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.

We sure had some fun during our first testing day but it soon turned all around.

28th of August a new event came up. We were desperately trying to get the car ready before that. Some last details still had to be done but no major stuff. We had to make sure the car was running properly so we didn’t lose face during Superlap so we planned a shakedown on Zandvoort circuit.
August 24 was the big day!!
To get the car really ready for track we still had some things to do. It was way to loud with the Ape garage custom exhaust, this should only take one lap before we get the black flag. Regulations are very strict over here in Holland according to sound levels. Another problem was a ticking fuel pump. That should be the first problem to take on. After that trouble really started.

A few weeks ago we had a photoshoot with our lovely ladies for a new poster. And sure we like to share

To create enough downforce on our track car we decided to make the entire bottom flat en use a rear diffusor. The diffusor is made of ABS plastic to keep it light and flexibel.

Last May the second big event of this years season was held. On the paddock of Circuit park Zandvoort there where a lot of clubs present with this time only Japanese cars. On track, round 2 of this years Time Attack series. Our friends over at RPMVision made another great movie to recap the entire day. Enjoy!!

All things coming together now, almost ready to fire the engine up for the very first time. But there is one important bit we didn’t spent any time on so far. The exhaust system. We did however think about it, what’s best for the job, an after market system? Witch brand? Stainless steel or even titanium? What system is going to be quiet enough for track regulations, with a very very very loud k20?

All these things considering the best way to go was to make a custom exhaust system with vibrant mufflers connected to the Megan racing race-header. It would be a 3inch system. For this job we called in Kel from the ApeGarage, he just makes great things. Check it out on http://www.ape-garage.nl/
