alrighty.. so i just got a job making some good money working off shore so i think instead of buying a new car im just going to swap a k24 into my cl. I have been doing some research on using the k20head with the k24 block but i think im going the leave it a relatively stock k24. I looked on hasports website but could not find mounts for my swap does anyone know if they make them at all?

Josh99CL

Get custom mounts made?

spencer_homer

hasport makes a kit for the accord that fits

you need the kit for accords

Hasport makes a kit. If you've got the money, stop typing and get to work RIGHT NOW on getting it done, theres too many people talking performance and not following through

swap it now!!!! Once it's done we'll start telling you to put on the k20 head. :wink:

I'll definitely be checking back on this swap.

*EDIT* I just checked Hasport's site and didn't see any mounts for the Accord. Anyone have a link?

Why a K series?

Seems you can get the same performance for less money with a H series

^^^^^^^^^!!!!!!

Ken1997TL

I speak from experience having put an H series in my '91 Prelude (its nearly road-worthy)

Blazin Si

The K series responds to mods better than the B and H series. I've ran neck and neck or lost to a bunch of relatively stock K motors. Kpro and bolt-ons will usually give you 200hp to the wheels. The 6 speed transmission is very nice too.

Ken1997TL

Of course it does, not arguing with that. But is the cost difference worth it?

Blazin Si

I guess it depends on how far you want to go with it. I would personally do an H swap also. Mostly because it's easier.

Don't talk him out of the K swap! The 1st gen section has been dead lately and we need something exciting to discuss.

a k swap would be fun to discuss. Has anyone ever successfully attempted it? Maybe the OP can tell us his failures + successes so we can keep track

Dicorp

i Was gonna say. Unless your going for originality which is not worth the money IMO. not that much money anyways.

want a k? buy an RSX-S or Civic SI.

SupraManAG

lol true but a k project would be cool

Dicorp

definitely. but until the good k engines become cheaper, like h22 cheap, i wouldn't expect many to happen.

a2ndragoon89

by the time that happens, there will probably be an even better engine series haha...too much time to wait

spencer_homer

im all talk no go haha
hopefully the swap starts in september like planned.

im taking the first step and im trying to get a DD. really trying to pick this thing up.

T28 on a D16? I wouldn't do it... That's just my though...

spencer_homer

yeah i thought about it. but the car is so unique. i dont want to pass it up. and to have AWD 6spd and turbo would be so fun its not even funny. especially in a wagon. sleeper city.

and yeah its a d16.but worse comes to worse, those motors are dirt cheap so i could get another. and probably toss in a B while im at it.

mattastick

Well, you are talking about yanking out an F... From what I've heard, they're boost friendly... Although, you would lose the AWD part of it... decisions decisions

DaInFaMMuS1

The more i think about it...the less a K swap makes sense. If I can put a whoopin' on RSX-S's and new SI's that have K's in a lighter car than a CL with an H swap for 1/2 of what the K costs, the only reason i can see for the swap is originality.

spencer_homer

No I wouldn't put an f series into it. It's just going to be my driver. I'm gettin it so I can rebuild the CL. I'm not worried about the
motor. It's only 10 psi, and if it goes, then I'l
l replace it.

And chris I see what your saying with the h vs. K
The k's are pretty weak. But if you mod them right an h22 can't touch it. But the h22 Is also very mod friendly. I would like to be unique more than anything. And an h swap just really isn't anything special. It's still awesome. But not unique.

k motors arent weak.

Blazin Si

What shift linkage would be used for a K swap in a CL?

mamdike311x

Now you guys are making me second guess a k series swap lol. I can find a good k24a complete setup for around 3 grand with low miles say 25-40 on the engine and tranny. Here in houston these thigns are plentyfull but then again so are The h series and they would go for around 2-2500. I just want my car to be quick instead of dead slow. if i could turbo my f series yet still keep the dd aspect i would probably do that. it all depends on price what is the best bang for the buck to get to 225hp thw and still be dependable.

a2ndragoon89

k24 ftw man. when years go by, the k motor parts will still be around, not too sure about h motors, after maybe a while it'll be obselete

incredulous1

^ what about the f's? they'll be beyond dead. except the f22c (or w/e the s2k motor is)

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

^ F20c is s2k one.

Dicorp

yes, the K swap doesn't make sense because it's too expensive.
but the It is not a weak motor, those things can be beasts, especially in a hatch.

both f22c and the f20c are S2k motors. and they have very little in common with the accord F series. the K series was actually born from the S2k motors more or less.

When you play it safe, you cut the opportunity to achieve something greater.

mitch14

^the OP just said he could get the motor for 3g's, that doesn't sound expensive for a k to me
so i'd say get it, sounds like a hell of a deal compared to 2-2.5g's for an H

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Dicorp

which K motor? He mentioned the K24 but did not specify it being the Accord or TSX one. But don't forget all the additional stuff. it doesnt just drop in like an H.

and where are you getting 2500 for an H22?

anyways, the OP needs to chime in again, I'm curious which K he is getting for 3g

starboy2nv

iTrader: (2)

k motors in ny are easy to get.. and for a good price as well.. fyi

a2ndragoon89

in Cali, it's pretty easy to get em too. Short block for 400ish, tranny for 500ish, just fabricating mounts, wiring, and etc for the car would be a bish
