CHILD'S *EK* ... finally i have an EK
- Thread starter CHILD
- Start date
That doesn't sound unrealistic at all. It's a refreshing change of pace compared to all the kids that come on the site like "Imma swap a k20 and get like 700 hp NA"Anyways, good luck with it man! Keep us posted!
My buddy had nothing but a k24a2, an rbc intake manifold, k tuned header, 3" exhaust, a short ram intake and Kpro and he made 230/185 on a completely stock internal engine.
Agreed.
Anyways, good luck with it man! Keep us posted!
yeah i've seen a bunch like that with tsx motors. I just decided to keep my goals a bit modest so that i wont be disappointed. I love the torque curve on the dyno sheets ive been looking at. The k24's seem to have a speedbump tq curve that excites me
It'll happen for sure. Got my wife supporting me with this one. Anytime i even mention something different she snaps at me like, "NO! you said a k swap....so do it how you first wanted" which translates to "if you put me through all this s**t just to back out of it all of sudden, you will have to live in the garage and survive off of whatever food you can find in your tool box"
Im okay with that... lolIt'll happen for sure. Got my wife supporting me with this one. Anytime i even mention something different she snaps at me like, "NO! you said a k swap....so do it how you first wanted" which translates to "if you put me through all this s*** just to back out of it all of sudden, you will have to live in the garage and survive off of whatever food you can find in your tool box"
A modest k24a2 swap won't be too bad and won't end up costing too much. The problem with me is I spend a whole lot of money on s**t. But a tsx engine would be a great first k swap. Factory reliability and simplicity but in a better looking body. I'll do one in the future, but now is not that time. Too much stuff to buy other than project cars.
swap in a f20c lol rwd civic
Retarded....
CHILD, you've inspired me to look into a K with the info that you have provided. I do believe that is what I'm going to do now, I've been reading all day lol. I can't wait until you start your swap so I can have another guide for mine if and when I get stuck!!! Keep up what your doing!
BTW, your camera work is amazing, please make more videos lol.

Was talking with a local engine importer about getting a b18 the other day, and he told me I could get a b20 for a lot less, supply and demand and all that, anyway what do you think of the b20s, I ask you because you said you did a lot of reseach and you seem to have a good understanding of practical.
a b20 is a good motor, its a work horse good for torque and can make gobs of power when built as a b20/vtec. Figure out exactly what you want performance or reliability wise and that'll determine what motor you should go with. Honestly there are plus sides to pretty much each honda motor, so meeting your actual needs is the important thing
Are you going to be doing EKK1 or EKK2?
I can't decide if it's really worth swapping out my subframe to run EKK2.... I would like to run a nice intake manifold, but I also need to room in the rear for a turbo/manifold. Any insight on this?
