K24 Swap in DC5

[emin777ify]

its goes but that juss about the same my gsr pulled in third gear an not on a dyno

[hemiowner105]

i see ur reving this engine to over 7k. is the bottom end stock? have you had any problems with it? thanks for the info in advance.

[zzfunk13]

@hemiowner105

stock bottom end reving to 7800 with no issues. The k24a2 is a great engine.

[MaddDogg81]

hmm really. I have over my RSX-S turbo sometimes and it hasn't blown up. how many mile son it when it blew?

[MaddDogg81]

So how'd te engine blow up?

[zzfunk13]

@MaddDogg81

over rev. :/

[fastblack09]

im lookin into swaping a k24 in my 97 del sol, its gotta d16y7 right now eewww lol

[juneya23]

can i have your old motor

[s2ksal]

dude thats awesome i have the same set up on my 02 type s.... i have 05 k24a2 and 06 type s transmission intake header exhaust and the kpro... i just got the rbc yesterday i still have to put it on, did you have to mod it at all to fit the k24? or is it just direct bolt on?

[zzfunk13]

@s2ksal

The RBC is a direct bolt on for the K24.

[77Poisoned77]

nice vid terrible music

[925KrazzyP]

whered you buy the engine?

[MaddDogg81]

was the K24 basically a drop in. What non RSX-S mounts did you use?

[zzfunk13]

@MaddDogg81

I used the CR-V Passenger side motor mount bracket. Other than that it was just a basic drop in.

[MaddDogg81]

how'd you clean the tranny aluminum

[zzfunk13]

@MaddDogg81 wire brush on a drill

[chonglee72]

What exhuast are you running?

[zzfunk13]

@chonglee72 Greddy Evo II

[06RSEXY]

i have the avid mounts to. its alot better design to me then the innovatives. they are badass arent they.

[Scourge1024]

Your build almost mirrors mine. My cyilinder 3 went after a spun bearing (caused by me cornering hard with very little oil). Biggest diff is mine's an 02 and I stuck with my original intake manifold. Found a cheap K24A2. K20A2 head was repaired, not replaced. Swapped out my cams for Toruku ones (company gone now I think?). Already had K-Pro from before.

[Apodalont]

Great video! I have an oo ek hatch and I want badly to put a k24 (hopefully a2 from what I read) under the hood with the hybrid racind a/c and p/s kit! Having 2.4 liters of ivtec happiness in a car barely over 2,000 lbs just sounds like fun. Oh and no disrespect to the dc5 guys but, my car has two control arms at each corner!!! HAPPY!

[zzfunk13]

@Apodalont  Us DC5 guys will be the first to tell you our suspension setup sucks and we all hate it. But what can you do? Just get wider tires, stickier tires, and a good coilover setup and hope you stick to the ground lol

[sirixayp]

i was thinking about getting a k24a4 but idk. i just wonder how hard the swap into a del sol is.

[zzfunk13]

Any k-swap in a del sol has to be pretty nasty! Little car big engine! As far as k24's go if you can find an A2 I would use that over an a1 or a4 but all three would work awesome in your car either way!

[sirixayp]

eh ive seen a turbod k20a2. i told my mom my plans. and she asked me why dont i just get a rsx i was like WTF you said no to that a year ago... just because she saw my cousins rsx...

[chingyumc]

lol fyl then.

[Scourge1024]

Nice. I've got a Del Sol as well. Have a complete K20Z3 (tranny included and shift arm converted to RSX-S) as well as a K24A2 I originally planned to do a mild build on before I lost my job. I've gotta figure out how to solve my VSS issue though with the 06 Si tranny.

The K24A4 swap isn't bad if you swap out the rods and pistons to be able to use a wider variety of heads (valve clearance). K20A2 or K20A3 trannies for VSS compatibility. Easier to work with. Z3 tranny with A2 case okay too. :)

[dipsetking27]

omg bro thats amazing ur pushing beastly numbers my dc5 is slow as shit but i still luv it to death

[zzfunk13]

The DC5 is a fun car and I love it to death also. I sold my 01 GSR for this and have never had a second thought about it. (sans parts are more expensive lol )

The car is in storage for winter but I hope to be over 400whp when she comes out to play again next summer

[dipsetking27]

how much horesepower are u pushing now with tha swap and how much did it cost

[zzfunk13]

When I was N/A and did the swap we put down 209hp and 170? torque.. (don't remember torque numbers)

Now I'm supercharged pushing 315hp and 230lb torque.

The engine ran me around $2250 and misc. parts put me around $3000 give or take.

[zzfunk13]

No you are wrong Try2lie. I have a k24a2 and there is no need to swap heads. You need to research more. If I had a k24a1 or k24a4 I would yes but with the a2 no need. My cams are bigger and the headflow is almost the same if not better than the k20! Also the head doesn't change the RPMs. Rpm's are rpm's. The head has nothing to do with that. It's the extra mass of the rotating assy that limits speed. stroke is a lot of the factor, the higher the stroke the less it wants to rev.

