K24 swap

[OCR]

im thinking about swaping out my f22a1 for a K24.... im wondering what everyone thinks about this swap and if its worth it. thanks

You have to do a lot of modifications I think. Just set for a JDM H22 and you're set. Much easier.

good point thanks for the info ... but im still gona keep the idea open and still wana know what people think... the main reason im thinking of a K24 is that everyone is swaping in H22s and H23s and i wana do somthing different.

Go with an F20, thats unique, and allot easier and less expensive.

if ya wanna be unique...get a v6 in there!

There's a huge ass thread on it, hasn't been done yet...be the first!

...and give me credit for the idea ...

I guess you can probably use the hasport kit thats for the CD5 accord, that would be my best bet, the accord engine bay is pretty good start, since we already have a fairly big engine. I imagine it wont be to different from the CD5 accord, you should look into some of the CD5 accords and do some research on that K-swap, i think it will be really helpful

k20 is in the process with one member and 24 will be in progress soon. if ya dont wanna spend the money then do a H2B swap.

[zigg_1311]

what member is doing the K20 swap, i would like to see if he has anybody pictures of his progress

why in the world would he do an H2B?

[deevergote]

Yeah, that lost me as well...


The reason nobody has done a K series swap is that the cost is VERY high to justify the reason of "everyone else has an H already". If you can fabricate, it'll be much cheaper... probably just the cost of the engine. The K24 engine is quite cheap, and the K20 R or S head can be put on there at a later time for a wicked hybrid motor.

Still, the mounts have to be figured out. The wiring, fuel, coolant, shift linkage, and header would all need to be custom. The K24 is underpowered compared to the H22, and the best K20 isn't all that much better. For the price of a stock K swap, even the crappy K24, you'd be able to make considerable power with an H22.

So, to be different, it's a great idea... if you can afford it (or have the tools and skills to pull it off). However, the cost of being different isn't really worth it, IMO. We are THOROUGHLY spoiled by the drop-in H22!

K24 would be different, but a J series V6 would be worth the effort



this is what the J looks like in a civic engine bay....it is only a matter of time until someone puts one of these in the CB7 chassis.
