Wheen posted this in another forum.
http://www.skunk2.com/raceShop/garageSale.html
1) USED 2450cc Skunk2 K24 Racing Engine: PRICE $8500
These engine were used by Skunk2 Racing used to run 9.80's at 140mph.
with the right header and throttle body configurations, these engines make
320hp running on racing gasoline (tested on a Superflow chassis dyno,
dynojet number should be about 10whp higher). These engines have been
carefully inspected and serviced. long block only!!
Engine Specs:
13.5/13:8 : 1
K24 Block (Sleeved by Golden Eagle)
Ported K20A2 cylinder head
Racing Valvesprings
Forged Valves

I think what you guys are missing is this:
'Ported K20A2 cylinder head'
With the change in head, means no more DBW. Easier to add a k-pro to piggyback the ECU (swap with K20a ecu?) and add a turbo.
From that i have read, the bottom is the same between the K24 and K20.

We know they are 12.1:1 (or higher) compression in the RTR TSXs and this monster is even greater.
BUY IT!!!

I forgot what racing series but I remember the commnetator saying that the RSX run K24A bottoms with K20A heads.

320 on racing fuel though, how much on pump?

Remember the Realtime guys got their TSXs down to near RSX weight.... ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Sorry for taking this off topic but where the heck does Skunk 2 get all their money for R/D tons of engine, having a race team, and such. I was browsing through their website and I was pretty amazed of their facility but I still don't know where'd they get all the fundings from. Their catalog for aftermarket parts isn't that big either. Not many people that I know uses Skunk2, so that means they're not making profit from selling parts.
Could it be building engines for other team? R&D for other companies?

rmpage, its a complex setup but i've been speaking to one of the guys at centrax auto (a tuning/parts shop in brisbane, australia) and he said it's definitely possible. Apparently seperate ecu's are required to run the functions that would other wise be rendered useless in the car (speedo etc.) but essentially it can be done if you have the money - a tsx specific application isn't neccessary with a motec. The guy at centrax auto will be using a motec setup for a k24/k20 hybrid project in a dc2R to be used for tracking.
I'll have to have another chat to him about ecu options but, from our initial discussions, he said the ecu setup he currently runs in his DC5R was around 10,000 with tuning - the cost was higher becuase he is the first one in austalia to run such a setup, but obvioulsy it's not cheap.

From what i've remember the MOTEC ECU alone cost about $2200, and that is the cheapest one. M4 if I remember the name correctly.
Like Chris_F said, with the MOTEC it does not have to be specified for the TSX, M4 is universal. The problem lies with fiding someone who really knows MOTEC. The neat feature is that wiring isn't that PITA since you can connect it as a piggy back and lets OEM controls HVAC, radio, etc. while MOTEC controls the engine.

Yea , MOTEC is defintiely an expensive route to go, but the only one i know of at the present time. the costs involved in getting such an ecu and finding/paying someone to tune it isnt worth it for a lot of ppl. They are really powerful though and can be used to really fine tune the engine, another benifit about them being universal - if you ever get a different car it'll work on that too
