Noob here (well kinda) - K20A2 Powered 94 Civic EX Coupe With Pictures
 

Whats up everyone?? My name is Jay and I am ready to build a HMT kit for my K20A2 powered 94 Civic EX Coupe that I swapped myself (I have done over 7 swaps) I am only a noob to building a turbo kit. I just need to know what would be a good turbo to start off with. I thought about using a GT35R turbo boosting at 10 daily and 20 at the track. I also want to run 9.5:1 compression ratio with Golden Eagle Sleeves capable of up to 70 PSI, ARP Studded Block and not to sure about piston and rods yet. This is why I am here and my friend told me about HomeMadeTurbo.com and I have been checking out this site for a few days now.....I love it and seems to be ALOT of useful infomation here and pretty cool people with alot of great ideas that love to turbo ANYTHING. I used to be a N/A guy and ever since I sold my 2004 SRT-4 and rode/drove my friends Turbo D16A1 86 CRX I have been hooked on boost.

Scroll down for pictures.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

lol, you don't make any sense.

you were an NA guy, but you had an SRT-4, which is a turbo car...and you had to get rid of it and get in a boosted CRX to get addicted to it? crack kills.

neons are gay.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

oh you must have had the special non-turbo SRT-4 version... They were in super low production rates... low as in 0

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

whats up man, yeah anyways youve allways had na cars other than the srt4 so its gonna be fun havieng something with an aftermarket turbo.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

Alright I used to have a SRT-4 then I sold it and ever since I got rid of it I have missed having a turbo then riding/driving my friends Turbocharged D16A1 86 CRX the craving has returned. So since I didn't know much about turbocharging a non turbo motor I tried to go N/A and I was kicking ass for awhile 12.9 @ 109 mph but I am getting my ass handed to me by turbocharged cars and I am tired of it.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

well, i guess at least you realized that NA is the suckass to end all ass sucking.

post some pictures of this k20 civic, cause this thread sucks otherwise.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

Well at least you got the disease called all motor cured.Pictures of your ride,girlfriend,mother,sister mandatory.GT35R and a K20 should work quite nice together.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

post pics or this thread is worthless. include some of your g/f / wife is she's hot.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

70 psi eh? Do it!

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

welcome to HMT, now post porn

ooh and no one cares about your life history with cars, ooh 7 swaps whoopie, i ---- 3 times in one day before, but thats still irrelivent information

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

i think you should post pics of your ----, but seriously, who the ---- turbo's a k? don't do it, they don't like it

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

70 psi?
what are u running a [Joseph Davis]holset[/Joseph Davis] :1

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA i like it when people are so oblivious. its pritty simple... the more your motor flows NA the more boost you can cram in there.

the reason everyone pussies out on the turbocharged k20 is the high compression ratio. that and there arnt to many people with them. ---- the only k20 turbo around here is this guy in valdosta with a k20 rsx and i heard hes pushin 350whp on a stock motor.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

id like to see pics of this k20 powered 94 also. You dont see that very often. Somebody was around with a K20 or a K24 powered hatch with bolt ons running 12s na... if you could do that and boost it that car should be a giant killer.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

The only turbo K I've seen was an RSX Type S with a GReddy kit.. and he popped the motor

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

you may want to consider also checking out http://www.k20a.org/forum since there are quite a few guys on there pushing their stock rsx type-s to around 400-500whp with K-Pro. Most of those guys are using kits, but check out what the kits got to offer and then give it the homemadeturbo treatment to make it better and cheaper for you.

You can skimp out on cheaper intercooler pipings, intercooler, turbo, etc... one this is DO NOT skimp out on a good fuel management system--too much $$$ into that k20 already.

Good luck and post pics!

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

lol. this guy is full of ----, kthx

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

Well these were taken when I first finished the swap (6 months ago) and now I have the 06 Si Intake and it is alot cleaner now and hid alot of wires. The car is almost 100% sleeper now with 02 Civic EX hubcaps and Kumho Ecsta ASX 205/50/R15 tires. I will take some more pics as soon as I find my digital camera. Yea I have Hondata K-Pro.

Yea Random Hero I am full of ----....... :6

k20's are for bitches

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

with money to spend

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

car looks good. speaking of bitches, how expensive and tough was that swap and how fast is the car now?

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

lmao, keep reving that thing past 8500 Everyone that builds those knows the k20 pumps are not good past 8500 (stock bearly past 8200) cam oiling is also ----. Modded s2000 pumps are the way to go. also you should do the -4 fitting and tap the oil rail for more oil to the cam caps so it doesnt end up eating your cam away on #5.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

Yea other people say that too......until they can afford to do the swap. Stop hating just b/c you don't have one or can afford it. Bitch
__________________________________________________ _______________

Random Hero I am only reving to 8600 RPM it just looks alot higher due to the tach being off a little reving that high. When I go turbo I will only rev to 8200.

Answering your question accordepicenter

Well it was about $6500 to $7500 total cost (can't quite remember) and the hardest part was the wiring and getting the K-Series wiring harness through the firewall. The biggest bitch was waiting for all the parts to arrive.

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

untrue I could fund a swap right now like ---- all. Its just you can make way more power for way less and have way less headaches with a b series in that car. You will find out when you go for boost. I wouldn't convert my eg from the b to a k if you did it for free and I got to keep my b. Not hating just laying it out for you. ;)

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - 94 Civic EX Coupe w/K20A2
 

Sorry it just seemed like alot of people were attacking me just b/c I am a noob here. I am not a noob to cars or to Honda. I am a Honda Service Technician and worked at a dealership for over 1 1/2 years. I am also a moderator over at SuperHonda. I am a nice guy and just trying to get the right info for what I am trying to do and I think this is a GREAT site to get it. Just want to do something different where I live b/c it seems alot of people here (my town) are scared of F/I and it took my friend Sean (rexsk8er) to show me how easy everything could be done. I mean he took a 86 CRX with a D16A1 (stock) and built a homemade turbo kit and his car will kick 90% of the cars asses around my town. I have a K and I want to turbocharge it......It will make more power and it will be faster. I am ready for these headaches. If I do it right the first time (which is why I am here) alot of these headaches can be avoided.

That's how we roll. ;) If Jesus Christ signed up here and made a thread like this we'd flame his punk ass, too. :6 We don't discriminate.

Nice car......punk bitch. :P

It is always nice to see somebody do something different for a HMT system, just because its not the way I would do it or the easiest doesn't make it wrong so good luck on it. Remember though k20's are for bitches and HMT owns you ;)

Yeah, but you sold it for that truck of yours, you wanker :-*

Re: Noob here (well kinda) - K20A2 Powered 94 Civic EX Coupe With Pictures
 

Nice swap. K's are nice, I don't care what people say about them. The price is crazy, but its a great swap. If I can ever get mine fixed, I am definitley going to turbo it soon.

Good luck with the project.. I don't have much info other than it wouldn't be a bad idea to check out www.k20a.org
