***K24Z1 project teaser***

[tony1234]

yeah im looking at installing a air/fuel meter for the breakk in process...

according to adrian and the markings on the cams, mine are the JDM ones, 220hp... but i can only confirm this after ive measured the typeS cams...

I suggest you PM DR HONDA (Phill) here for a bit of advice.He's a Honda tech and has rebuilt a number of K series engines the latest being one that he installed in a Civic, was running low 12s at WSID and it was making 165kw ATW i think.Here's a link to a for sale thread of his with an engine he built.http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93567

Hi, Im probably gonna look in to this type of mod in the near furture. Can I ask why you didnt go for a local K20A2 head?

well heads in aus were over priced (from what i found)... and the one i found in the USA had low kms on it and at a reasonable price. plus (correct me if im wrong) the K20Z uses the same valve spring/retainer set up as the K20A typeR motor... which was a plus...

but when it comes down to it, i wanted it looked at by a guy in the states, and rather than buy a head here, post it to USA, then have it sent back. it was more econimical to buy it there and only sent overseas once


and tony, as for DR HONDA, yeah ive spoken to him a few times, seems like a very smart guy! i think he lives in melb? if i lived closer to him, he'd definately be helping with my build! mmmmm if only i could get 165atw!!!

i suppose ill just have to wait and see what my secret weapon puts down lol

went into see my good buddy at honda the other day to get prices for all my parts... good news is, parts will arrrive this week some time... bad news is, the tools cost about $1500!

but not to worry, im just going to borrow the tools from my mate

and in another step of goodluck, the dealership itself have offered for me to bring the car in and hook the ecu up to there computer for a full idle/map learn procedure on the new head free of charge!

lol it seems theyre just as keen to see if it works as i am lol

hehe got bored of waiting for my parts to arrive, so i decided id take my front bumper off so its easier getting the car on and off jacks and stuff... then it got me thinking... and this is what came of that thinking

I still stand by my theory that the k24a is out of breath above 5000rpm, so it would be interesting to see your dyno results. Can't wait!
