ah rochi... good builder that one...

it's Lochi rite?

people usually pronounce it as lochi... but the signboard spells it with an R

Yep. Anyway performer x installed. Hose routing is a nightmare. Had to change idle valve and throttle cable to type r. installation cost just went up a lot i should have retained my iacvlesssetup...

Added on June 25, 2012, 8:27 pmOh madman, take note max plenum opening is only 68 after porting. Cannot open to 70. Ori only 66mm.

All that space is soon to be taken up. (O_o)


Packing 200horsepower and one cockroachpower for added oomph

better than maddriver ah?
how he charges?
expensive but great work or good work with decent price?

yes u should have maintained iacvless... hahahahha...why cant u maintain it anyway?

68mm is fine i guess...coz i using cilpak skunk2 now anyway which cant o to 70 either


rochi has been building hondas for more than a decade...the brand hardrace's sepang 1000km eg6 race car was also built by him....theyve ben lotsa honda monsters

pricewise i dunno...not a customer.. but i do have a few of my friends whos sent his car to him....and they keep going back as repeat customers


maddriver is more to rally though.. and i have never seen a honda monster built by him. he has built other cars though.. and they do keep going back to him

Well the reason i went iacvless previously was because the r intake i used had the iacv threads ruined, so i ask people to weld it shut so no iacv

kinda useless anyway, since it doesn't do much duty other than prevent revs dropping too fast. Since this intake got the port, tried putting a b16a one in, but too close to the hardline near proportioning valve. I'm currently looking for pics on how the hose and tb cable routing is supposed to be like

Rochi now doing k20a engine builds now, including k20/24 frankensteins.

I don't think rochi is expensive. Kinda depends what work you want done and time taken to do it.

so why not go back to IACVless? i would love to run IACVless... 1 less honda part failure to worry about...but at about RM4xx inclusive labour n parts to get the IACVless setup... id rather spend it on walbro hahahah

as for the throttle cable.. u got the EK9 or the DC2? coz the DC2 cable is just as stupid as the EG/EF cables which goes around the world before going to the throttle body. if EK9, its supposed to go under the intake manifold and come back up around to the throttle body

heres a sample pic of my setup..

Was on dc2/eg/ef throttle cable routing, so had to change to ek9 one. Woah u have much bling under the hood. Mine mostly black only. Then again, i am pretty lazy with engine cleaning. Btw, what ratio are u using for your b20b?

Added on June 26, 2012, 3:17 pmBtw just to give you an idea, the performer x sits a full one inch closer to the firewall compared to itr/skunk2 one

whoah....tight clearance then...

the bling under the hood was there when i bought the car.. so i just maintain only...hahahah

stock B16A gearbox...with Type R clutch... i dun even have LSD

Yeah, tighter than expected.

Don't worry about being only on B16A, I ran stock B16A g/box for a long time until my 3/4th syncro mamposed. Now on S4C, thinking of GSR LS 5th gear ratio for highway cruising but $$$ diverted elsewhere, like everyone else.. hahaha. I thought the Y21 is good enough because it has the exact same ratio as the EK9 S4C, except s4c comes with LSD and dual cone syncros.

Anyway, I also not confident of my skills using torsen/helical LSD since it's supposed to involve left foot braking. Just enjoying the torque of B20b is enough for me.

Well, I bought my car from an audio enthusiast. Holes everywhere lol (I consider free lightening). Chassis was cheap though for the price at that time.

yeah the GSR 5th would be longer right?

im actually pretty happy with my gearbox and ratios...just that no LSD makes me abit i have no intentions of changing the gearbox... just fit in a type r LSD and mebbe Ogura and ill be happy already..hahhaa

ex-owner of my car recommended me to change my 3rd n 4th to U&A ratios.. said it was the bomb.. unfortunately he sold them before selling the car to me

how much would it cost to get the GSR 5th installed?

Not sure, I'm not sure about trying it anytime soon because it is a huge jump from the 4th. Kinda depends on how much fuel prices goes up I guess..

My friend bought this halfcut. Can't wait for his parts to arrive then can see how a K20A is being installed and how much the cost in total.

well... theres always the 4.2 FD ratio...

Lol, that was what my mech recommended. but since it affects the torque on all gears, not sure if want.

a high powered/torqued B20 would prolly love it for daily drive

It is fun, and always great for surprising those ah beng inspira/waja/honda/lancer gt, even the occasional 3 and 5 series BMWs

Forgot to add:
And those CFE Preve's. Though admittedly, their low end torque is not bad. Almost stock B20B but not quite there. of course, this I mean by cruising at 2-4K rpm la. Don't think the salesguy would like it if I mash the throttle on their test car and use the manual CVT to shift. LOL.

is b20 that fast bro? found few ads in mudah, b16a wit b20 block

yeah... ombined with hondas beautiful ratios... they are.

unfortunately..sometimes while cruising on highway... .5th gear feels like 3rd gear for us B20 runners

nah, not fast bro, putting a SUV engine into a small car is still not that fast.

Now, this.. is madness.
huehuehuehue



Too bad there's no way to do this in Malaysia legally, since v6 3.2 is too big a jump, and roadtax is a few thousand per year.

Added on June 27, 2012, 12:39 amLol, I remember having a guy drive my car, he shifted from 5th to reverse with a loud cruuuuunkk! Probably thought there was a 6th gear. lol
