why cant they make a k24 type r version

Because it would cost to much to make a 8500rpm k24a engine (eventhough I would love to have one)

[90LAN]

No, 164kW vs 140kW.

k24 was built for the masses
k20 for the real hondas

Can't generalise that way because there is also a 112kW K20a.

and if they do are always detuned shit versions of the real thing

has anyone mated a k24 bottom with a k20 head? what differences do u get and is it a direct fit?

[onlykillzz]

its not on sevs yet....

[Iron Chef]

It's not on SEVS yet because it takes more than a few days to do the application and get approval - the article has only just been published, and it's one of the eligibility criteria

Don't forget, SEVS board are picky, they can decline if they want to purely cause they don't like it (In the case of the Aristo...)

Aristo is the same car as a Lexus GS, hence the reason SEVS declined it.

[DreadAngel]

Nah, if that was the case, why is it approved now =P

Aaron doesn't work for Honda...

K24 has much more potential as an engine in my opinion, and there is more than one 'real' K20...
