The Kswap Thread

[XB-16-AX]

Awesome result from a stock motor! I'm aiming for similar results with my motor, only difference between setups is I'll be running K20 oil pump, should free up 1 or 2kw lol

Cool man, he was going to put a k20 oil pump, but he ran out of time.

Ive got a s2000 moroso pump on my k24 block..im just deciding on whether if im going to do the internals whilst the block us open..

Let us know how u go once you put your parts together and well go for a cruise once im back on the gold coast..

What are you looking for from the setup? Want to rev a bit higher with that K20 head? or jsut after more compression?

Yeah mate im keen as for a cruise when you're back in town!

Yeh just looking at being able to rev abit more for track use.

And the internals just for mire of stability and reliability on constant high revs..

Then if i get bored of NA, then I might put a turbo on it.. Just depends, but for now i need to put the pieces back together.. Oh wells..

What intake setup have u chosen?

We trialled fitted a SRI on iv73ci k24 and this time we can hear the vtec crossover louder and sounds so much linear .. Ill see if i can take a pic.. Its just a temp setup but doesnt get hot too from where we located the filter...

One thing I have noticed with k swaps. All the big built motors seem to get sold
Soon after their built. Could this be due to drivability issues?

I'm only looking at 150ish kw and want more of a reliability thing

[GSi_PSi]

One thing with most K swaps ive driven/been it etc..

They always smell like fuel .... i guess its because most people just leave the breather line of the fuel lines open to atmosphere and dont run the stock charcoal canister

myself included , silly me this was one of the things i hated about my ol rex and the solution is really quite simple

if i were to get/build another k swap car here how id do it.... i guess a lot of hard parkers would think this is just engine bay cluter but there is many ways
to hide it. And dont give me "oh my car doesnt smell and i dont run any of this " because trust me it does...... the smell usually comes after a drive and when that whiff comes
prepare to get a nasty ass headache.

Good post Sami ^^

Just use braided lines and it will look good anyway

[mocchi]

not all braided line, needs to be teflon lined
otherwise additives in fuel will still permeate out on rubber hose
just like those brown layer of shit on our oem rubber lines

[GSi_PSi]

+1 to teflon lined....

i gotta get me a kswap again but i want all the little luxories lol like not smelling like shit after a long drive,

[EG5]

do most of the k swappers out there go for, hybrid racing parts, ktuned ? etc

what is the best value for money ?

We've been using Hasport mounts since our 1st K20A swap back in 2004.
Reliable product , Good customer service

K Tuned , Hybrid Racing , Karcept
They are all good products with similar price range

V3 is looking heaps better

I have the old version and the alloy locking nut failed on me at the track, belt came off and cut through the oil cooler line...

doesnt seem that good there
did ktuned send you guys any replacement?
