Crap....I'm back
#61
man my shit doesn't even run again it seems to get fuel and has spark, so I have been trying to figure out a way to test the crank sensor.
#63
I did have to make 2 of the holes on the passenger side mounts slightly bigger to fit my mounting bolts through, but over all it was pretty much plug and play so to speak.

I really love that you are getting this done Cocowheat! I feel like I am at a bit of a disadvantage with my car for not having done the swap my self. When I do run into issues its a real struggle for me, but I am trying to learn. Hopefully this summer we will be at the same place at the same time with our cars. I look forward to seeing it in person.

That's good news Cocowheat. I'm still a little concerned about the much tighter bay of the JDM model, but looking at how the engine sits, it might not be that big of a deal. Also I need to verify the part numbers of the US and J models of the stock mounts to see if there are differences between the L and RHD models.

I might just keep my front end now though, seeing as how it's actually rarer to see a K20 USDM GE8 then it is to see one with a JDM front.
If you need USDM part numbers though let me know and I'll pull them or you.

Was going to work on the car more today, but I ended up waking up really late. By the time I got to my buddies house I only had an hour and a half, so all we did was dropped the passenger side mount so we had enough clearence to change out the spark plug to NGK laser iridiums.
Also installed my new OE aluminum oil pan along with the Clockwise motion road racing oil pan baffle. No oil starvation for this guy during the corners!
Also, that bung that's wielded and capped, I wonder what it's for? Maybe for something bigger down the road? Maybe DSM would know. Lol

Good call on the baffling, my old DC5R I developed rod knock the day after I swapped the stock springs to SWIFT springs and did a gymkhana event, it was generating that much more grip. Engine was covered under warranty by Honda and I picked up a new baffled pan from Prototype Racing.
Get this done already. Want some video action of it handing ass beatings to other cars. Is Brainerd pretty much your choice of circuit or do you have others in a reasonable distance to play on?

And you don't need a k20 to hand out ass beatings. Lol proudly I can say I did a pretty good job at that with an L15 and Nitto NT01.
Excuse the wind noise, and my lack of line consistency. I'm working on it. This was the end of last season.

Road America is fairly close also, but it'll be my first time there this up coming June. Honda and real time racing will be there also along with other well known groups like king motor sports so should be fun, but mainly it's brainerd, cause it closer.

Yeah, clockwise motion oil baffle, and my wavetrac LSD were both on the "essential road racing" list.
