K24a4 Swap (accord) - Whats Needed

[davisj3537]

^ I second that...you really should get kpro.

[JDM-ELY]

Boosting the k24a4 will be a good idea?should i change 2 the k20a3 head?......do i really need the hasport gasket? Thanks

[SPECIAL K20A]

well i just blew my motor just wanted to know if the k24 of the elemnet work in my ep i have a reflash i found one with 53000 miles on it for 300 bucks will my manifold bolt up

OMG 300 is a steal for any running K24! dude THMotorsports has a kpro ready to go, just have to ship it... so there is no wait... if you need tuning options asap.

i dont know anything about the reflash so i cant speak on it. i am very limited on kpro, just enough to load basic kals, and datalog.

manifold will fit if you tap the head for the coolant source. if not, get the rbc IM and that has the hookup built in. you will also need the a4 manifold gasket (to cover the built in line).

read the stickys in this section, they are super helpful.

would i feel a big difference between both motors now anothing my a3 i was pulling it too 8000 rps will the k24 take that abuse or whats the highest i can pull it

[SinisterCivicSi]

my a4 is at 7200 rpms. you can take a2's higher. not sure about the a1's

[SPECIAL K20A]

well i need to pick it up already its at my friends house but just not convice i dont really feels like spending on kpro well i got to pay 435 because i have reflash but i dont really have cash right now for that ill be more happy if i knew i can use my a3 ecu

Whats a solid build on this motor. Kpro is a must. What about internals?

Which would be better to swap the k24a1 or the k24a4, I know where I can get these motors and cheap to. Just trying to do some research before I get it and swap it in.

x2 i can get some swaps for pretty cheap. pros and cons for all the k24's?

Personally I think it goes k24a2>k24a1>k24a4. Reason being, the k24a2 already has a vtec head, then the k24a1 is ready for an a2 head with no need to swap anything else, then finally the k24a4 because in order to add a vtec head you need to swap the pistons and ideally the rods as well. It really just depends on your plans.

1800cad k24a2 with 30k kms on the clock. good deal?

what's that in us dollars? If it's sub 2 grand then most definitely.

Average prices for a k24a2 is 1800-2200 depending on miles, k24a1 900-1100, k24a4-800-900. None of these prices include shipping though.

yes, depends on your plans and your budget. doing a swap is more than just throwing down cash for a motor... you have to figure out where you want to be with it, what parets are needed, possible necessary repair/replacements and having some extra money for the "woopies" that WILL come up. . . trust me i know about that. lol

i have started seeing k24a2's going for as low as $1500 as well... but i am sure it depends on mileage and where you get it. i got my a4 3 years ago with 45K on the clock and i paid $600 for it. i got it for a steal.
