k24 pros and cons

[davisj3537]

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.

Now why didn't I think of that.lol.

cons: weak rods

Excluding k24a2

[whitt]

Revs. Really the only reason I went with k20.

Im interested in a k24a2 non dbw motor.

how many mpg is a k42a1 wit 310cc injector doing?? with stock ep3 ecu??

[K-Shark]

what about torque steer and hard launching?

k24 owners please chime in...

[powdbyrice]

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...

i dont see why it wouldnt pass smog? it was designed to pass smog unlike the k20a.

as far as mileage goes, k24 in the tsx gets 19/28 mpg and the tsx weighs ~3200lbs. ep weighs ~2800lbs, so i would assume the mileage would be a tad better?

yeah the k24a2 would pass everything, but like someone said the k24a1 is not a legal swap in cali unless its going in a small truck or suv.

It is going to get prob 2 to 3 mpg worse than you are getting now.

lol. Tq steer is a blessing.hehe.

Who's gonna know? Unless they check the stamp...I don't live in Cali so don't know how hardcore they get but I can't imagine them being that dickish.

the same rules apply to the k24's the same as they did for B-series engines. With the exception of the CRV motor since it is considered a light truck.

But pretty much as long as you retain all stock components (i.e. headers..although i hear you will need to get one that can clear the sway bar...just make sure it has a CARB number on it, intake manifold, wiring harness, USDM computer, all necessary sensors, etc.) you should be able to get it BAR'd. Then you get a nice sticker certifying you and when the cops pull you over and make you pop your hood you can just point and smile

so the tq steer isn't that bad? i know weltall was elluding to the fact that his tq steer was god awful, but then again he's making gobs and gobs of tq.

I was kinda joking. I was running right at 300wtq, punching the gas and trying to change lanes was damn near impossible...cool but somewhat dangerous if you are not carefull. Tq steer can change lanes for you, litterally if you don't a atleat one hand FIRMLY on the wheel.
