k series is the best engine made imo. The amount of cfm these heads flow is nuts. Its why they can respond to just bolt ons so well n/a and make nearly 300whp. And why they can make such good power boosted. Alot of guys in the usa run these for drag racing and have proven the bottom stock rotating assembly unopened no head studs just dead stock hold 600whp. They tend to get valve spring issues around this hp level some have made 700whp with springs with the bottom end stock. Most impressive engine imo. Thats like a 4.0L v8 making 1200whp stock unopened lol that can rev to 9k. If you follow neurtron engines he is actually building a k series v8. Hes very close to having it ready. His will be fully built and will have 4piston billet heads estimated to make well over 1200hp boosted. And it will rev to 11k

[@SQUIZZLER24]

Heavier duty valve springs, some drop-in cams and then just the regular intake and exhaust change with a decent map and the K20A2 will push 270hp NA, rev to 9,500rpm and just live with it all day, every day. The K-series is an unbelievable engine. It’s no wonder people are putting them into absolutely everything these days.

[@kantina4765]

@@TheFPSPowerguys clearly got enough money to not care about much of anything in that car breaking

[@michaellee1344]

Flat foot shifting is actually part of the ecu remap. The ecu holds the revs for half a second for the gear change. This doesn’t damage the clutch as it shifts during perfect conditions. With out a remap the revs will rise to redline. This is not the same as forcing a gear change on a stock ecu. Hope this helps you understand. I have this set up on my type r fn2 along with auto rev match on downshift. That’s the beauty of fly by wire accelerator instead of cable. Lots of things can be done on the map.

[@cameronmmj9291]

[@Spac8]

I have always liked this idea. "I have found a good chassis, so I will put a totally different and much better engine in to give the chassis the power it needs." I'm a big advocate of the UK built MG ZS (based on the Honda MA8 platform.) but it was never offered with the power to match such a brilliant handling car. (177bhp V6, great engine but not enough in stock tune.) Someone put a 300bhp 1.8t 20v VAG engine in one and suddenly the chassis came alive. Was hassling all sorts of cars on the track!

No-lift-shift every single gear on 450hp turbo the whole lap, what else were you expecting

I'm not a fan of fiestas but a K20 swap is kinda awesome. Looks quick but I can imagine the lag on a big turbo is not so great for the track. Maybe targeting 400hp might make the car a "better overall" performing car. Awesome build though. Can't wait to see it with the R35 gear box. 🤜👍

[@nikpester]

Love the way Mischa looks like he's drivin' Miss Daisy! 'til the clutch master cylinder let go and the throttle signal failed! Great job though - obviously felt comfortable with it as was proper cuffing it (as we say in the West of England). Needs 4WD though, 460 BHP through the front wheels only is lunacy.

[@Deusmitte]

I don't think the gearbox is supposed to be abused from 2nd to 3rd flat out on the gas, just for those race situations when it would really make a difference. 3rd to 4th looks different, more space to use it more often. Incredible drive and build 👏.

Мише очевидно понравилась эта машина, надеюсь ребята скоро всё настроят и поменяют, чтоб приехать обратно и прокатится еще раз. Отличный проект

[@Bassalicious]

Pretty sure the flat foot shifting didn't work more than half the gear shifts. Maybe that's because the gear indicator gets confused whenever the car leaves the ground or has slip. My guess is that the ECU is calculating the gears based on speed of the rear wheels and engine RPM. Then when the flat foot shifting doesn't work because of that you let the clutch fly at wide open throttle and the engine in the limiter. That would fry most clutch systems in no time flat.

[@VWPirates]

This car is a rocket! Unfortunately flatfoot shifting will kill a clutch when hammered like this too often. Often seen in Saburu STI's.

[@rafaelfavela77]

Coming from someone that also had a big turbo very modified 4 cyl with both Factory and aftermarket flatfoot shifting, flat for shifting should only be used when absolutely needed on long straights otherwise you are certainly tearing up the clutch and transmission. Even if the transmission holds up you're heating up and causing excess on the clutch very quickly. Shift normal, deal with the lag, and for drag racing or at least occasional on Long straights is the only time you should flat foot on these types of cars! It really hurt me to see so many back-to-back no lift shifts you can definitely tell the car was not liking it that frequently and especially in lower gears.
