yea 600..it seems like a reasonable goal..i wont wanna use that much power when im normally driving but would be nice to have...atleast 350-400 will satisfy me

Re: k24/20 finally done
 
dont get me wrong i wanna do this build right and all..im gonna beef up the supension, tranny, and get some slicks and all for when i wanna unleash the whip at the track...

Re: k24/20 finally done
 
600 is a good obtainable number

^ i agree... well remember that with you wanting to go turbo that when you start to build the bottom end that you get low compression pistons, etc. pretty much build it with going turbo in mind... hell do that before you put the nitrous on... just my .02 cents again.

motor-
k24a1 block
k20a2 head
stock internals
k pro
15x8 rims/ need drop bad

all comments are welcomed thx guys

wow 15x8 are those track tires? i would go more with 17 i am pretty sure they can fit with a lower profile tire. Sniperscout what size are you running now?

well for the track 15's or 16's are better supposedly cuz of something... but i can't remember the words right now. i can't say shit tho... i got 18's...:lol:

yeah thats why i was asking. thats a good size for track tires but for street wheels. i would go bigger. just too much side wall on the 15's for me...

rotation mass and weight is what makes the 15 better for the track. cause the 2 lbs different is alot more when spinning...

exactly thats why i got the 15's its less centrifugal force to be hauling around.. i had 18's with a super low pro but after 3 or 4 sets of tires that got to expensive. i was just gonna keep the 15's on and drop my car and call it a day.

YES I HAVE K PRO...its the way to go if your k powered and i dont wanna halp ass this build at all.

low compression pistons..roger.. go it.. i will get ever low compression when i get back from this hell hole. what turbo would u recommend guys

Re: k24/20 finally done
 
ok im finally home and i taken the care out for a lil cruise..

Since its 10 degrees here it game me a super hard time to start, but after it started i smelt like tranny fluid bein burned or gears in the tranny..who knows it might been from tryin to cold start it but anyways the smell is gone.

now when i first took off my check engine light came on, so i cruised it at a low rpm til i got home, i turned it off and then back on the light went away. Now everytime it keeps comin back on then turnin off after every restart.

I hope its not the motor already but im takin it to get scanned today to see what code it is..

any recommediations

Re: k24/20 finally done
 
you should check for codes in KPRO...

lilmidget08 01-18-2009 07:22 PM

Re: k24/20 finally done
 
do a rear disc conversion from a rsx or take the complete brake system from a rsx type s the rotors are bigger then yours and all that power that your new motor is puttin down needs to be slowed down sometime..good luck with it it looks great...........oh yea and the drop to..haha

Re: k24/20 finally done
 
well thxs guys for all the support, i wanna do the rear disc conversion but its gotta wait to june, i been messing around with kpro but really cant do anything ro i hook up the o2 sensor, i havent done it since i did the swap, ugh lol

what unit are you deployed with? i drill outta cherry hill currently

Re: k24/20 finally done
 
in hondata kpro it says error codes... look there and it will tell you what code it is throwing.. sounds like a Daughter Board Communication Error. which is nothing.

if you want 600hp grab a gt35r turbo and IPS KT1 cams.

yea i figured that part out, it was throwin a knock sensor code which means nothin because im using a k24 block and then a k20 head so obviously there is gonna be inteference but im just turnin it off with k pro

i went to get the o2 sensor wired up and the guy who did it whos a electrical engineer and also a bad ass mechanic had no idea how to install it off the DIY Xproduction but out, he was tellin me the wiring is all ghetto lol and all but then again i told him he did that DIY 4 years ago so it was the best he had back then,
so this weekend hes gonna re wire my whole ecu and then wire the o2 up and dyno it...

Mr_Plenty 01-31-2009 03:39 PM

Re: k24/20 finally done
 
daughter board communication error is something...it usually indicates drops in voltage. As for the knock sensor error although the knock sensor is basically a microphone I would still attempt to figure out the issue instead of using the kpro like a bandaid...good luck
