U can get hard race ones from jdmyard. F7 is the bomb though ! Make sure u get ep3 ones ..as una91 said, diff bolt pattern from dc5.
anyone here done k20/k24 with there ep3? im looking of doing a kfrank
or working the k20 motor instead of kfrank less costly and more reliable?
Have heard good things about GD Sandblasting & Powder Coating in east side melb, think around $80 per wheel.Quote:

Install and tune.
Well mate that's your opinion.Quote:

You confuse me.Quote:

Do it once, do it right.
You buy k24 block, rebuild it - w/e that maybe. OEM wit just new rings, new oil/water, bearings etc etc all the up to rods high comp pistons.
Once your k24 block is ready, you remove your k20. Take the head apart and get it serviced.
Then install the head on the k24 block and install into your car.
If your talking about straight swap k20a for a K24a3. Then I think your confused yourself. Cos that's not worth the money or effort.
They both make 147kW, k24 makes more tq, but k20 has true vtec + 50deg VTC. I know which one I'd stay with.
once again your opinion. And I respect it.Quote:
