Excellent Power Curve
This got to be one of the most (if not THE) excellent power curve on VW 1.8T. Running on HTA3076, QED’s CAT cams, dual port meth injection and of course Unitronic tuned. 4.5k rpm onwards, this monster rides like freight train on drugs!
Mamamia!

4G93 still ROCKS!
This has to be the most powerful 4G93 I've ever seen first hand. No mivec, forced induction, ITB goodies but punching out 191.5hp on wheels! And it can still hit 11-12k rpm with even more power! This sleeper beast already roaming in Gombak and Shah Alam. The only hints I can tell you is that the car is Satria GTi and is using Goodyear tyres. Pocong got to be really be discreet when going to these areas hehehe

Plautos's homemade turbo manifold
We all knew that he has a GT2860RS in his backyard and knew something interesting is coming. And now, he just finished fabricating turbo manifold to go along with the new turbo. DIY. No lengthy words this time as I let the images do the talking. I wouldn’t call him “Chip Foose” for nothing didn’t I ?? :P

Randomness of Jade K20-ed
My affection on Honda started when I was flipping through Evo magazine few years back about DC2 ITR on why they labeled it as “best handling fwd machine yet..”. Since then, scouting for good condition DC2 ITR began then DC5 ITR and then thinking of doing up the entire thing on my aunt’s EG coupe (remember F&F the original?). End up, I settled for the Pocong.
Back then, B series were ‘the’ in-thing and there’s some suspicious on how K series will retain the affection of enthusiasts. Well that was short lived till around 3 years ago when K series started showing its fangs in the NA world. It makes perfect sense to me for Honda to moved into that path simply because more cc will bring more power throughout rev range and new completely opposite engine orientation where intake manifold in front (just like VAG 1.8T) is one of the secret ingredient on why it’s so sweet.
Through Meor’s blog, I came a across one of the finest restored EK9 with K20 heart which have been touched and modded. Jade as the owner calls it, was unmolested, untouched legitimate right hand drive JDM before shipped to the big Apple.
Yank out the B-series and went for K20A from Acura RSX Type S (with the help of Hassport mounts) and went mad with the rebuild! CP X forged oversize pistons, ACL race bearings, skunk2 pro goodies & cams and these managed by Hondata K-pro ECU. 6 speeder gearbox derived from Type S along with Type R LSD and 4.78 final drive. Serious stuff being put in, with the right hands in tuning the beast, she registers 263hp and 245nm on the rollers!
JIC Flt full coilovers, Cusco 24mm rear sway bar, skunk2 LCA, skunk2 camber kits, skunk2 strut bars and Honda’s H1 12-point roll cage making it a race car prepped for street and yet legal to eyes of American’s police. Jade, you can’t be serious, can you???
Take a step back, the works being done is more than exemplary. Take a look at the pictures, you’ll be in awe on how well build is this beast. May not be the most powerful K20 around but one of the finest being restored! Just err Jade, you’ve got so many wheels fitted just like girls keep changing their heels! :P
PS: This has made me thinking an NA car to play alongside with the Pocong. EG with K20a or TE30 with 4AGE or SGTi with 4G93 (4G94 internal & on quads throttle)!

Kuman’s FighterVek
The ‘Mat Rock’ styling of Satria GTi is just HOT to the eyes of everybody, which is one of the apparent reasons why I bought mine at Ming Heng dealership, Jalan Setapak back in 2003 without even checking the car inside out. So, it’s hard to see really anything that can make it better.
This is where a friend of mine, Kuman comes in. His relentless quest of keeping this hot hatch hot! Sprayed his ‘Date’ in brilliant red, R3 front splitter with 16” Desmond Evo Regamaster (sometimes 15” Rays Gremlights 57s for track use) wheels is just uniquely eye catching experience. On top of that, it has the power to justify the looks :)
Mods kicked off with DMT custom exhaust with dual muffler, from there onwards blew an engine once (or twice hehe) knowing what’s right & wrong all the way until full engine rebuilt; forged 81.5 JE pistons, Duratech rods, Kings race bearings, Mivec heads and managed by Microtech LT10s. Aside from Microtech tuning, all of the works done by the same mechanic in Kuantan whom he knew for years. The same guy who worked on Zaid’s Evo3-ed SGTi, go figure!
Cusco Comp-S coilover with pillowball mounts heading the suspension upgrade along with AutoForm chassis stiffening, custom adjustable links and bumpsteer kit. Evo 3’s twin pot BBK with Project U rotors and pads making sure the car stops on time.
Last dynoed, the car registered 160 hp on wheel but expect 170+hp after changing to stock flywheel and crankshaft to get better momentum on high revs. 4G93T GSR’s injectors also in making sure sufficient fuel flowing to the combustion chamber.
In SIC, the car can safely register below 2:54 which I doubt my Pocong can at this moment of time (plus Pocong driver isn’t really skilled to begin with :))
Even with all the mods, the car is daily driven and reliable as he weekly commuting up and down the east coast. Just err your spine may need to get use to the 9kg spring rate.
Just like Plautos & Zaid rides, I have utmost respect for the works being done, everything seem to work in harmony. At this moment, only two parts are missing i.e. Jun step-2 cams and Jenvey’s 4 throttle kit. These among the things in the checklist by end of the year! :p

Captain's GTi
A buddy of mine, Zaid aka CaptainEvo has fallen to the darkside years ago. Getting the G feeling from forced fed akin to injecting drugs into his veins, something he couldn’t resist and wanted more of it.
Quest for power has been irked by certain quarters that err emphasise on control above power will bring the best out of the car, in which I agree. But I also have to agree that having such ludicrous amount of power is just mad as in exciting and very unique. It’s something that can only be understood once you’ve tasted the wonders of forced induction.
Having accustomed to mild tuned Evo 3’s 4G63T in his Satria GTi for years, he started opening a can of worms bits by bits until this year where he’s gone all out, well almost.
Sourced the goodies at the right time and place, set aside a spare engine in case anything went wrong and best of all got very experienced and grease techies to do up his project car. All in, the works are superb and wicked! Have a look at the images and you’ll agree with me completely!
Before you asked, NO the works has not stopped, in fact it’s just begun. I can foresee Microtech LT10 & handset, 2.3 ltr stroker kit, Walbro fuel pump, Sard injectors, GT30 turbo etc. I wouldn’t say how much power it’ll be registering but one thing for sure, with something like that in a hatch could just bend time!
May the power of Lord Sidious bless you with your quest in the darkside bro!
