The car looks lovely to start with actually, really nice.

Daft question for yourself and Ian I guess, I see you both mention ITB's at some point in the future but in my admittedly small amount of research I'd always thought the F20 is a very difficult engine to improve on and I wondered whether ITB's would actually bring any gain?

Anyway, good luck! Keep us posted, I know I for one am rivetted to the build diaries of any of these conversions, as it's genuinely something I hope to do myself.

Yes, car is a very clean one, underneath is unbelievable, hard to believe its 20 years old but I did look at some rubbish ones before I found this I'm in the UK but I have a good friend down there in NZ (Rotorua) Robbie Ward at R.I.P.S ltd (they make fantastic RB30 skyline engines)

The F20C is probably the most advanced engine that Honda currently produces in standard form. There are slight gains to be made in a combination of ECU, ITB, Ports & combustion chamber work, cams (lift change and small duration changes) & exhaust manifold, basically undoing anything that was put on the engine for emission control purposes. I dont think doing these in isolation has much effect but 20 FW HP should be possible with all of them. We'll see......
