since were all friends here i guess ill tell you first. i came up on a k24 block, im looking for a k20a2 or k20a R head.

 

my plans for it are:

-bore to 2.6

-ips cams

-bdl throttle body

-bdl fuel rail

-rcrew header

-3'' header back exhaust

-k pro

-custom cai

-custom pistons, etc from ips

-karcepts shift kit

-jdm dc5 itr transmission

-hasport motor mounts

 

looking to make at least 300 whp

 

grand total: like 12-15k

 

i know its a lot but its what i want, to some it might not seem worth it but im weird like that. i was inspired by sportcar motions big block integra that made like 308 whp with this set up.

Are you gonna fix the one bent rod before you sell your old engine? That might be a stupid question but it would seem like you could make more money that way for a small amount of work.

 

By the way, that build sounds impressive. Expensive, but impressive.

I saw a car for sale in south florida (it's on honda-tech, i think), but it's a white type r with a k20 swap in it. motherfracker moves. I think they managed to find a way to keep the a/c in it, but I could be severely mistaken. I know it has either a/c or p/s, can't remember which one.

 

All in all, it's a bad motherfracker.

 

Good luck on the build Miss Nancy, I'm without a car so.. Build something I'll want LOL.
