My K20a2 EG build up thread - TONS of pics!

Thanks guys for all the props. I met a few of you all very cool people :cheers: Look forward to meeting up with you all at the local meets :goodjob:

I can not thank each and everyone of you enough. The inspiration you guys gave me (us) is what got it done for the show. With that being said I will be posting pics of the past sessions putting her back together....

My father and I worked on the hatch 12-15 hours a day for several days. My brother SneezinCD5 joined us a few days before the show which gave us 10 hours of sleep in the 3 days before the show :cry: :blah:

Here are some pics from my bro SneezinCD5 (HT):

PS <> Never would of happened without my father's and both my brothers help. My father stayed at my house 11 days working 12+ hours a day on her with me. My younger bro SneezinCD5 came up 3 days before the show and put in over 40 hours in those days. My older brother traveled 6 hours one way to trailer the car down and then back from paint :up: Many thanks and so happy to see the hard work paid off for us all :goodjob: :cheers: :bump:

Yes, expect a real shoot within a month or two :camera: I am pretty decent with the camera so I'll most likely give it a shot first :crazy:

Thanks for looking :police:

First time I've seen my thread on page 2...... Up she goes :bannana:

Nice to see the finished product, great work. But after all that, I'm just wondering why you put white konigs on it. Why not works or something to set it off?

10.9lbs not good enough these days :cry:

I really like the look of the Heliums and they are definitely lighter than the average wheel. I still may go for a set of Spring CP-R's if I find a mint set. But, for now got other things to focus on.....

Ahh, it will do, but some sick wheels are well worth the weight added. :D

It's not a bad look, but some high quality wheels would do the car justice.

lovin' it man!... how come there were only 4 hondas?

BBR Competition wheels, google those, end wheel selection. If they made it with my lug pattern, i would have these. They're rare as hell. See the latest issue of Honda Tuning mag. you'll see why

Nope. This thread is far from over :bump: Still got a lot of cleaning up of the motor to do, depin and remove all the wiring I do not need, and quite a few small misc. things to do. Not to forget she is most likely getting boost early 2008 :yes: I'm hoping to do the work if it's a bolt on affair :yes: You know I'll be working the :camera: while all that is taking place now that the rush is over :cry:

I have also decided the past few sessions before the show will not be posted until the following is done:

-- CEL is resolved
-- Exhaust installed
-- Tuning is completed

It's depressing to have this car complete and just sitting in the garage. So getting her on the road is top priority at this time. I know you guys want a photoshoot and some vids of her in action, right? Won't happen until all 3 are complete so I know you understand :cheers:

Here is what my Kpro showed just a few minutes ago:

Code: 41-1 DTC: P1166 Heated Oxygen Sensor Sensor 1 (Primary HO2S)

Info on the car.....
Car: 1995 VX
ECU: 2003 K20a2 w/Kpro (kpro installed in August 07)
Wiring: Hybrid Racing Harness
Sensor: Brand New Denso OEM Oxygen Primary sensor

CEL comes on for 2 seconds when fuel pump primes then turns off. After about 4-5 seconds of running the car the CEL comes on and remains on.....

Diagnose Session 001:

Error code box enlarged:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...piccropped.jpg

Diagnose Session 002:

I went back to make sure OBD II was disabled

This menu remained as shown (shadowed) while car was running and being diagnosed:

Looks like the immobilizer is enabled :crook: I'm 99.99999% sure the immobilizer should be disabled :screwy:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...n002pic3cr.jpg

Start up (maybe running for 10 seconds):

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...n002pic1cr.jpg

Approximately 2 minute of running:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...n002pic2cr.jpg

Approximately 3-4 minutes of idling:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...n002pic5cr.jpg

I'm really new to this stuff so not really sure where the numbers should be. I believe I also recorded a datalog but not sure if I did it correctly. I clicked "Datalog" and then "Record". I did not see "STOP" so I just turned the car off. I'm going to watch the kpro software vids again and again and again...

Thanks for any help :police:

looks like you might be idling a little high, and may be running a little lean. Lambda should be up around 12, i think, but dont quote me. show that to Mike (Mr. KIDD) he should know

A+++

you definitely did your swap right. congrats on everything. :goodjob:

Well after trying to diagnose the problem with Hybrid Racing I pulled the wiring, ECU, O2 and it's in the mail to LA. With the relay being bad on the harness they want to trouleshoot the setup in their K powered EG. Hopefully I will have everything back by next Thursday so I can get the exhaust put on Friday. If that happens I'll be rippin' through i-vtec friday afternoon :yes:

I'm going to pass on the dyno tune and tune her from the laptop. No reason to fork out 2 hours of dyno time when I am going to boost her next year :bump:

I'll keep you guys posted :cheers:

Thanks again for the props :police:

damn nice.. now i know what you do a k swap... A+++++++

this shit is kick ass man keep up the good work hopefully when i get out of college i have the money to do as thorough a build up as you have on something

awesome car.... looked nice out there.. again.. nice pic with the 5w-30

hey man... congrats on the completion of the eg k swap. car looks amazing beautiful...

so how's it pullin? wish I could rep' ya again, but it wont let me.


EDIT: It did let me give ya that rep... :goodjob:
