EK HB...K20 Turbo swap, first K-swap, more to come...

Well I have been motivated quite a bit latley so I have actually been making progress on this kit I started over a year ago. These are pics I took a few months back so I wanted to post these first because I have done a good bit more work since this.

The plan was an OEM looking body painted silver w/ a few CF pieces, K20 swap and some nice wheels but it is looking a little more aggressive than I intended (you'll see what I mean in the pics I post soon), I guess that usually happens w/ builds anyway anyway. The motor and turbo was just mocked up here but I decided that I did not like this turbo manifold setup so I built another, which I'll show soon. Well here are the first pics, it should be coming together soon but only time will tell for sure

YAY! AF is getting more and more hondas!! :icon16:
Everytime I see a revell civic,more and more I want one...And this one is looking great!!! The turbo setup is cool,where did you get that air filter? it came with the kit?? Oh God,I need a revell civic...

Looks really good. I started mine as well, but your idea is way carzy! Nice looking bay you got going there. Is the intake manifold scratch built? I think I see some styrene rods in there! Nice build up!

There certainly arent enough Hondas on AF:screwy: What a douche....

EDIT: Douche-Douchebag,right? The meaning is like Idiot,isn't it?
But,what I meant saying that the AF is gettin more hondas,I said in the modelling section,because when I acessed it,It had about 4-5 Honda car Wip's in the WIP section...I hope you understood what I want to say.

Thanks man, I am definetely known around here for building hondas:sunglasse The filter came with the RSX kit so I just used it here but now that setup is no more cause I really liked this one more, not to mention it worked out alot better.

This is NOT the final coat in the bay, I still have alot of smoothing to do.

I am very happy with the turbo setup now all though I do plan on moving the turbo over a little towards the valve cover, I just need to cut and shorten the header. I think it will just fit better over all this way.

The body got alot more work than expected, I made the sideskirts a bit wider so they bring the body closer to the ground w/o looking like a crazy body kit, I wanted a more aggressive stock look. the same applies to the lip I made, I just wanted to bring the front end down some, the stock size of the lip and sideskirts are just too small IMO.

Now that I've taken these photos I will get some more progress done and post up again soon (I hope).

Very nice man. I am so glad to see some of your builds going! I love you style, and the idea that you build Honda's!!!

Thats a sweet header. Glad to see you back and can't wait for more.
