"We only had 50 employees, so I had to do everything myself, from building the engine, to installation, to testing the car, testing the track, sweeping the floor, I had to do this long time". So humble master.
A very special engineer who has great knowledge and experience, this kind of NA motor is about true love of engineering and the best skill, an art that should be preserved and carried on, I glad he is teaching his son to take on the heritage of this great engine building. Please show how much faster the revs are, the more usable powerband as it moves faster and further the oem powerband and please showcase the all important sound of the complete engine as it is raced on the track. Really enjoyable segment about his time at Mugen, his association with F1, drivers such as Eddie Cheever.
I was thinking the same, this is becoming such a dying breed now. In 10+ years the best “engine tuners” will be MIT grads who plug their laptop into an electric car and override the factory ECM software to make more kilowatts.
engineering at its finest. Its sad in America, everyone wants brutal torque and stroked motors. But around the world its about over squared engines and reving with long rod to stroke ratios creating less load on the bottom end. People dont realize you can get your torque out of shortening your trans. But yes I do agree with you this is a dying breed. Love the one off parts.
@@kpwr6197 While it is true that you can get more torque by using higher gear ratio, but that also means lower top speed, it is suitable in many application but won't satisfy those speed demon. Brutal torque is great but the technology they used are not that efficient for american cars which is sad like you said, and yes i love when someone tries to increase the efficiency of an engine
This content is exactly what I love your channel for. Shame about the cut in the interview but hopefully you can visit at some point in the future as you said!
The footage used at 1:12 of the 2 Seeker EK9's is also on BESTMOTORing 's Official YT channel where they cover some technical info about K-tech pistons and rods for the B18C and then proceed to do some testing with Daisuke Ito behind the wheel. The video has not received ENG subs yet unfortunately, so all that juicy info is up in the air unless someone submits the eng subs someday. Fun fact tho: you can catch a glimpse of the SEEKER (Version 1) wing on both white and yellow EK9 which i've only ever seen on those cars and no other ever again.
That really is Racing design on those pistons and rods, you don't normally see those stiffeners in the pistons in many other forged pistons, and the the rods doesn't usually has the cut out at right above the big end of the rod.
this is F1 tech. only if i make enough money i would buy this things. hobbies that your passionate would make you go hardcore since its one of your happiness in life
Awesome episode & I'm not a Honda guy at all. I would love to see you do something like this about RE Amemiya. Being a rotary engine builder here in the northeast US since '09, I've always been inspired by their builds. Not just a pursuit of raw power, but of a perfectly balanced vehicle. And they helped dispel a lot of the BS myths that piston engine guys like to say about rotary's. Kyle Mohan has proven to everyone that when you know what your doing, rotary's can be extremely reliable in the fact that he used the same 20b the ENTIRE season in '19 & wasn't torn down at all. He did comparable to Dai Yoshihara, who used 3 2jz's that year.
I work at Mazda Toyota Manufacturing in Alabama. This guy reminds me of my advisors who have been with Mazda for a minimum of 20 years. I might not like the job but man, I love the passion the advisors exude. It's kinda infectious. The job I help do is to ensure the body lines of the car are perfect. I see Mazdas out in the wild, as I say, and smile at that Kodo design.
Man you chanel is a gold mine ! Thank you very much for thoses documentary ! Love the GT soundtrack on the back! I am sure we could be friends in real life ! Keep it up and thanks again
I would absolutely spend money on a motor built this good. This guy needs to blow up! *_Damn this is super cool! Hopefully his son carries on this legacy. I'll have to check out the website. Hopefully he has some parts for the D series motor._*
Awesome to see an interview with a master of engine tuning! If i had the money i would do it! I love NA engine. There is nothing better sounding than an NA with an ITB setup and open trumpets!
Amazing is about all i can say and a true master as he explains it in such simple terms that anyone can follow. Thanks for the video and thanks to another car master
Great video as always! Would love for your take on the AW11 MR2, and its general absence from BM/HV, I've always tried digging around for older videos but only find the newer (and better platforms) SW20 and ZZW30
Although its even way more expensive than German expert ... however the name hes selling is probably from formula technology and skill + Ex Mugen engineer title . Its worth it for his stuff and reliability
About time someone did a video on Makoto Kawashima - you should expand on this and do a video at the workshop (it's like a surgical room) and seeing an engine on the bench dyno being tested would be brilliant :).
I squeezed 200hp out of a tilted can B20a7 around 20 years ago, had so much compression the front wheels would lock up if I came off the throttle too much, I squeezed that in a actual MK1 crx (plastic wings) wow I miss that car, got stolen 😔 out of my garage! But in answer to your question, N/A tune all the way baby (he says looking at his tubby tintop mr2 and tubby saab90002.3 daily 😏)!
i always think K series is the best compare to F series and B series because of the power band, you can get more power out of it when modified. although, B18C5 and F20 have a smoother engine feel than that of K series. you can feel more vibration on the K series when it hit vtec where as B18c5 and F20 its power feel so smooth in vtec engagement now i think about it, it could be how well the piston design is. ever since i watch this video. a well balance piston.
Hey thank you for all your content! I've recently been building my prelude and the h22a vs f20b discussion never really seemed to come to a conclusion. The information on the f20b motor Honda used for racing seems to still be mysterious. I was wondering if you could dig up any info and maybe do a special on it just a suggestion that could lead to a great story.
That's my DREAM car.... I don't want a 1000hp Supra or some POS exotic "hyper" car (although Pagani & Koenigsegg do hold a special place in my heart), no no no; I WANT THIS^^^^!!!! The K-Tech S2000!!!
As much as I love the NA engine, can’t help but wonder how these parts will hold up with a tickle of boost. Not for silly power but better low down torque and keeping the power around the 300/350bhp mark.
"We only had 50 employees, so I had to do everything myself, from building the engine, to installation, to testing the car, testing the track, sweeping the floor, I had to do this long time". So humble master.
Not as humble as your intellect anyway.
Normal for japanese company once i worked in toyota city early in the morning i saw my general manager cleaning production toilet by himself
340 Horsepower with a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine is insane!
@sw4gr1d on a 2000cc? I don't think so
even on a stock f20c its 120hp per liter, which was the higher hp per litre engine 4 cyl
@@DanieleMamelicoolestaura516 its stroker 2.4L
they made a 500hp naturally aspirated one
You can make more sure but this looks very streetable

