Fd k24 swap

**blastnpast** · 05-10-2011 03:25 PM

Ozhonda,

I have been researching about the lack of power the FD2 K20Z engine provides it consumers and was wondering if anyone in AUS has completed a K24 Swap or even a K24 bottom end with a K20z or k20a head placed into an FD. I have seen a few vids in the US and is sorta looks like people over there are doing this Frankenstein swap daily.

I have heard about the k24/k20 built engines in some cars here like in an EG or DC2 But never found out about the price and time it would take to complete in an FD. (If only Australia was provided the FD2R I would be happy to purchase one).

Fd2 does not have a k20z engine that's why you have no power

isnt it r18a or something

**H0TPOT** · 05-10-2011 04:22 PM

r18a i think is in the fd1's or vti-ls
k20 in the fd2

i stand corrected lol

yes it's possible, I've looked into it and spoken to a person who has done it
mechanically you need to reuse the stock sump, a CRV mount for K20/24 frank and only some FD2R headers will clear with the taller block
of course don't forget the flashpro for tuning, a DC5R oil pump is also nice to have.

haha bs engine anyway, has 11 kw more then the r18 engine and weighs 80kg more in the 'sport' chassis then the vti sedan

vti = 1210 kg (manuel)
sport = 1290kg (manuel)

and op
modproject in melbourne swaped a k20z4 (out of a fn2 type r audm) in a fd vti
