A Spotlight on Hector Cuesta's Red EG Build : AHC Meet

Ennio Delacruz

This past weekend, I attended the Acura Honda Classic Meet in Miami, FL, on November 17, 2024. This meet never disappoints, with a fantastic turnout and an impressive array of Florida's finest Honda and Acura builds. Among the many cars on display, one that truly caught my eye was a red EG Civic owned by Hector Cuesta.


The Build: 1992 Honda Civic EG

Hector’s EG is a perfect blend of style and performance, showcasing both meticulous craftsmanship and functional upgrades. Built on a 1992 Honda Civic EG chassis, the car features a K24A2 stock block paired with a K20Z3 transmission. Let’s take a closer look at some of the standout performance parts that power this beast:


Engine and Intake Upgrades

  1. Skunk2 Ultra Series Race Intake Manifold (Silver)
    Designed for high-performance applications, this intake manifold optimizes airflow for maximum power gains.
  2. K-Tuned 80mm Throttle Body
    A must-have for increased airflow and throttle response, ideal for K-swaps and high-output builds.
  3. K-Tuned Fuel Rail (Black)
    Precision-engineered to deliver reliable fuel flow, even under demanding conditions.
  4. K-Tuned Standard Feed Fuel Line Kit paired with a Fuelab 818 In-Line Fuel Filter and Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator ensures consistent and optimal fuel delivery.
  5. K-Tuned Header
    Enhances exhaust flow for improved performance.
  6. K-Tuned EP3 Pulley Kit
    Reduces weight for better engine response.
  7. K-Tuned Valve Cover Breather Filter
    Keeps the engine bay clean while venting crankcase pressure.

Cooling System

  1. K-Tuned Swivel Thermostat
    Provides a clean, tucked look while improving cooling efficiency.
  2. CSF Radiator Cap
    A reliable solution for high-pressure systems.
  3. SpeedFactory Racing Aluminum Tucked Radiator
    Perfect for keeping temperatures in check, even during spirited driving.

Drivetrain & Mounting Solutions

  1. Hasport K Swap Mount Kit
    Ensures a solid and precise fit for the K-series engine.
  2. Insane Shafts 36MM Axles
    Built for durability and performance under the most demanding conditions.

    Why This Build Stands Out

    Hector’s attention to detail and thoughtful part selection make this EG a standout at any meet. The integration of high-quality parts from brands like K-Tuned, Skunk2, and SpeedFactory Racing not only boosts performance but also showcases the potential of the Honda K-swap platform.
