DC5 ones have different bolt pattern, not sure about EU

just get some aftermarket hardrace/skunk2/function7s

[doosra]

U can get hard race ones from jdmyard. F7 is the bomb though ! Make sure u get ep3 ones ..as una91 said, diff bolt pattern from dc5.

What do you guys think?

oh btw does anyone know any good power coat-er in VIC?

Have heard good things about GD Sandblasting & Powder Coating in east side melb, think around $80 per wheel.

Better off going k24 then doing internals. Internals can come later after k24.

...

Better of buying K24 on the side and building bottom end. Once bottom end ready, pull out the k20 service head, Supertech combo wombo + cams.

Install and tune.

Well mate that's your opinion.
Money wise going k24 is cheaper. I'm sure if you take that into account the k24 would be a better option. How much do 2.4 blocks go for? I've seen good ones go for around the 1k mark even cheaper.

You confuse me.

My way is the cheapest, least down time of him not having a car.

Do it once, do it right.

You buy k24 block, rebuild it - w/e that maybe. OEM wit just new rings, new oil/water, bearings etc etc all the up to rods high comp pistons.

Once your k24 block is ready, you remove your k20. Take the head apart and get it serviced.

Then install the head on the k24 block and install into your car.

If your talking about straight swap k20a for a K24a3. Then I think your confused yourself. Cos that's not worth the money or effort.

They both make 147kW, k24 makes more tq, but k20 has true vtec + 50deg VTC. I know which one I'd stay with.

I will agree with you on building a bottom end in the side and doing it right once. Most people don't usually want todo that and wait and build over time. Putting a k24 block is easiest way to make very good gains quickly. But once again that's my opinion.
