If I had a k24 out of crv and a head from a k24 out of a tsx would they mate together? If so would it suck like when ppl put crv motors in fast cars and they blow b/c they are not used to high rpms? let me know the mad scientists lab is in session...

 

the reason those old "B20 block and B18/B16 head" blow up in some car is becuase of the setup...there some race car out there with that setup and still driving fine...i think theres a few drilling and fitting mod u have to do for coolin.

K24a1 from a CRV fuse with a K24a2 from a TSX? i think its possible...might work even better than the old B20/B18/16 setup.

 

in doing so...with what tranny are u gonna be using? even if the tranny line up...i bet u will need a custom axles.

 

It's been done before. I saw it in some magazine a long time ago. Sorry I can't give you any more info than that.

 

in what car?

 

with the correct work, it can be a reliable engine. For Jackson Racing to make a supercharger for it, it has to be good.

 

the engine combo would work but where would you get the k-series engine mounts for the cl?? when you find out let us all know

 

u have to made custom mounting bracket and wiring will be the other nightmare.

 

It think it might have been an RSX or a TSX. I've seen a k-series swap done in a 6th gen Civic, so yeah...if you have the money anything's possible.

 

yeah i've seen a k-series done on a 4dr Integra....anything is possible if u have the cash.

 

Wait, it might have been a TSX with the same block, but RSX-S head, or an RSX with it's head and TSX block. I can't remember!!!!

 

Ok, hold up. I think it would be pointless since they have the same displacement. I just realized this after my last post. The point is to have a larger displacement block for more torque, and a high reving head. Such as the RSX Type-S head and the bigger block of the TSX.

 

have you seen the video with that 6th gen civic hatch beating a yellow evo 8 with like low 20 lbs of boost... civics mods were stock ecu stock k20

 

have u seen the video of LS/VTEC Turbo beat a 11sec Viper and a GSX1200 on the street? straight out sleeper.

 

we never had a problem w/ the one we built, but I've had friends blow them up, but anything will blow if you don't treat it right

 

not that hard, they have bolt in kits for them now, this is a VERY VERY popular swap, there are NUMEROUS K-series older honda and acuras out here. My friends shop had about 3-4 hatches and tegs w/ k-series swaps

 

weld them in yourself. If my tranny goes and I do look to doing a swap, i'll see the different w/ the h22a and the k24 and maybe do the k24

 

have you seen the one where the guy attached a jet engine to his car? even faster!



have you seen the AOL American Choppers commercial? Time Travel!

 

So...basically i should get the block crv block isnt what i need (shit!) i rly should look for a tsx block and an rsx head? and what tranny would i use i didnt get that far. i dont care how long it takes,ill save teh money. does anyone kno how fast these motors are is it worth it?

 

now that i've got to thinkin about it it doesn't sound that bad...the shifter and the wiring will be a headache, but not much bigger than any other engine swap... ...when i get my crown vic/road king i may have to look this all up

 

shifter shouldn't be a problem honestly, and their are already wiring kits available, rest shouldn't be hard, although I hate wiring




throw a 427 in the vic!!

 

shhh the wife may hear you

 

I was watching the show rides and this dude had a helicopter engine in his pickup... idled at 35000 rpm or something and redlined at 2 million rpms... i was shocked. the had 2 8 inch exhausts coming out of the top of the cab like on the 18 wheelers.

 

i saw that....the horse power tour. that was crazy! it was on a F150

 

i've seen so much crazy weird shit, helicopter engines in old bugs, turbine cars, some people do some CRAZY CRAZY shit

 

That would be SICK!! Do you have a link?



I wanna see that one too!!!!!

 

All the K-series parts should be interchangeable, including the transmissions. As for blowing up the motor, within reason, the limiting factor would be revs with the longer stroke of a k24. It would have to be pretty conservative on the rev side using a k24 block and crank compared to a k20a, k20a2, or k20z1.

 

Did anyone read my post ?

 

^Just to add, you might want to check out maybe honda-tech, hybrid-racing.com or a few other K-series resources for more definitive info as that was just a basic generalization.

 

What exactly was the point you were making? I'm kind of confused as to what you were calling pointless, a CRV block with a TSX head?

 

Yes?

 

i was confuse on what u were trying to say also.

well i'm pretty sure the K24 on the CRV and the K24 on the TSX have different compression ratio giving the K24 (CRV) a short stroke and produce more torque than the TSX.

 

and that video i was talking about was a long time ago, i have no idea where it is now.

 

Well, a TSX head would definitely flow a lot better than the CRV head, so it isnt too illogical. It is a pretty significant upgrade because the CR-V head is only "VTEC" on the intake side, like the older F and D sohc VTEC motors. The k24a2 is two-sided intake/exhaust VTEC and probably flows close to an a2 head. But yes, a k20a, a2, z1 head would probably be better from a pure flow standpoint alone than the TSX k24a2 head.
