  • The K-Swift, a Honda K20 swapped Suzuki Swift, was already insanely fast when it was naturally aspirated, but now with a Rotrex supercharger installed by Lavigne Motorsports it's officially STUPID FAST around Toronto Motorsports Park.

    This thing is ridiculous. It's dangerous, loud, probably on fire and attempts to eject the driver. I want it. Bad.

      Obviously the K20 is brutal with the said mods but Swifter GTi on itsel with the 1.3 DOHC is suuuch a fun car, I bought one couple months and puts smile on my face everytime I drive it.

    It's quite a task to jump into something this high strung and run such a quick time. I'd definitely want to get those belts squared away, if they are coming off when just driving I'd hate to see what happened if you really needed them. Also, I would highly recommend some sort of HNRS device for as much time as you spend on the track. Basilar skull fractures sound like no fun at all. $600 is a small price to pay to keep your skull attached to your spine. It only took me a couple of sessions to get used to my Necksgen Rev 2 Lite, now I hardly notice it.
    Rotrex boosted cars are great on track. They have such a linear powerband, just as you described. Every time you put your foot down you get the same immediate response. There is a definite fun factor to turbocharged cars, but when you are trying to keep a car balanced on the limit I find that predictable and linear power is the way to go.
    Great driving, and as always, great video!

I was thinking of a super turbo build but I just cant keep a head gasket to hold together for that. I'm also eyeing a 200hp+ hyabusa setup but I think Honda has more of the Kahunas that i need.

    We just took my mates 500hp Rotrex Supercharged K20 Type-R to 3 Sisters circuit in Wigan last weekend- majority forged internals in the K20 so they were fine, but we fried the supercharger after only 3 laps. It's been on for a few years but this was first time it was tracked as far as we know (car came to us last year with charger installed). Oil circulation had failed and charger internals seized.
    Careful what you do with your Rotrex, they do not seem as sturdy as the K20s they are attached to.

    Really not trying to be that guy here but dude, if you’re going to be driving a car like that you need a Hans. Im a pro driving instructor by profession and I will not get into a race car without wearing a neck restraint. I’ve known a couple instructors in the industry that have been killed by not wearing a restraint. As someone that drives a lot of my clients cars, I know that you never go 10/10ths or take any risks. Regardless, in cars like this that really push the limits it’s so easy for something to go wrong that’s not even driver fault. As I’m sure you know. At those speeds the one wrong hit can be a serious injury or worse. There’s plenty of UA-cam videos that demonstrate this(search Hans vs no Hans crash). I don’t mean to be negative, just want to bring your awareness to a serious safety matter. I love your videos and I think you do awesome work! You guys build awesome cars, are extremely knowledgeable and seem like all around great people. If you have any interest doing a track day in the northeast, Watkins Glen probably being the closest, I operate a hpde organization and it would be great to host you guys there. Look forward to seeing more videos! Hopefully with a Hans in them 😉.
    My recommendation is the Simpson Hybrid Hans. It’s what I personally wear. It works with both harnesses and a 3 point as well. I’d be happy to help set you up with one if needed.
