LeAccord's 1997 EK4

Wait... Sorry for the off topic, but what happened to Emmanuel? Did he go to Europe, or he did Euro R conversion? The latter sounds more "unthinkable" according to rdxd.

Enjoy the K-swap project, Alex!

Picked up the motor with 90,000km (56,000 miles) on the clock.



Made my k20 loom look nice and neat.




Got my Hondata K-pro.


K swap driveshafts from Insane Shafts will arrive in 2 weeks. Order from hybrid racing, k-tuned and autofairhonda will be made next week.. just need to sort out shipping methods..

Still got a bunch of other stuff I need to purchase as well, but making good progress.

Hahaha, nah we were talking about his new car. He sold the accord and bought a blue 2004 BMW 330Ci IIRC.. Looks really beautiful though

The engine looks super mint, Alex! And it looks i-ntelligent, too lol.

Oh, so he is a Bimmer guy huh. No wonder why I don't see him around here. Let's convince him to make a thread over here for his coupe.

By the looks of the wiring, that's gunna be a real clean swap man.

I hope so man! It's not going to be the nearest of wiring and tucking but my main aim is to just get it started and running without any mishaps first, then I can start making it look pretty .. hehe.

So umm.. hey guys, been a while since I've been here and gave you guys an update but........ I've made a bunch of progress and walked into a dead stop because of my engine. Turns out my engine has no compression and now the wrecker that I bought it off is supplying me with a replacement engine fresh off a wreck which I will get to see, and hear start up before they take it out and deliver to me, next week. **** go I guess..

Can't really do much about the clearance.. The mounts have two heights you can bolt the motor into and I put it in the lowest height so I have hood clearance with the power steering pump and my fuel pressure regulator..

If I put it on the higher position on the mounts I'll gain about an extra inch of clearance but I'm not sure if my power steering pump and fpr will clear my hood, which will result in having to cut the skeleton of the hood.

Ooops I haven't updated this for a while .. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking..















JDM K20A. Safe/reliable tune pushing 152.5kw/198nm atw.

May retune it once I get a few things sorted out and maybe bigger cams a little later down the track. Hope to at least see 175kw afterwards.
