K24A8 swap in the works

[lbk02si]

Was this question directed towards the OP or me ?

in general, whats the point of the a8 swap?

[euroyellow]

for me I needed to probably rebuild my k20a3 anyway so cost effective was my reason....got a pretty good deal on the motor
and only 12k on it.

Other than that no other reasons i guess.....in the end it would prob cost the same to build it up to a k20a2

This is my DD, I put about 30-40k a year on it.......hopefully for not to much longer then I can have some fun with it...

prob just swap to a k20a2

thanks for your help guys

I do have another vehicle but I want to get this one back asap

so I hope it goes off without a hitch

so I can anticipate hell with the headers but other than that i should be cool

The milage on my A3 was getting high and I did not want to bother modding it, so I decide to swap in something that was inexpensive and had low miles. I bought my K24A8 for well under a thousand bucks and it only had 2K miles on it. With the mods I have I made 210WHP and 172 LB FT of Torque . Not the fastest thing around but it's pretty decent for daily driver.

yeah me too.........not to mention you probably sold your k20a3 for as much as you bought the k24a8....lol

Significantly more torque and down the road power potential? Besides, it's not like an EP swap is a terribly hard endeavor.

Must I remind you, while I was standing next to you.."Fuck it, I quit and I am selling the motor", hahaha.

Thanks............hoping it will go smoothly..........I am pretty much ready to go...got most of the parts in from honda and others...
well at least enough to get going still want to pick up an RBC manifold and I have to figure out the header/mid pipe situation after.....but its ready to be pulled and
the k24 dropped in..............getting started on it now actually was just researching something.....

a DC5-S spec DCRH or KRRH should do the job. You might want to run an EM2 front sway bar for clearance.

[euroyellow]

cool yeah I will prob run the DCRH..... and its an 02 so I have read there is no clearance problem on the 02's but I will see when I get it in.......
it's really starting to get hot here so I need to get on it........102F today.........ouch
