K24 Bottom end rebuild need opinions

[amant02]

get 4 piston racing to build you a motor, get it shipped over, get Adrian at sas to tune it


and enjoy your 300+ naturally aspirated horseies on 98

hehe

oh and do yourself a massive favor- don't listen to amant, he is the village idiot.

Stock comp on a 'built' NA motor?
Stock rods as well?



A cheaper alternative would be to just find another k24, stick your current k20a head on and retune
Or find another k24 and get a 163 with appropriate cams/ valvetrain and tune on e85, amazing how much the americans are makeing with seemingly simple setups.

Talk to the pros and read up on k20a.org

I have a feeling you haven't attempted to build.

Please dont call me the village idiot, when your post make no sense.

The cost of making 300+ kfrank?

The weakness isn't in the rods, its the rod bolt that will hit its limit 1st on the k24. There a heaps more things that will go wrong before your stock rod shits itself.

And your cheaper alternative, is the more expensive way. DO NOT BUY ANOTHER K24 & JUST SLAP IT ON. It will slap you in the face when you bounce of the limiter.

Reason for stock comp k24a3 - Boost. Same as E85 explanation.

Reason for stock CU2 Piston - Do you even know its compression? TSX would be even better. CU2 will be more readily available in aus.

Also E85 is not worth it unless you have gone all out NA and still requiring more. Cost for performance gained is minimal. Boost is where you really see the benefit. You can run more boost before hitting the detonation threshold.

He already has 2 engines. Just rebuild to basic specs to best you can afford. Speak to an engine builder. He will clear the questions you have, can be done for under 5k if things go your way. Maybe remove/install and disassemble motor yourself. Get a shop to do all machining balancing and assembling.

I would be buying majority of the parts from overseas to save on cost. Aussie Vendors sometimes want too much.

Stock rods, TSX pistons, Supertech valves k20 head. $$$ add up quickly and then a decent cam

Stock k24 and turbo is cheaper lol

Thank you.
