Why didnt u put the jrsc on ?

[gtecd20]

Going to sell it to help with funds for this swap but I thought there wasn't much gain and I heard u have to change something on the intake manifold

Sweet. Cant wait for the result.

adding a blower to an already powerful motor results in little gains? i guess 300whp isnt that big a deal anymore

You should eat ramen for a year and keep the JRSC, I think you'll regret selling it. IIRC, all you need to mate the SC to the k24a2 head is the hasport adapter plate. you can get that used for $75-100

I'm with them. This will be a really fun set up

[gtecd20]

lol great you guys are making me think twice about selling it, i guess ill try it out first as NA and go from there.
I just remember in another thread you have to get a smaller pulley so the smallest i have is the 4.0 and on this engine it will give me very little gains.
I am thinking the 4.0 would net like 5 psi right? and i think the 3.8 would be closer to 7-9psi

Nice. That motor look like it really belong there. You using your 5 speed tranny?

[gtecd20]

yep i might later add the tsx final gear hear that its better for highway driving

[klik]

Did you drive it yet? How is it compare to the jrsc?

[gtecd20]

Holy man night and day freaken so much tq man, it kills the jrsc big time
It is a little ruff at idle with the ac on due to the hasport mount but I like it
I'll try and post some videos but man oh man ur going to love it bro

[klik]

Fawk bro. Make me wanna do mine already. But all this bills and house payment i cant have enought to buy some of the parts. But for sure im pushing it pretty soon.

[gtecd20]

Yes man I understand but once u do it wow I hate the fact this wasn't a standard engine in our cars
They should of been smarter and put these in our cars, I only need a tune seems to be getting not so good mpg but at the same time have been driving faster lol

nice i cant wait for the final whp and trq once you dynoed and tuned.

[gtecd20]

yea im looking for some base kal cause idk hoq good the one my buddy got me is. so far had a sti as my victim today, he came up to me honked. I downshifted to 4th took off stayed even then VTEC kicked in shifted to 5th was almost a car length ahead of him AHHAHAHA just amazing!!

[klik]

Sweet you killed a sti with a untuned k24 lol. What year is the sti? Men i just wet my pants with k24 stories lol.

[gtecd20]

it looked like an early 2000 model maybe an 02-03, i did however have my first lost. I came up to a 88 5.0 mustang, bro this thing looked sick and i am not a stang fan at all.
but i come up to his left side he wouldnt roll down his window but i honk and i could hear he downshifts, i go to downshift to seond and he takes off. I start to catch up to him once vtec kicks in, shift to third he starts to pull away a little then he has me by a car we stop cause its going like 80 but DAM. im so proud of my ep3 cant wait to get it 45 dg vtc better intake mani and a good tune should be set after that

[klik]

Sweet. Yeah but that stang is prolly modded as fuck. You stayin all motor then ha.

[gtecd20]

yea i think i am have been thinking of selling the SC and i think i am maybe turbo down the road, i like the all motor feeling, not having to worry about motor blowing. my buddy had an ek with a k24a2 full race turbo at 5psi thing was insane fast. when he boosted it to11psi it was a beast raped everything he would run againts

[lemonhead228]

Glad to hear you'll happy And having a blast with the motor.. That's what I always said, rather swap out the a3 than to sc it

[Mikebuen]

How much did the whole setup cost you? Sorry I've been out of the Ep loop for a while but now that I got a promotion I'm tossing the idea of a K24A2 around.
