paid for my clearance today... and OMG so glad i got the exhaust express...
ok cylinder head cost me AUS$270 for shipping (meant to be 6-10days)...
then i paid AUS$354 for GST, duty, and customs fees + $130 broker fees...
$754 ontop of what i paid for the head and the headwork! :O sooo gay!
any pics yet??????????
making me want to change to a RBC manifold as well.... mate..... bad influence.
if your interested, im thinking of making up a complete set of:
RBC (ported to 66mm and modded to fit K24 block)
J32A3 throttle body (port and polished. plus modded to fit RBC)
Custom 3" intake with K&N pod...
all parts needed to complete the swap including doing a throttle body coolant bypass and including a full set of instructions...
and selling it as a pack...
yea me 2
haha well obviously the first one i sell would be cheap because i dont know what gains itll get... afer proven gains thou... oh damn will the price go up :p lol
i finally finished one of my headlights... it still needs a clean, but here ya go:

lights looks great. well i happen to have a stock euro and conveniently live in canberra...
Mine is still making power at 7600 rpm
Stock k24a3 2005 spec with ITR 50 degree VTC
JDMyard Intake manifold + 80mm TB , JDMyard 4-2-1 header , 3 inch exhaust , Metal cat , KPRO

where the f*** did you come from 156kw?!!?
holy 156kw what a beast
Whats a JDM Intake Manifold and 80mm TB ???
Nice result. Fking nice.
its not in a euro guys calm down lol
im guessing the JDMyard intake manifold he used is the PRB?... used on the majority of K20s...and they mod it to fit bigger TBs? and the 80mm TB could only be used on the euro if you converted it to cable throttle, not drive-by-wire...
but daaaaaaaammmmmnnnnn thats a nice K24 build! if mine works well, i reckon i should sell the euro, take the engine out, and slap it into a lotus elise.... mmmmmmm super light weight rear wheel drive speed demon!
hehe and yes EG5 i agree with you, my euro was making max power at 7400rpm... i reckon with a 8000redline or higher thered be even more power to be had! :D
Sorry to hijack your thread.
But this is what JDMyard Intake manifold set up look like
Proven 11.82sec @ 113.6 mph down the 1/4 mile on my EG hatch chasis.
Stock k24a3 internals!

Droools....

woops, forgot to crop
paint skilz fail, lol
nice!!good luck with the build!
damn man what a beaut.
That port is absolutely clean.
Please get a SA ECU and a tune. Do justice!
What is a SA ECU ? Is that a ecu that can be used with stock features? News to me.
SA = standalone
Just a quick note to all you Euro owners looking at buying an RBC...
DO NOT PURCHASE ONE THAT IS MODDED TO FIT DC5 or OTHER K20...
For the Euro you want the unmodded RBC off either a JDM EuroR or USDM 2006-2007 civic SI...
that is all...
Damm this mod is not exclusive anymore LOL!....
Me + Justin + Soon Suntzu?
Yep Im crunching the numbers on RBC versus flywheel + exedy stage1 versus the sucky exchange rate. Might sit it out for a bit and see if we get back to 90cent in the dollar.
I also have to find a thread or something on how to do the nipple mod (whatever that entails) so i can make sure I can handle it with my basic toolset.
RBC - say approx AUS$400 landed
Flywheel/Clutch - say approx $1600 installed
buy it! :D
you'll be the third RBC euro in aus! :p hahaha
Why do you need the P2R spacer? Is it needed?
Im getting a new gasket as part of the deal.
And I have a hondata headshield gasket on the Intake Manifold and when i do the throttle body heat bypass i cant see how the TB would get any heat....
Im being a sissy about :p it due to the potential loss of torque with my basic mods. The comparative graph of mine and justins dyno shows i have more torque in the crucial 3000-5000 rpm area which is where you drive in traffic. He has a lot more peak power but thats not going to help me drivign home each day.
Thats why im vasilating on the flywheel and clutch option and annoying everyone with my indecisions.
well i can't use the stock manifold or TB with it as it leaves a gap which can't be covered hence why my car was bouncing revs and popping like pop tarts :thumbsup: i know i am lame hahaaaa
but don't you have like a gap in using the spacer? or does your TB you changed it to not have that feature?
maybe you have wrong spacer :eek:
mine fits perfectly... it does have the rectangle cut out, but thats blocked off by the TB... (you'll notice theres a flat alluminium bit under the inlet)
and suntzu: the spacer increase the capacity of the plenum, this leaves more air available to the cylinders... increasing torque and power (not by much) but a little... P2R say theyve got 4.5hp gain atw... now if thats true, thats 3.3kw atw... thats 3300w of energy... thats double the power required to aircondition a normal sized house!
ive ordered another RBC, and 3x J32A3 throttle bodies lol
so if your keen, ill happily make a kit up for you... and we'll do before/after dyno's :D
hahaha also just ordered enough parts to make 2x more complete 3" cold air intakes to fit the J32A3 TB on an RBC...
What was the price of the throttle body? I'd buy one off you if it works. :)
I want to know if the TB actuator wiring for the Euro will properly operate the J32's actuator. :D
rofl, i find the CAI is actually louder than the SRI (exposed).
would be awesome to hear it justin.
rofl!!!
now THERE's a marketing gimic for you!!
haha
