Hey guys i am seriously considering getting a k24 atm as i am looking for large power upgrade i have a dc2R with minor mods 2 the motor,i have realized the performance i am seeking will set me back big time if i stick with the b18c7 and also it will put immense pressure on the engine, i am posting this thread hopefully to get some response on few things ill need with the k24 and what other mods i can add to create harder reving and would the dc5r or dc5s gearbox b better
check ebay, look at the for sale area etc to find out how much the engine is worth... no selling for newcomers
Deep pockets?
What kind of performance are you seeking? why not just turbo the b18c? P plater?
Go to Good performance in Yennora and talk to them about it. Tell them what you want and they know what they're doing.
Sell your old setup for 4-5k, add another 5-9k+ on top for the motor, gearbox (one with lsd), and all the custom bits and work inc installation, engine mounts to fit, ecu, k-swap headers and an exhaust made, drive shafts, then theres the matter of engineering to make it road legal and alot more sh!t needed....etc
And if you do go k24, go k24 bottom end with a k20 top along with some headwork/internals, I/H/E, + aftermarket ecu tune. After all this is done 20k+ spent. Not worth it imo.
Some advice is to buy a pre swapped integra or eg/ek etc which has the k24 already and just work on that.
Good question about the gearbox. My mate is doing a similar setup on his DC2R with a k20, question is how to differentiate the DC5 Type R and the Type S (non-LSD) gearbox.
Is there a difference in serial numbers?...
good advice thereQuote:

i found that it was all actually worth it..
K swap is definatly worth it, its keeping with the times, i would recommend going K20A type R motor straight up though. and building it
definately a TODA build lol... also a good friend Tim with the silver DC5R up here in QLD is dominating up here 2.1L N/A
hunting down the GTR's in the corners lol
also what are your plans??? Circuit, Drag, or just power on the street???
yeh nah i always like even with my older integra wanted 2 do a k24 swapp my motor atm runs pretty good got a 13.8 pass wif it but im realising if i wan massive gains itll cost me alot and put enourmous pressure on the motor so yeh nd lol i don have deep pockets wish i did :( but i got enough :D nd yeh i wan good around the track its already set up that way but lookin 4 some more speed on the straights aswell i would b cheering with a 12sec pass high or low don bother me much :D
yeh nah i always like even with my older integra wanted 2 do a k24 swap i favoured them over k20 all the time 4 some odd reason :D but yeh my motor atm runs pretty good got a 13.8 pass down d 1/4 mile wif it but im realising if i wan massive gains itll cost me alot and put enourmous pressure on the motor so yeh nd lol i don have deep pockets wish i did :( but i got enough :D nd yeh i wan good around the track its already set up that way but lookin 4 some more speed on the straights aswell i would b cheering with a 12sec pass high or low don bother me much :D
Build the b18c7, so then it can take the "ENOURMOUS PRESSURE" wokr out ten times cheaper then k20/24 swap.... and you will have the potential to break the 12 second barrier.
If your simply looking for a little more torque for around the street and track and opens up for further upgrades later down the track, look into the B20Vtec..
Your best option is to have a bit of a research and find out exactly what you want!
Go through the all motor threads http://http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/...p?20-All-Motor.
After you have a look through there jump on google and search
B18c turbo
B20vtec
k20/24 swap into dc2
that should get you on your way. good luck
