anyone following up on this? looks pretty neat!
hmmm…tell me more?
how can you tell from those 2 pics? we know the color and it has a 5 lug swap with a terrible decision on the wheels…
I have seen that DA in person at the king motorsports shop…that DA is immaculate and its a built all motor b20vtec set up if i remember correctly…It also has AC and all that stuff if i recall and has one of the cleanest engine bays I have ever seen, not because its full wire tucked but because its nicely done and lot of it looks factory…
That wheel pic is sex…
that sound is amazing. 
car looks pretty !!!
sounds nasty. i wish the vtec crossover was a little more noticeable, but what is demonstrated here is that a smoother vtec transition is better for the valvetrain and if done right, can keep the powerband smoother. instead of the abrupt “POP” that most vtec motors have, this engine just coasts its way into it and sounds great while doing so. 230+whp isn’t bad, either.
clean car, dyno numbers seem a bit high for a 1.8L bottom end though.
Is it a 1.8l bottom end or a 2.0?
I’m pretty sure its a 1.8 but not 100% sure. I’m not sure if you guys know but there’s plenty of shops now making tremendous amounts of power with B series motors whether they are 1.8 or 2.0. I’m talking anywhere from 200whp to almost 300 whp. Here is a graph of a 2.0l with itbs from a local shop to me that surprised me a bit (note the peak whp numbers are not correct due to spikes but still seems pretty impressive):
and the link for its thread:
It is a 1.8L btw. I found this on King’s website:
01.17.10 King Ported Intake Manifold Nets 235 WHP on 1.8L LS Vtec
Utilizing King Motorsport’s DA project vehicle, we did some dyno testing on a ported vs. non-ported ITR intake manifold. Our DA is powered by a King Motorsports built 1.8 litre LS-Vtec with: King Ported head and valve job, 13:1 compression, King balance and blueprint, King bored throttle body, King custom header and exhaust, tuned length intake pipe and a King Motorsports Dyno tune on a Hondata S300 with 93 pump gas. Back to back runs showed a 4.48 WHP gain, with no loss on the low end.
