K20 Take Down Last week i raced my buddy's N/A K20-Swapped Honda Accord hatchback. We went from 1st gear at about 25-30. I immediately jumped about half a car by 2nd gear. Throughout 2nd and 3rd gear i barely pulled another quarter car, and threw a code haha. By the time we shut down somewhere around 130 (all i know is i had just started 5th gear) all i had gained was a car length, maybe a little more. We both had one passenger with us, and i was content with the results. I know those K-series motors haul some major *** haha

Thanks 
My mods at the time were: Brand new BFG G-Force Sport Tires, 140k miles, Whisper Lid, Smooth Bellows, 85mm MAF, Koni Single Adjustable Front Shocks, Bilstein Non-Adjustable Rear Shocks, Thicker Front and Rear Sway Bars, B&M Short Shifter, Centerforce Stage 2 Clutch, Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel, and a Loud Mouth 1 Cat-Back.
Since then: Pacesetter Race LT's, TSP ORY, Removed A/C Belt, Removed EGR, Removed AIR, and Dyno Tune.
However, at the dyno tune my car was running so lean the people told me the only reason my engine hadn't melted a piston was that it wasn't getting enough fuel to heat up enough....So they wouldn't do a full run, and i was left guessing with 340 ft lbs of torque, and an estimated 350-360rwhp. And i'm now waiting for my new Walbro 255 fuel pump to arrive haha

I'm looking at pics, and it must have been a civic hatch. However, when i raced his other civic hatchback with a b16 swap, he said just wait till i get my other hatch out here. And on other occasions right after that, he'd say...wait till you race my accord. So i assumed it was a honda accord hatch, as well as thinking i saw ACCORD on the back of it...but idk could be going crazy!

I dont see why your stock fuel cant hang. Youre basically stock. Isnt part of a tune to "tune" it so its not lean or did you just do a regular dyno run? Youre still gonna have to tune for the new pump but at least youll already have one for when you get some engine mods. Sounds like a stout car though. Good luck.

A K-swapped Civic is a badass car. Pretty much the wet dream of every Honda fanboi.
Not especially fast without a lot of work done, but respectable and VERY fun to drive (if you like turning corners).
Cool swapped Civic:

But the B16 and gutted is not fast by any means unless its got way more mods.
I know cause i had one or two like that back in the day. Good times.
