high compression K24

[kon]

Just curious, but which K24 block and crank are you using for your build?

K24a2 block and crank. Crank was rebalanced and polished and the oil squirters were plugged.

I really can't say. Some time in the next few weeks. With my work schedule, its hard to do anything.

Im almost positive that ALL K24 Cranks are the same.. TSX, Accord, CRV

You are correct sir. I used to have a K24a4 crank and spun that thing to 8K all day.

[SP33D FREAK]

yeah im spinning my k24a4 crank to 8200....:)

You people are crazy.

Mine won't see 8k

Then you are potentially loosing power. Mine saw 8500 on a pretty regular basis and was fine until it ate a foreign object. It was still fine except for the damage done to the piston and combustion chamber done by the foreign object. No excess wear to the rods or bearings.

My exhaust won't support making power up there. DCRH with a 2.25 mid-pipe and stock axle back.

you need to upgrade! i'm on the same boat. i just finished putting cams on the car but the dc race header and the spoon midpipe + axle back are going to hold me back.

i'm going to save up for an ssr or hytech race header and getting a custom 3 inch exhaust made of aluminum.

Ah, that I understand. If it won't make power then you're right, no point in spinning it up that high.

I don't know if I agree. I have a 3" and while it does make power it is so damn loud it drives me crazy. Also it hangs down low enough that clearance is an issue too. My car is a track bitch only pretty much so I can live with that, but I would not bother with it on a daily driver.

what would be the best head swap for my A3 block with some mods

if you are really set on a head swap...I would try and source a K24a1 head and swap that on with some A3 aftermarket cams (even though the ultimate cost would be the same as a A2 head). People have been seeing some decent gains with that.

[15000rpms]

did you port and polish your head? I heard that it might be necessary to do so to support higher compression, meaning that you need it to see some gains with the high compression pistons.
