a SpeedFactory tucked radiator, I have already drained the oem radiator and removed it. This will make pulling the engine and transmission out easy. Once the engine is out I can begin working on the engine bay.

What is going to happen in the engine bay..... :

  • stitch welding
  • engine mount reinforcement
  • SpeedFactory Radiator Test Fit
  • Upper strut tower reinforcement
  • Upper strut tower bar
  • subframe reinforcement welds
  • clutch reservoir relocation
  • clutch line upgrade install
  • K-Tuned Adj. Inner Tie Rods
  • Start Working an Alternator Relocation Kit
  • Clean Up Engine Harness
  • Clean Up Radiator Wire Harness
  • Clean Up Alternator, Starter, Batter, and Fuse Box Harnesses
  • cleaning and painting

This is the aluminum tubing I am going to fabricate a valvecover breather box from. 6061 Aluminum tube 4" x 2". This piece is ruffly 2ft. I will be using just a section of it. This pic is just to show the material and how some of the fittings will look.

I picked this up today.

This new one won't fix in the toy box. This little bad boy will do SS exhaust by tig, mig, or fluxcore. It will do all carbon steel and steel stitch welding by mig or fluxcore. It will even do small aluminum jobs with a wire spool gun.

I also got a new gas tank for 75/25 gas for fluxcore
