Thinking about doing a K24A1 Swap...

[Kanzen Taichou]

Ok I've read the basics on the swap. If I go K24A1 then I'll swap the head and Frankenstein the shit out of it. I would like to know what is a good path to take while on budget and try to keep the swap mild for now... The main question is:
Would it be possible to swap the tranny and get an AWD EP3?? This is out of pure curiousity
Also what would that entail if it were possible?
With the frankenstein, at what point would I have to switch to premium gas?

Oh yeah, and what started the question of AWD was that I saw an ad in the classifieds from "Wilde Toyota" about a 2000 Civic AWD....... LOL

Keeping the swap mild but then also wanting AWD

AWD is a curiousity question no real effort on trying it unless it is totally plausible...

For the K24 build I would like to know how to mildy tune it on a budget, and where to get a good K24.

I'm talking about budget as in:
In debt
newborn daughter
non-working mother/fiance
soon to be married in a couple of months
part time schooling 2 night

You would incur an extreme amount of cost and effort to convert to AWD.

I am in about the same boat, except I had a lil boy 3 months ago.

I suggest you talk to PAPITUYO326 about a K24A1, and swap that mother into your car with bolt ons and Kpro for starters. Enjoy that setup for a lil while and then at your own pace find an A2 head and oil pump to complete the frank.

I have been playin with this idea. I know for sure I will be swapping a K24a1 (eventually) but i dont know if i want to frankenstein it or supercharge it.

Do both!

low compression, Supercharged 2.4L w. 3 lobe vtec and an aggressive intake cam from the 06+ TSX ...

Just a k24a1 swap with kpro and bolt ons will cost you close to 5k.

Not quite

The way i see it is around 1k for basic i/rh/e (we will say injen cai, dcrh, and whatever exhaust you want), 1k for Kpro, and 1.3k for the K24A1.

Thats 3300(ish) for a k24a1 with bolt ons. Should yield many smiles before he has to swap the A2 head on. Still a bit less than the said 5k

I recommend getting your finances straight before putting any money into a car.

Yea, this isn't going to happen any time soon.. I'm still playing with the idea and the many facets and ways that it can go... I would love the high revability.... but that's not too practical if i'm looking for raw get up and go power...
