We can do all the fabrication work, just not any of the electrical, tuning or any internal work.
For any of that, my personal recommendation would be Hi Power Racing - definitely seem to be the people to talk to regarding Honda's

You may be surprised at how much you can get out of the K20A's by natural aspiration.

But decide weather or not you want to spend the cash on having a reliable turbo Honda as it usually means forging.

Having said that Hipower Racing can do either or depending on you're budget, as they have recently seen a customer run high 11's in a street registered B series turbo EK, and they are building up a K powered CRX drag car.

It's generally young kids that have never driven a fast Honda that think they need a turbo to be cool.

Not always kids though.

yeah i don't have anything them against turbo'ing whatever honda engine they want in like an EG/EK/DC5 even, but like.. there aren't that many EP3R's here

I have never seen a turbo EP3R though I guess? I personally would go for a very aggressive ITB K20a if I had the moolah but I guess the FI route is okay too...
45SET
Have you looked into the costs of turboing a EP3? I know a DECENT ECU is going to set you back around $1700-$2000... not including tuning.

If I had the money sitting around to turbo my DC5R, I would look into doing a proper K24/20 build.

Have never driven, but have seen a few.

The one that comes to mind straight away is the 999/Top Fuel DC5R. Either th eperson driving didn't know how to drive it, or it just had way to much power, as it only had axel tramp.

But if your offering... I would love to be proven wrong.

For a bolt-on kit to achieve similar if not more power 200kwish atw?
Whilst still having potential for alot more i'd prefer the turbo variant.

There's 2 black K20-T in Brisbane as far as I'm aware.

Screw the turbo!

Timofytit on here and on OzHonda has his build up shown, NA 2.15L 4 DC5R pushing over 250kw at the wheels.

Currently doing 59sec at Lakeside and high 58sec at QR. Sounds sweet and has the power from start to finish. Go around hard corners in 5th and still pull out of them with power.
MoneyPower
He also has all Toda internals, and a build totalling the cost of 2 turbo setups.

250kw ATW? jesus fuck are you serious
51EKA
250KW? or hp?
45SET
250kw... that's about 70 more then the last time I spoke to him.
bucman
Now I am all confused, I actually think it is 200kw atw since Toda retuned it. So over 250hp atw.

Sorry, got all confused.

Yeah Money you are right it is all Toda gear in there. May have set him back a bit more then a turbo but that is only cause it is all the ducks nuts gear. Sure you could pick up the parts which are just as good cheaper with another brand name on them.

Either way under a minute at both tracks now. Cant beat it.

51EKA
Last dyno I can see was about 180kw~ 250hp~. Which is still hell of alot from an n/a 4cyl. Damn impressive.

Yes you can, he has gone about it one way but it is not the only way. As they say there is more than one way to skin a cat. It is a very impressive car though no denying that.

Lol what are u on about. He got it retuned a few weeks ago when adrian was in brisbane and gained an extra 5kw. Now it's around 190kw atw. Breaking 200 at the wheels in a n/a honda is bloody hard

This car is set-up for track racing so the suspension damper and spring rates are quite stiff. Generally FWD drag cars run softer settings at the front for better launching. Hence the bad tramping.

Also it makes over 300kw ATW, run 11's and 125+ mph. Traction is always going to be an issue.

He mentioned knowing a certain dc5r-t owner.

WAS THAT YOUR FAULT! ahahahhaa

Surprised the crap out of me mate, I was like, oh yeah. type R, ill do what needs to be done and go home tongue.gif Then all of a sudden we raced and you pulled a bonnet length on me through third haha. I missed 4th, but I dont think it would have mattered just quietly.

I am very impressed by your car. Top job dude.

What power/boost were you running when we had a run?
Sharpy
Mate in aus is building a turbo B18c (nearly finished, just bearings and clutch to go)

he made 200kw on ten psi on not finished tune (til they found out the old sleeves werent set properly and leaked)

he is looking for 280-300kw on pump fuel

(has better wheels now, a new lip, and canards)




His brother in NZ has a B16 bored to a 1.7L

makes 307kw on 20psi

Ah ok. I only assumed that the car would have been set up for drag racing as I remember Top Fuel had a crazy turbo EK9 ages ago, that was used mainly for drag racing.

Would love to see your car in action... or just in general really. Some decent engine mods are the type of thing I would like to do down the track. Would also like to see what kinda suspension/rims/tyres your using to get all your power to the ground.
