    Hello Iron block friends

    Thought it was about time i shared my creation with the interweb. Been racing a 2nd gen prelude with A20A5 Accord powertrain. Gt3071 turbo running on propane. one of the fastest FWD around here on a road course or hillclimb. On the search for Integra CG trans gears. good 3rd gear syncro hubs as well. Hope some of you guys can help

    A20A5 block O-ringed and stock fel pro gasket with miata Arp head studs. CP forged pistons on stock rods,bolts, and crank. Big cam, Chevy 350 exhaust valve springs, machined retainers. Custom baffled and sumped pan, oil cooler & remote filter. Garrett GT3071 ball bearing turbo into a baer intercooler core with custom tank with velocity stacks in & out. CO2 spray at WOT on the cooler for hillclimbs and short courses. Power steering, Lsd from a B16 civic by Mfactory. Rides on Hotbits coil overs on 500/400 lb springs. Stock sway bars & control arms. 88 Prelude front brakes with powerslot rotors & carbotech pads. Integra Ebay rad. $114!! Custom curved distributor running to a MSD BTM box. Turns 8k all day long. Blows thru a fixed venturi propane mixer and a boost referenced regulator. nothing special about the fuel system. Aluminum fork lift cylinder in the trunk. Burns 1 lb of propane per min at boost. about 30 mins on a tank. Tank is 55lbs full. the car is 1904 lbs fueled and ready to destroy tires. never been on a dyno but estimates made by others and myself figure about 300 to the ground at 17psi.

    Oh man, this is surprising! I saw you parked in the pits at Knox and took a bunch of snaps to post here but it looks like you beat me to it! Unfortunately there was no one around to talk to and I didn't see you go up the hill

    Great to see that you found the forum so you could share your ride! Very creative.

    How long have you been running this car now?

    This is a new body cause I crashed the old one in 2011 at knox. The car has been a constant evolution since early 2000. Ya this year at knox wasa bitter disappointment. My new motor developed a noise and I didn't continue after the first run. Next year! Any help on any engine or trans parts?

    Oh man that's too bad, hopefully next year it goes better!

    Sorry I can't help with the parts you're looking for, but good luck.
