and knowing that i finally got my friggen hands bloody and dirty after four years of engineering...you know what im talking about dude...no hands on experience until those last two semesters

First, congrats. You have a sweet setup.

I've been planning a build for a while but the 100% DIY is intimidating. Have you done anything like this before? I have an engineering degree too but have never done auto engine/tranny work.

thank you
i should have an engineering degree this upcoming fall (whoohoo mechanical, biomechanics concentration!), and a good set of tools, preferably air tools (a must for transmission work i'd say), a cherry picker, a hydraulic press, a jack, and stands should all suffice. the service manual is a must, and if you have some competent friends, that would be very helpful in taking the engine in and out without breaking anything. i found it a very enlightening experience--something that taught me more than any 400 level ice course would teach me. (well thats wrong, as building that engine would not have taught me those bloody thermodynamic tables lol) good luck if you bite the bullet! :thumb:

You could always save up and have SSR (six sigma racing) make you a custom header. they make great stuff. I had one a while back. Doug has one fitted with a custom cat too. Really quality pieces.

Can they do this without having my car? What kinda price would I be looking at?

i would think they are able to do it without your car, they make many of them and so they probably have a reference to go by. and the ssr header i would say its about the same price as the hytech one so around 1000.

[lldiesel386ll]

ssr quoted me a price for a k24 header at around 1200 shipped :thumb:
as much as i would have loved to have one of those on my car, my college student budget laughed right at my face

EDIT

pics are finally up! see post #1

[shadowmd]

[lldiesel386ll]

how about now? should be okay i think

[shadowmd]

[neoamd]

Nice build.

[lldiesel386ll]

lol thanks josh. i pretty much neglected this thread after putting the engine together--i think all my updates are on my members ride thread. i guess if i ever find time to clean up my engine bay ill have something to show, but my house is taking up most of my time. i'll make updates at my nearest opportunity

nice swap, years later... hows it running still? i love my swap, im k20a2 all the way, thinking bout k24 bottom end, but i like the 9k red line too much...
