Rep Power: 255

I finally got the motor tuned today by Joe at Locash Racing in Phoenix,AZ. He pulled out 212hp and 178tq with an ambient temp of 110 degrees in his shop.

I built and swapped the whole thing in my garage
k24a8 block...k24a2 pistons and rods...k20a2 head...6spd K20a2 tranny
Heres the nearly finished product...I still have to relocate the radiator overflow reservoir, getting AC lines made tomorrow, and I want to do a quasi wire tuck

Holy crap! That engine bay is filled to the brim! Some sweet #'s man! I'm a bit jealous

 
Rep Power: 345

Nice!! Why do u have that PS return line routed like that?? I have mines going the other way so it doesnt stand out as much.

 
Rep Power: 261

wow thats ****ing nice! btw is that a real mugen strut tower or a replica? is it from a rsx too?

 
Rep Power: 236

so what is the wieght difference between a k20 or k24 and a d17? did you account for the wieght difference in your suspension?

 
Rep Power: 248

awesome torque number man. i thought the hp would be a bit higher but i bet the torque feels sweet.

 
Rep Power: 243

he made higher than any person with boost on 5-6 psi tuned with the dezod kit .. **** thats a niceeeeeeeee setup man nice numbers, 212 !!!!!!! 178 !!!! omggg maddd props

 
Rep Power: 241

i have a stock k24a1 bottom end with k20a2 head..do u think i'll get around the same numbers or what...

 
Rep Power: 280

Thats a big mama jamma under that hood and surprised it even fits. Congrats on the setup, I'm dying to know how it drives around town.

 
Rep Power: 349

Good deal, how much have you spent thus far?

 
Rep Power: 0

Highest documented that I have for 5-6 PSI with respect to power is:

An auto kit of ours running 5 PSI with a PnP head 208whp & 211ft/lbs

If you want utterly stock head, 5-6 PSI:

195whp, 184ft/lbs @ 5 PSI

 
Rep Power: 349

With stock head, stage III cam, old turbo, on 7 psi, I was over 220 whp....

But that's kickass for an auto, very impressive. Too bad there isn't much more it can handle before the tranny goes....

 
Rep Power: 255

if you use the k24a1 pistons....no

thx guys

I have probably broken the $6k mark...should have been lower but I got screwed on about $1500 worth of parts and had to buy kpro brand new

the guy who did the tune said on a day that wasn't so god damn hot the motor should have hit 220hp

I am not exactly sure what you mean...I have full tein coilovers upgraded rear sway and struts. I had to remove the front sway due to the header hitting it really hard. please elaborate on what you mean.

 
Rep Power: 243

yah how much have u spent ... thats key .... + u definately dont have the fun wee do with booost u just got faster , we go faster and go PSHHHHHHHH

 
Rep Power: 255

^ the dollar figure is in the previos post of mine. One thing i have that most of you boosted guys dont have is my motor has less than 100 miles on it. I built that thing from the crank up with new parts. So I am essentially making that much power on a stock honda motor which means my reliability is way higher. I am fully aware that some of you boosted guys actually do it correctly so you still have the reliability(andyman). I have no intentions on adding any more performance to the motor. I am done with performance mods. My goal was more power(than the d17) with reliability. My fast car is going to be my 1966 porsche 912.

COOL!! snipercout i have followed your build you did a great job on the whole thing. hae fun with it.

 
Rep Power: 349

^Hahaha, we all say that at one point or another. The bug always starts to itch at some point....

 
Rep Power: 255

Oh i want to add more. But I have strong will power and I know the 912 is a better platform for power. I can get my 912 to run circles around the em2 for less than 2 grand.

 
Rep Power: 243

lol .. sniper 6 grand is amazing for a k24 built swap .. my buddy just dropped a k20a2 for 8500 with kpro here in canada at a shop ... 6 grand is pretty damn good for a k24 built, i can't believe u wouldn't boost her and fly over ur porsche .. **** the circles lol

 
Rep Power: 251

about 6grand is all good k24 longblocks are cheap around here 800 and under. Just find a total rsxs and your good to go.

 
Rep Power: 255

I would rather have the 2095 lb, 45/55 weight ratio, RWD car with the power

 
Rep Power: 0

great build D. now bring it back over here and lets hit the track.... my N/a tuscani Vs your K24. you got me on all aspects... wight, Hp, and Tq. My car is still sexier though...

hurry up with that porsche though... i wanna see it done. should be alot different from the 98hp car i once drove.

you ever get the rest of your guage cluster working?

 
Rep Power: 365

and the looks! don't forget the looks!

 
Rep Power: 236

when i asked if u took the wieght difference into account when u swapped, I meant cuz if the engine is significantly heavier, wouldn't u have a lot more understeer with any aftermarket suspension designed for a car with a d17?

Also another thing i really wanted to know... do the hasport motor mounts make your car vibrate a lot? or does it not make that much of a difference? Would u say that it would be good to swap for a daily driver?

 
Rep Power: 255

there is a significant addition in the vibration. It isnt bad though. The car is my DD. I hear of some people replacing the rear mount on the subframe with the rsx mount to remove some of the vibration. I am unable to tell you any difference due to the extra weight, especially since I removed the front sway bar for my header

 
Rep Power: 0

so with out that front sway how does it handle? I got billit motor mounts on the tibby now and the vibration feels good... more aggressive feeling.
