k24 pros and cons

[arthur]

Well ive being doing a lot of reading, and havent seen any thread that talks about the dissadvantages of a k24 swap. i know its got more potential than any other block, i think and that is the cheapest...
but what dont you like about a swap like that??
maybe mpg?? anything else??

i guess just not having three lobe vtec.

this statement excludes the k24a2 right?

pros: torque, and price for the "lower" end blocks (a4/a1)

cons: i dont own one so i dont know, if others could chime in, not a simple drop in like a k20/a2

1. right excludes k24a2
2. also is a simple drop in just need crv passenger side mount.

the weak rods go for just about all the K series motors. THe K20a3 I had broke a piston shaft. (LOL)

Not revving to the stratosphere and gas mileage. It is an easier swap than the k20 IMO. No changing harnesses or any of that shit...just one simple 30 second passenger mount.

is the gas mileage so bad??

You should really get a 6spd so you don't eat your mileage up. It uses 15% more fuel than the comparable motor...Ex k20a3 compares to the k24 a1 and a4. The k24a2 compares to the k20a2.

you dont need to change the harness for a k20, you can just run a a3 knock sensor


only con i can think of is the limit of high revving.

I guess the only cons for us Kali people is passing smog probably? Although it is possible to pass but haven't heard of someone passing legally yet...

[paulmofyourhand]

depends what k24 your talking about (a1, a2, a3, a4, etc).

in some states, its illegal to have the k24a1 (CRv) in ur ep3 because your not supposed to have a SUv motor in a passenger vehicle.
