Frankenstein swap?

k24 with a k20a2 head

byaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

i look forward to seeing more with this

are there special mounts for the K24 or can u just use the hasport ones? for example i have a A3 swap with hasport mounts if i wanted to go K24 can i use the same mounts. Im intrested in doing this also.

i believe the tranny mount is different, but hybrid is working on that

Have fun, want to give us the details of what your planning to do?

you have to use a k20 tranny. hasport makes a special mount for the k24. and with the k24a4, you will have valve clearance issues. you should have gotten a k24a1

Well he might have gotten his very cheap like I got mine (< $800) and would be planning to swap pistons down the line anyways.

nice!

so k24a1 is the motor to get? with any frank setup get you run the si 5 speed tranny?

Whats the status of your build btw?

you can run any k20 tranny. 6 or 5 speed. the problem with the k24 tranny's are that the case is too big

my custom pistons and rods are done. they are at the build shop with my sleeved block. i still need my head to get done. i just got a tsx tranny. i am putting those in a type S tranny case with a 4.4 finial= longer gears.

if you look at my profile. i have the finished setup of the block there.

So when you drop a k24 in what subframe do you use?

FYI, i hope your not planning ont TRYING To attempt to put a K20 head on the K24a4 every where that i have read on different forums said thats the only engine you cant put a k20 head on.

well... i had/still have the chanc to get a K20a2 block, engine with tranny for like $500. only problem, needs intake mani... i held of for a few months now, i want it but i dont want to go through the hassle of getting all the parts, but i think itll be cheaper to get a full clip, since i got an Auto and all... so what your 2 cents??? should i get it and get the parts and Frank it, or get it, and turbo it?!

also i get teh axles, injectors, harness, and brakes, for the 5-lugger if i want.. but i like my rota and dont wanna lose them

It fits, you just need to have aftermarket or TSX, or CRV pistons. The accord pistons will hit the valves of the k20 head.

yeah i knew about that, but wasnt there also something to do with the oil something lol *cant think of the name.* like a passage not being there or sometihng.

Yeah, you'll have to do away with the oil cooler passage in the block unless you have a machine shop do it for you.

Oh hell no bro I did alot of research on the k24's all of them and what works and what wont. I pulled the pistons and rods crank stripped her bare.... im going 13.5:1 Custom JE Pistons with some IB K24 I Rods. Then a Type S head with IPS k2 cams, and a quaife LSD 6-speed Tranny...

hey honda luver will the EP3 axles fit the frank swaps?

yeah people do use the type S oil pan and system.. I just picked up an oil pan and baffle from a type s.

If you get stuck look here:

yeah bro I have been reading thatand asking lots of questions.

there is also some helpful info in this thread as well. http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=429571

Good job on all that research man! the only way i learned was lots of readings and thread searching. and alot of trial and error. usually the only reason i will help people now is if they can prove that they atleast tried to search for their answer and got nothing. hit me up if you need any help.

the ep3 axles willl work perfectly. are you going to run this on pump gas? or is this a track car?

Pump gas 91 octane V-POWER from shell... nikos from k20a.org was running a 13.5:1 compession k24 on 90 pump octane.

Thanks for the help bro I will keep you updated on my build up.
