Re: k24/20 finally done
 

Very nice. Get some numbers in asap.

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

what is a k20a? - whats the difference between it and your stock motor.

You should consider a 4g63t

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

K series

D series.. what comes stock on 01-05 civic

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

I lol'd.. nice frank swap.. in for more stuff when you come back home, stay safe :tup:

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

bump

what else do u think would help me get some more power out of this frank.come on guys

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

turbo!!!!

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

200 shot, and 35psi from a gt42r :hgrin:

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

lol how did i know i was gonna get either a turbo or go spray answer..well for now im not gonna turbo but when i get back in june i wanna turbo the shit out of it..

well besides turno or spray is there anything else lol

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

cams

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

yea internals and prep for turbo... if i were you i would decide on what i wanted to do... either N/A or F/I and then go from there. just my .02 cents from one soldier to another... assuming that you are army. :lol:

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

You can also pick up a supercharger for it. When you SC those motors, they fly. Also, I cant really tell what kind of intake that is... it looks homemade? If you wont be doing FI anytime soon, then buy an intake.

Building a K is a lot like building a D.
Internals for the head- valves, springs, retainers, cams
Internals for the bock- pistons, rods, crank
You could also Pnp, but do it after you have everything done.

And yes, either turbo, supercharger, or nitrous, or a combo with the latter. Then you can mess with manifolds and all of that. Do you have an exhaust yet? The cats off the K series are restrictive- picking up the random tech downpipe will free up a little more power and make it more responsive- which is much more noticeable when your running with FI.

What else could you do... clutch, flywheel.. I think thats about all your options.

You already running Kpro, so your well on your way to being able to really tune the shit outta that thing.

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

ok triz... break it down more why don't ya! :lol: but great info...

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

whatever route you decide to go I highly recommend upgrading to the s2k oil pump if you didnt already upgrade to the rsx-s one

welcome to the Frank Club

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

Nice upgrade, I'm a bit green with envy.

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

so which one would you recommend?? rsx-s or s2k??

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

if he did the rsx one i would stick with it but if he is still running the k24 oil pump i would go with the s2k oil pump. both are good but s2k is a little better

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

im runnin the k20 oil pump and was gonna stick with it

i wanna eventually turbo it..

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

oh ok good info!

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

ok so for all the guys info who are helpin me out here, i will tell you my plans with the motor..

wanna fully re do the bottom end..crank, rods, pistons, sleeve, balance and hone.

with the head pnp, valves, cams, etc. s

pretty much im gonna re build the whole motor and i wanna turbo it and look for like 600hp in the area some where..

for now i have it stock and i might throw a 100 shot on there for shits and giggles..all this work wont be done til june cause thats when i will be home...

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

600 hp??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? wow

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

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

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

^ 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.

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

^i concur

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

nobody said hondata KPRO???

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

he already has it

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

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?

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

lol you posted here?! 16x7 205/45

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

im running 235x35x17 tires 17x8 wheels....

I have always thought that Civic wheels are too small....:shrug:

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

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:

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

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
 

did u get a drop yet?

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

nah i havent got the drop yet. im home for 2 weeks only then goin back to iraq so that will be done when i get home in june

Re: k24/20 finally done
 

you should check for codes in KPRO...

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
 

nice man looks good

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
