to swap or not that is the question

[BajaPantiEP]

hey watup fellas need personal opinions, i think i got a pretty good idea what the majority of ephatchers will say lol, but i just got a decent job getting paid good money, and all i can think about is my car and where to throw the money to, motor wise...... things to keep in mind, i need reliability, not a turbo guy, and i dont race no more but i love speed when in deed in need to relieve stress and what not, im stuck between either rebuilding a k20a3 head like upgrade valves,springs with stage 2 cams, or just saving up to get a k24 swap, im only looking for maybe 200-240 horsepower nothing crazy or to take to take to the track but more of a my shit got balls type of deal what u guys think, and whats the average of a k24 motor from what u guys know,,,thanks opinions appreciated

[AKEP]

[talonXracer]

thats the non vtec correct

EVERY K-series engine has both VTC and VTEC !!!!


TS, For the power level you are looking for I would not start with anything but the K24A2 as a base for your buildup.

If I do it all over, I'd def. go with k24 and slap on a nice tranny upgrade.

I would rather go with the K24A2 right from the start, better head, better crankshaft, better rods, better pistons, pretty much a win, win, win, win, situation.....

[BajaPantiEP]

word guys thanks for the inspriration, how much would a k24a2 run me, with decent mileage, a price that i know when i go to buy one. there not tryna pull a fast one on me

[AKEP]

no more than 1800 for it. period. i got one for 1700 with both manifold, injectors, wire harness, tb, and flex plate. everything but the powersteering and alternator.