This is truly fantastic content. Nobody else is putting out stuff like this for English speakers. Thanks for putting this together!

I love all the nerdy details and I love the soundtrack choices!
the only channel in 2021 which takes me back to the good ol 90's 💕

Bro I didn’t know you were on here. I have you on IG, I’m glad you still around and enjoying cars like the rest of us. Props on your civic as well.
SEEKER eg6 was a monster. It could smoke RE Amemiya Rx7 on Touge if Orido didn't crash
What’s the song
Thanks to japan, best nation! support from italy ✋🇯🇵🇮🇹

I had watched this a few times already. Thank you for interviewing him. His expertise on honda engines is someone who I look up to. Thanks again
New Jdm Masters episode best day ever 🙏🙂
I love watching your videos JDM Masters. Brings me back to the 90s with these jdm cars every time!
this is F1 tech. only if i make enough money i would buy this things. hobbies that your passionate would make you go hardcore since its one of your happiness in life
I’m really happy I randomly clicked on this video.
I love everything you do for your channel. There is not just incredible amounta of information. But it's so well edited and out together! Thank you

now compare that to the m104's used in europe in drifting, all used and abused for many, many events, europe doesnt get the recognition by anyone

Watching this Channel for awhile. And i found a new game drinking a glass sake everytime the captain says actually. love you guys.
Once again, A phenomenal video from capt. Keep it up king
The Gran Turismo music is all I need to hear to know you make good content 👍
Man you chanel is a gold mine ! Thank you very much for thoses documentary ! Love the GT soundtrack on the back! I am sure we could be friends in real life ! Keep it up and thanks again
Wow! Very informative interview! Thank you so much for making these kind of content! Love from USA and Philippines!!
I'm so happy you did an insight on k-tech!
i'm waiting for this episode too
always can depend on quality JDM knowledge as usual. keep up the great work and thank you for all the JDM content through this pandemic and beyond!!!
I was thinking the other day when will you post another video and now here it is :) I will enjoy this with my morning coffee!
Video is just awesome. But I also really enjoyed the Gran Turismo soundtrack in the back at times :D nicely done
I love how you use Gran Turismo soundtrack on your videos. Keep it up! :)
First time watching. I learned a lot 💯. This is great please return. This man is a legend.
Alot of us have been very eager to learn more about K TECH Engine Service. Thank you!
I would absolutely spend money on a motor built this good. This guy needs to blow up!
*_Damn this is super cool! Hopefully his son carries on this legacy. I'll have to check out the website. Hopefully he has some parts for the D series motor._*
Excellent video, thanks again Capt, keep up the awesome work!😎👍
My two favorite things are Honda cars and engines, and F1 so this video is perfect.
I'm in Japan and looking to get a Honda for my next car. Thanks for showing me who my next tuner will be
😄😄😄
I don't know what does kick in more. Honda's engines or the introduction song. 0:57
Awesome to see an interview with a master of engine tuning! If i had the money i would do it! I love NA engine. There is nothing better sounding than an NA with an ITB setup and open trumpets!

