Amazing work guys, can't wait to see the final product, the front view with the wide stance is killer, can't wait to see a time attack session against FXMD, that would be awesome.

The motor and turbo progress began today... and we did have something cool planned with the intake manifold... Reverse the inlet direction without loosing the stock angled inlet on the cast flange... oh yeah... and the OEM cast velocity stocks found inside the plentum... lol Not all K-series motors have the same intake manifold... but they all do have the same intake flange...
So since every honda since 2002 has this motor... there may have been some models offered that needed more torque down low... and maybe Honda put velocity stacks in there intake manifold to get it... but this is all just a big "maybe" :smile:
Stock intake
Modified intake
our intake plentum will actually sit opposite of the stock location... on top.. allowing the throttle body to be mounted grabbing air above.

Ross,
your build is amazing, i am at work right now (just got off the phone with you) but i am going to go over this with a fine toothed comb when i get home. I can't wait to see this on track.
keep the shiny side up until then!

We did something super cool when we built the FXMD NSX Cage using a special CF material when it was here earlier this year... were gonna take things to a whole new level on this car
and we made a cool custom FSTB race version for a customer....

Ross,
This car is going to be TOUGH!
Looking at your pics ... my little eye saw something that others may not have seen and you do not have tell us until the car is done ... but it looks like the height of the car is much lower. Almost like you chopped and lowered the roof?
I noticed this from the height of he snorkle and in comparison to the red/yellow NSX in the back ground.
Being lower will this more areo and again ... weight saving. This car is going to be KILLER.
Need to find a major sponsor!!!!

Ross you guys are doing fantastic work however you may want to look into using the k24 instead. There is a reason why all of the RealTime car use it and not the k20, realiability.
Keep up pushing the envelope and let us know what the final weight of the car is!!!

Nice catch...
The realtime team uses the extra displacement of the k24 to muscle the heavy RSX around NA.
With the smaller bottom end... we are able to control our powerband on the turbo and keep the revs high with the k-pro...
I cant tell you weight until the superlap battle event in Novemeber... I just need to sell a few odds and ends to finish what the car needs... it could be a historical event if I can make it to testing in 45 days.
Givin you 5... hitin it around to the backside of the hand... followed by a knuckle pound... then blow it up,
I know the weight. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

-K swap fully built and boosted, I already have an aem ems so probably go that route instead.
