Both a K20 and a K24 will require a eng cert going into a EM1 chassis. So same steps to get it registered, imo i'd go 2.4

So thw bigger the engine cc means the better the brakes should be.
Too much hassle.
But will a k20z shit on k24 both standard form in an ek/em?
Btw cant wait to see ur dc2 finished @ BYP workshop..
I've had experience with many K-Swaps, and i always prefer the K24 over a K20 swap, ESP for daily driving. Peak power isnt everything :P
as in just boltons and tune?
k24 will have similar peak power as k20, though it (2lt) wont have anywhere near as much grunt from 1000-6000 rpm
k24 is pretty much better in every way
chuck on 50vtc and tsx intake came, k20 oil pump and you'll have a ripper of an engine
plus.... your going from a 150kw b20, doubt you'd be all that impressed with a k20.
yep, loved the low end /midrange power on the gold byp k24 even though it was pretty basic. felt great to be pushed into your seat by 4k rpm. nice to drive in traffic minus the power steering (or lack of it lol)Quote:

How are brakes effected since the test are at stopping the car 80km/hr? K-series engine isn't much heavier then a B series setup. Emission test should be ok since the K series engines are alot younger esp K24 which are 06/07.Quote:

Only reason y im leaning towards the k20;
1) redlines longer
2) better matched for my long term plan going the snail route.
3) if ever the k20 block blows, i would then frank it to the k24.. (if i decide to stay the NA route).
4) vtec sounds louder :p
Ok after so many chats and home work.. Ive leaned towards a k24 ftw!
nice!
So im hoping to get 150fwkw ... Well i hope so with the below supporting parts;
PRB IM port matched 70mm TB
50Deg VTC
650cc injectors
Works engineering fuel rail
Ktuned 4-2-1 headers
2.5inch zorst
Lightened flywheel
Tuned KPro on E85
Custom CAI
U reckon its achievable??
Wot are the figures ppl nowadays achieving on stock k24?