[TrY2LieAgain]

haha y did you earase my comments??? was i right bout the head y do people change the k24 head to the k20z haha

[TrY2LieAgain]

you should have machined ur old head n put it on the k 24 den those rrpm's wouldnt been missed

[zzfunk13]

yeah there was no saving that..... trust me....

[zzfunk13]

Also.... the head has nothing to do with RPM's man... it's all about piston speed and how the block is built... I could swap heads sure... but it won't gain any RPM because it has nothing to do with it. The crank and the stroke and the compression etc are what build high revs. Also, the head I have is the closest to the k20 head and the cams are bigger in the k24a2 than the k20 so no need to swap any of it. If I had a k24a1 or a k24a4 I would have swapped heads and built the block. :)

[91DAintegraB20]

you should use the K20 intake cam so you can get all 50 degrees of vtec...if you havent already :)

[zzfunk13]

I have the K20Z1 VTC Cam Gear in there. The highest degree is 45* with a k24

Already done :)

[91DAintegraB20]

nice so before you put the JRSC on did you notice a diffrence in top end from the two motors

[marlo916]

is this k24 out of the crv or the tsx? and is it the whole k24 or did you put a k20 head?

[zzfunk13]

It is a full k24a2 swap from the TSX

[MaddDogg81]

cool. I have a turbo RSX If I had to pick a K series to put in my RSX I'd go witha K24. THe RSX should have been a K24 with 220hp

[bbbd]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO how did u do that!!! OMG PAIN!! :( u ruind a dc5!! :( lol..

[fliptn]

iknowthat was mad bread

[zzfunk13]

wasn't bad till I added the supercharger... lol

Then it started to get pricey

[bbbd]

can i ask why did u go for a k24?

[zzfunk13]

well . . .

first) the k24 makes more torque and pretty even amounts of HP as the k20

second) the k24 was a lot cheaper than buying another k20z1.

[bbbd]

ah ok thanks :) we usally have the JDM typeR here so its the K20a that drops in. and how did u blow it that badly?

[zzfunk13]

hahahahaha

yeah I looked into the Type-R k20a but several friends said just go k24 and I've never regretted it. I miss the high RPM though...

I blew my engine pretty damn bad and literally it was in the blink of an eye. I was shifting out of third and it didn't go into 4th and I neutral over reved the engine and when it bounced off revlimiter she dropped a valve and BOOM

[bbbd]

ouch! :( im so scared ill do that in a dc5 when i get 1 :( last thing i wanna do... hope the revlimiter in the typeR is better :\

[zzfunk13]

well a word of advice.. I'm not a fan of the cable tranny. The gears are just so damn close.. and coming from an 01 GSR it feels so different. After I bought the p-spec tuning shift kit I've never had a problem since and don't mind the feel of the cable trans

[K20Mike1]

great video i loved the detail, did you take the head off your z1 and put it on the a2 block making it a k20/k24?

[zzfunk13]

I did not. The head on my Z1 was completely destroyed. Thats a straight dropped in k24a2

[hondannyboy]

awesome video, 5 stars

[zzfunk13]

thank you very much

[marlo916]

whats with the night b4 christmas songs in this and the other vids? lmao. i loved that movie. crsx ftw

[zzfunk13]

Originally I had Lamb of God but the damn Warner Bro contract licensing took the sound off my video so I just picked a random song that they wouldn't delete.

CRSX ftw

[ryndaco]

how much money u spend on motor?

[zzfunk13]

Engine was around $2400

[pimpquince]

omg how did that happen to the motor lol??

[zzfunk13]

over rev and valve float

[TaLoCc]

so like in this video can this motor past smog in ca n state ref? one more question how come u didnt rev it to 8,000rpm?

[zzfunk13]

Smog no for I have a race header and no catalytic converter. With a cat I believe it would be fine. But I don't have those rules and regulations here so I have no idea lol sorry

I didn't go to 8,000 because the rev limit on the k24's is lower than k20's. I was told 7500 is a safe RPM for stock internals.

[bigdaddy496]

dood you need to post some updates already, we need to see this thing in action

[zzfunk13]

check out my newest video. I just supercharged it :)

[venom3114]

I think the other song is by Soilwork?

[zzfunk13]

if you are referring to the very very end song.. that is "one last sunset" by Killswitch Engaged

[venom3114]

Thanks much.

[bigdaddy496]

dood who sings these songs? that rock song made me wanna go beat someones ass, badass shit

[zzfunk13]

haha the main song is bye scar symmetry and the song is "the illusionist"

[venom3114]

The first song is a cover that was composed by Danny Elfman for the move "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It sounds sweet!

[closest2nike]

was that a k24a2 from a tsx....im trying to do the same thing...how much u spent for the whole swap

[zzfunk13]

engine ran me $2300

[BigBoiPete]

hey dude you got aim if so aim me at ohyea215...im doin a k24 swap right now it should be done this week im on club rsx but not currently active havin trouble posting and shit...

[justbobagian]

mad tyte VTAK YO

jk nice DC5

[zzfunk13]

Dude MaddDogg81 you've asked the same exact question on all 3 of my k24 videos. I'm the same guy with the same car in them. You probably didn't even notice. 209whp and 174lb torque. But it's just a base k24 calibration and needs a full tune.

[MaddDogg81]

how much power
