varner88's build..
 

Some of you know what ive been up to latley some of you havnt so i decided to make a build thread to show my progress and whats going on.

anywayi bought a k24a1 awhile back with 40k on it with the plans on doing a oem build tsx rods pistons k20 or tsx head type s oiling system. anyway ill be updating this with the parts i get and when i start the actua build up of the motor.

alright so far i got:

complete k24a1
complete k24a2 tsx head with rsx type s cams
k20a2 oil pump
k24a2 aluminum intake mani and tb.

this weekend im picking up the following for my build

ep3 trans with 24k
act stage 2 clutch
type s flywheel
tsx rods and pistons
type s intake mani and tb with all sensors
dc sport k24 race header.

Spend a bit more and go for the 6-speed. :-D

Re: varner88's build..
 

good luck with your build man! :tup:

Re: varner88's build..
 

good luck bro, i wouldnt know where to start.

Re: varner88's build..
 

6spd trans is horrible the gears in them are weak and break easy and not to mention there always consistantly breaking. ep3 has nice agressive gearing . proven to be a lil stronger then the 6spd not to mention im getting it for a steal of a price lol.

also the clutch is coming with the trans only has like 10k on it i beleive ima use it to get my swap going and when it starts to slip ill replace it.

Re: varner88's build..

Re: varner88's build..

Re: varner88's build..

Re: varner88's build..
 

tsx one came with my tsx head. i need the type s tb to run on either intake mani anyway cuz tsx is drive by wire. i havnt decided which mani im using yet but its prob gonna be the type s one. here i took a shot with the tsx one

Re: varner88's build..
 

drive by wire... ur talking about the throttle cable right?...i rmemeber i got an accord for a rental and the throttle was all like computer controlled....the throttle body opend up by the computer instead of a cable..

Re: varner88's build..
 

it's amazing when this is installed and done...

Re: varner88's build..
 

ya works by the comp not a cable

Re: varner88's build..
 

also ive heard better things with the 5-spd with the k24...

Re: varner88's build..
 

This is just kinda a Kswap question but how come when you you swap a K series into a civic the motor sets on the passenger side of the car and in an RSX it sets on the drivers side?? I have always been curious about that?

Re: varner88's build..
 

^they sit the same in both cars

Re: varner88's build..
 

yea the both sit on the same side they dont get changed.

Re: varner88's build..

Re: varner88's build..
 

kpro

Re: varner88's build..

Re: varner88's build..

Re: varner88's build..

im interested in this build aswell good luck with it

Re: varner88's build..
 

add me to the 7thgen SOCK List... :D

Re: varner88's build..
 

Varner you do know the RBC intake manifold bolts directly up to the TSX head... you dont need to modify jack shit.. its only $167 thats cheap. its a pain in the ass to change the IM out once its in your car.. trust me. might as well pick up a IMG as well.

Re: varner88's build..
 

yea im getting a IMG from hondata and isnt the prb bolt up as well? im gettin a prb with all sensors fuel rail injectors an tb an sensors for 125 lol.. cant beat that

Re: varner88's build..
 

^^ wtf hell of a deal..

Re: varner88's build..
