    The Kswap Thread

    Don't think we have a dedicated Kswap thread yet... a place for everyone to share their knowledge/experience/thoughts.

    Plenty of info on the swap etc on K20a.org etc, but would be great to see more local stuff

    Go for it

    140kw with oem parts is pretty nice in lightweight chassis.
    i just hope price in parts would go down

    just to contribute:
    Swapping Cams - Timing chain - K24
    on the k24 you line up the dots on the cam gears between the two colored marks on the chain
    on the k20 you line up the dots on the cam gears right on the colored marks on the chain

    k20 chain has a total of 3 marks
    k24 chain has a total of 5 marks

    DO NOT LINE THE TIMING CHAIN DOTS ON ONE LINK...line the dots in between LINKS...this is for the k24 block only

    1. Set the crankshaft to top dead center (TDC). Align the TDC mark (A) on the crankshaft sprocket with the pointer (B) on the engine block.


    2. Set the camshafts to TDC. The punch mark (A) on the variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator and the punch mark (B) on the exhaust camshaft sprocket should be at the top. Align the TDC marks (C) on the VTC actuator and exhaust camshaft sprocket.


    3. Install the cam chain on the crankshaft sprocket with the colored piece (A) aligned with the punch mark (B) on the crankshaft sprocket.


    4. Install the cam chain on the VTC actuator and the exhaust camshaft sprocket with the punch marks (A) aligned with the center of the two colored pieces (B).

    agreed such and expensive swap with 8-15k give or take for a k swap
    8-15k for a b series will get you wrapped around a pole,

    though i could imagine the torque and realiabilty,

    While i've been collecting parts for my swap, I've found I've been liking the Hybrid Racing products quiet a lot. HR tend to do alot of the hard work regarding R&D on new Kswap specific parts ie: shifter box/cables etc, whereas Ktuned always seem to be that one step behind, often releasing their own version of a HR designed product.

    Price wise, fairrrrly similar I guess, from what i've experienced. You've pretty much got the choice of using OEM parts cheaply, or fork out for the nice equivalent parts from HR/Ktuned.

    Both are awesome quality though, I think Hybrid Racing.com and Ktuned.com are my two favourite sites these days lol...

    Using a mix of hybrid racing and Oem mostly. Towards the 15k on a k24 swap gets u some nice goodies with it.

    U can do the swap cheap or pay the bit extra for a much better set up. Not a fan of 5sp or euro 6sp swaps.

    I thought about building the b but the k is a better platform, better Oem power and torque with much much more potential plus newer and reliability

    Yup, that's pretty much sums up why I chose to Kswap exactly.
