Testing Time! Some times a video says more than words….
Engine back in and running 300 HP!!
by Reinier on Nov.23, 2011, under Garage
A few weeks ago our K22 engine came back from it’s trip to UK. Rebuild and ready to rumble.
We mounted the engine back in the car and modified some minor details. Always exciting when you push the starter button for the first time again, but no problems at all. Everything was running perfectly.
To finetune the engine again another dynorun was needed, therefore we went back to DP Engineering. This time the magical 300 number was getting pretty close. Martijn managed to tune it with the Hondata Kpro to an astonishing 300,2HP with 275Nm of torque. All of that without using a turbo or supercharger. NA all the way.
Next up is fixing some minor things with suspension setup and we have to finish the front splitter. After that next Time Attack season may as well get started.

Air filter, cooling system and catch can.
by Reinier on May.29, 2011, under Garage
After searching the Showoff Imports warehouse we found the best air filter to suit our project. A group M like filter system, this should do the job of feeding the K20 with enough air.
Than there is the massive Megan Racing high capacity radiator. After welding some AN-connections (yet another custom job) on it we could use braided hoses with AN-fittings. Together with a Meziere pump this cooling system should be in enough to keep everything “cool”. The thermostat has gone so we always have full cooling capacity. During the filling process we discovered some leaks, after fixing that we thought we were all good. Yupz, we thought. There happened to be a major hole in the back of the engine. After comparing with the k20 ep3 it came obvious. There used to be a heater connected to that hole. After market plugs are available only from one brand, and we needed it fast, so that wasn’t an option. The best solution in these cases is to make one yourself, nothing can beat that So there you have it, one custom k20 heater plug. Only available at Showoff imports!!!!!!!
We don’t need any oil to get into the our engine we need a catch can to keep the oil from getting sucked back into the engine. For environmental reasons we need to catch all access oil the engine is spitting out.

After modifying the sub/frontframe we could finally install the radiator. In front of it you can also see the Setrab Oil Cooler.
Showoff Imports now official RC Engineering Dealer

We recently installed our brand new 650CC Injectors from RC-Engineering. From now on you can also order your injectors from Showoff Imports.nl. We use 650CC to make sure enough E85 will be injected in our engine!
Some extra interior parts installed.

This weekend we started working on the brakelines. HEL Brakelines has a special ORANGE colored brakeline that we use. We also installed the hydrylic handbrake (Six performance), the short shift system (Buddyclub) and a brake force distributor.
Next week we will make the brakelines. Since Showoff Imports is a official HEL Brakelines production facility and distributor, this shouldn’t be that difficult for us