My first Japanese TH-camr I subscribed to 🤩 greetings from Germany
I’m just browsing JDM stuff and this popped up. This is too JDM and I love it
new JDM masters video. the best way to start the day !!!! ✨💕
It definitely is 🍻😎
Great video as always! Would love for your take on the AW11 MR2, and its general absence from BM/HV, I've always tried digging around for older videos but only find the newer (and better platforms) SW20 and ZZW30
F-1 technology for the masses!! What an incredible opportunity!
Impressive! Worth the money? Absolutely!
I love the liltle intricit details in all parts which make difference when all put together.
Where has this channel been!! This is so great!!!
Hadn't heard the new intro yet but...this is 80x better than the old one.
Having owned BMWs these engines are a steal at that price. Yes I’d buy them.
Although its even way more expensive than German expert ... however the name hes selling is probably from formula technology and skill + Ex Mugen engineer title . Its worth it for his stuff and reliability
He’s worth it man everything is built like he’s building it for he’s own personal car you can’t buy that craftsmanship anywhere In the us …
What a cool clip from cpt Bradford, also I'm amazed by the Shutoko song!
As always, very interesting interview🙏🏽💪🏽💥🔥
I appreciate the torque of a turbo engine, but the response and spirit of a tuned N/A engine is something that has to be felt in order to understand.
Neck snappers 😎 Volkswagen Rabbit back in the day glued to the pavement with only 150 whp and that thing made people smile on the daily.
Really love these videos, thanks for all your work!
Thank you for remind us and working to translate Ktech i remember the interview on f20c kit. Thank you
nice to see a new upload :)
Awesome video! Love the technical explanation and the attention to detail from K-Tech
That Gran Turismo music is nice to hear. I feel nostalgic.
@Cebastean_Larocchelle may i know title of that song?
@@Barry_chopstick Akira Sudou - Love Does Not Sleep
@@a2ka1976 thank you very much! What a banger song! 🤩
I love Japan!Is my second country in my heart.🇬🇷🇯🇵🇬🇷🇯🇵
If hes slightly earlier he would be building Senna's engine ... that will be worth $100k $200k rather $30k :)
the s2000 already revvs fast affffff i couldnt even imagine this
I love the content! A Very insightful Interesting interview!
Those pistons look like jewels all polished up and under glass.
New to the channel but man ive been missing out. Love the style of vid
About time someone did a video on Makoto Kawashima - you should expand on this and do a video at the workshop (it's like a surgical room) and seeing an engine on the bench dyno being tested would be brilliant :).
Akira Sudo, Love not Sleep, Shuto Kousoku MAX. The Memories!
All of a sudden i want a K-Tech Honda and to rev it to the moon!
My favorite episode please go to his shop! 🙏🏽

But in answer to your question, N/A tune all the way baby (he says looking at his tubby tintop mr2 and tubby saab90002.3 daily 😏)!
Interesting to listen to the method and reasoning behind the design
thank you for all the episodes :)
what is the music at the end please ?
Awesome real race tuning content.
We need you to list to us top Japanese music suitable for daily driving please!
Initial D soundtrack put on replay since '98.
I second that.
@@Pepe-dq2ib Wrong young buck it's Akira Sudou- "Love does not sleep" from Shuto Kousoka 6 1995 or 1996😄
Wow great video, great interview ,super great tuner!!! Thanks for making this video!!
This was awesome to watch.
those are some Exotic materials they are using. That's legit formula car stuff
When I hear that intro music it just makes me think of an opening theme for an anime.
just wondering if there's any equivalent for jza80... running an NA and not a fan of forced induction, thanks
K Tech + Turbo + Other mods = Enough power to burn the streets !
Will fuck together 🤣🤣🤣
I'm just glad I can understand what's being said 🥳
Thats a nice Sudou Akira's song in your video :)
This is the man who must work on my DC5 Type R. 😁
Seems like the CRANK could use a DiET too. After dropping weight up Top, because it needs "balanced".
DAMMMMMM, awesome interview

WOW ITS MY FIRST TIME SEEING AN F1 PISTON!!!!😳😳😳
Nice video. Thank you.
Captain, is that Akira Sudou- Love Does Not Sleep?
Where do you find there parts? I can only find engines for sale but not rods and pistons
11:20
WAIT!
this man thinked about fluid cavitation????!!!!
HES A MASTER!!!!
I want that square F215 so bad and yes I wouldn’t think twice to buy it if I had the money.
I wish this kind of engines were built for mazda vehicles too 😕, is there any tuner that works on mazda engines there in Japan?
This is phenomenal
Where can I buy the same Honda sweather you are wearing in this video? Buy the way great video. Thanks
Thanks for the jewels great video!!!
Hi can you give me advise what race engine that fit in hyundai eon car?

anyone know the music used in the backgroundd? quite groovy
