I get around 30 around town. If I drive higher into the rev range, I’m about where you are. Restraint is the key.

Wow… what exclusive klan did you borrow that rhetoric from? This is a mudslinging thread with a few helpful bits and a bunch of butthurt. You have ALSO won the Internet. Congratulations. I’ll retire from this post. When I finish my other projects, maybe I’ll get to working the current daily...

Then by all means, please educate us further on how spitballing has chapped your ass ever so much. 😂 YOU WIN THE INTERNET!

Not even close to what I was thinking, but agreed with your statement about a perfect world. Remember I’m playing Devil’s advocate- you were warned. As far as imaginary exclusivity for the C1- yes, critical bits are only on the C1, but there are apparently a bunch of shared internals...

I don’t know where the advantage of using the intake side C2 head would be- especially for forced induction, but that’s a straw man… I guess I’m curious: if the bore and stroke are the same (they are), why not use the C2 Pistons with the C1 rods? The crank is also the same. This is totally a...

Taco- you’re listing the parts for a daily. The engine/transmission/harness are all I would really be after, if at all. I’m enjoying this little variant for what it is, according to its strengths. I’m optimistic, and that’s essentially where we differ. Regardless-a swap is a monumental...

That’s exactly what I’ve done for now, and I’m considering exhaust options. Hang in there- when this platform ages, more products and options will be available. I believe this is the last Honda NA vtec, so I’m cherishing it while I can. It IS still a K20, after all.

I will tell you this: that cvt isn’t something I’d want, but I’d hang in there. A manual swap seems pretty extreme, and I’m hoping the c2 gets a little more attention in the next few years from the aftermarket, since Honda is still using it pretty extensively. I’m not going near an L15 anytime...

That’s EXACTLY what my intent is, I think the OP kind of has that spirit. I want a sneaky monster. There are no more coupes, and certainly few with a type r power train. Again- why I am waiting patiently for some kid to wreck their CTR- I want the ECU also, because I’ll need it. 😉 The only...

Don’t want to burst your bubble, but I’m pretty sure Acuity has done it. They sponsor a coupe that is running a K20c1- pretty sure it’s got a CTR transmission. I plan on doing the same to my sport coupe in about five years. Good luck!

My sport is sitting on 18x8.0 +40. OEM wheels for the sport. Tires are 235 40 18. Those are the factory specs for sport shoes.

Ok I’m not very reactionary, but this sounds like a sneaky possibility… especially if it’s behind the timing cover. I’m GUESSING that cylinder 1 on the L15 is the one I refer to in my photo attached. I’m marking the voids that would be likely to be more hidden by said cover… Hmmm… good...

Did this last Monday, out of necessity… I was backing down the driveway when I heard (felt) a “pop”… spent the next 20 minutes on my back, cursing. Installed the 20mm RSB and adjustable end links 24SEP21. I am not going to name the manufacturer, as the part performed satisfactorily until it...

Just a few from recently: I am kind of amused at the physical size difference between our Gen 10 and our 08 Si twins. Be easy- just got the coupe a few weeks ago and it IS Honda paint. It’ll match the sedan soon.

Harrisburg to Boston…. This is the first tank, at fill up in Connecticut. I make it on a tank and a half without fail. This is from 13MAY22. I run exclusively Sunoco 91 or Sheetz 93, don’t even know what the “ECON” button does, and am running a K+N CAI on a Ktuner base map. This is a K20C2...

Well at worst you’ll get experience with a cool, expensive tool. Don’t know that you’ll find the problem. Let’s hash this out again… First: Maybe most importantly, your engine isn’t “blown” at this point, at least not what you described. Your initial post mentioned a sudden loss of power, and...

The thread in the link in your first reply (dthanb), in the first pages describes something involving head distortion, head gasket issues, and general head issues. If you’re not losing coolant, I wouldn’t eliminate this, but I’d eliminate other possibilities before I revisit. Lack of white...

“Head”??? 🤔 Ok, you’ve isolated the issue OP. I’d guess something to do with the compression of cylinder 1. Which can be a lot of things. Work down the list of culprits based on what the engine did at the onset of the issue.

Bump to avoid starting new thread… What happened to this project? Anything available yet? I’ve found some options on the market, but not a bunch. I’m very interested in a CRX style finish to the rear of the coupe. Anybody else with a coupe find/make a duckbill?

I use exclusively 91 octane also, have a 12 gallon tank, and the same NA k20 the ex has. I get 373 almost every fill up. Been running a K+N CAI over 20K miles, average 26-28 mpg when driving locally, not a tiny bit aggressively, actually aggressively. This is a manual. Moral of the story: you...
